Land of borders at the feet of the Prealpes, of deep valleys, of crystalline waters, of imposing castles, Varese is the perfect balance between nature and the hand of man. A place where human settlements have not only not destroyed the landscape, but have enriched it and provided it with a halo of unique beauty. A beautiful palette of colours where valleys, lakes and rivers intermingle with the mountains plagued by lush forests, offering different chromatic charms in each season. A landscape that is only interrupted by luxurious villas surrounded by Italian or English style gardens, parks, bell towers and small villages perched in the hills. Full of old paths that today serve for the enjoyment of many travellers who love nature activities. What are you waiting for to book your rental in Varese?

Varese, called the 'città giardino' or garden city, thanks to its numerous green spaces, extends at the foot of the Sacro Monte di Varese, which belongs to the Campo dei Fiori massif. In this regional park in the north of Italy, Holidu offers you a series of dream holiday rentals in perfectly preserved old estates or villas, surrounded by exciting gardens. If you stay there, when you wake up you will only hear the birds singing. In this area are the Giovanni Schiaparelli astronomical observatory and the Prealpine Geophysical Centre, as well as the medieval sanctuary of Santa Maria del Monte. This fascinating area is only 10 kilometres from the centre of Varese which, in turn, is about 40 kilometres from the Airport of Milan-Malpensa, which is the nearest airfield. Of course it is also possible to reach Varese easily via Milan-Linate airport. A little further away, although well connected to Varese by public transport, are the airports of Milan-{Bergamo}{17451}}, Turin and Lugano.

In the vicinity of Corso Matteotti Street in the old town, where several beautiful stately buildings rise, you can book great holiday rentals, Bed and Breakfast and tourist rentals with really impressive themed decoration. This area is pedestrian, and its beautiful streets are full of restaurants and shops that you can meet at your own pace. If you prefer, you can also rent your accommodation in villas with swimming pool and rural houses surrounded by beautiful landscapes, somewhat away from the centre, but in the middle of the beautiful green environment offered by this city garden. Unlike other Lombard cities, the urban centre has not joined the city's periphery, but both areas are separated by large landscaped spaces surrounding beautiful villas built in the 18th century. In some of them you can get your holiday accommodation, a unique opportunity as these villas are among the biggest attractions in Varese. But Lake Varese is also a good area, where you'll find idyllic villas with spectacular views from the terrace. And if you want to enjoy the peaceful pace of rural life, we recommend that you look for accommodation in the charming villages of Bodio and Brunello.

It is possible to organise a great group trip through Varese, given the opportunities the region offers for pleasant excursions. The walk preferred by the locals is the one that goes up to the Sacred Mount through the Via Sacra, which meanders through fourteen chapels. It ends at the sanctuary of Santa Maria del Monte. Another alternative is to start from Stresa in the direction of the Borromeo Islands. These are Bella Island, with its Borromeo Palace, Mother Island, with its lush vegetation, and Fishermen Island with its idyllic seaside village. A very interesting route is the one that leads to Campo dei Fiori, between Lake Varese and the Val Cuvia. There is a series of caves, some of them unexplored, among which the Gruta Marelli stands out, a succession of galleries and fantastic spaces that lead to small lakes that make up a wonderful scenery.

Sport is fundamental to the lives of the inhabitants of Varese, especially basketball, which made the city famous. Many other sporting activities are also practiced, such as tennis, target shooting or clay pigeon shooting.

The rivers and lakes offer canoeing, canoeing and kayaking, as well as other water sports such as sport fishing, sailing, water skiing and windsurfing. Mountain activities such as hiking, horseback riding and sport climbing, along with paragliding, hang gliding and winter sports, complement an irresistible sporting panorama for those who prefer active tourism.
