Varese

Varese is a city in Lombardy in northern Italy, set among green hills at the edge of the Alps and close to the Swiss border, roughly midway between Milan and Lake Maggiore. It is known as the "Garden City" for its leafy residential districts and the nearby Sacro Monte, a UNESCO-listed hillside sanctuary, with Lake Varese and other small lakes shaping the surrounding landscape. Property here suits buyers and renters looking for a quieter, green setting within reach of major northern Italian and Swiss centres.
