Varese, central location, spacious two-bedroom apartment with garage

La city of Varese lies on the shores of the lake of the same name. It is called the Garden City thanks to the many splendid private and public gardens within the municipality. Varese is in a distinctive position, at the foot of the Sacred Mount of Varese, which is part of the Campo dei Fiori Massif and is home to an astronomical observatory. Varese rests on seven hills: San Pedrino Hill (402 m), Giubiano Hill (407 m), Campigli Hill (453 m), Sant'Albino Hill (406 m), Biumo Superiore Hill (439 m), Montalbano Hill (411 m) and Miogni Hill (492 m). The municipality’s territory therefore ranges between 238 and 1,150 meters above sea level. Winter in Varese is only slightly affected by the moderating influence of Lake Maggiore and the other smaller lakes in the province. Late-autumn and winter minimum temperatures frequently drop, though only by a few degrees, below zero. It is precisely the low nighttime temperatures that create a climate different from the areas south of this city. As in other Lombard pre-Alpine cities, fog is an infrequent phenomenon. Since 1960, it has hosted the only Italian campus of the European School created for the children of European officials at the Joint Research Centre. Milan Malpensa and Lugano-Agno airports are about 30 minutes away. The shores of Lake Maggiore can be reached in a 20-minute drive.
