🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Milan Centrale → Cà Mia, Perledo
💡 Take the Regionale Veloce (RV) to Varenna-Esino station (€12.50 one-way). From there, catch the D20 or D25 bus up to Perledo—runs roughly every 2 hours, so check the timetable at the station. The walk from the station up to the hotel is punishing (steep, 1.5 km uphill), so avoid it with luggage.
Milan Malpensa (MXP) → Cà Mia, Perledo
💡 Book a private transfer with a local driver (try NCC Lecco or Autonoleggio Lario) to avoid taxi queues at the airport. Confirm the fare in advance—€220 is typical but can spike in peak season. Drivers often know the tight roads up to Perledo.
Varenna-Esino train station → Cà Mia, Perledo
💡 Save this as a backup if you miss the bus. Taxis wait at the station but aren't always prominent—call one ahead on +39 0341 830390 (Taxi Varenna). Pay cash; card machines often fail in the car.
Sondrio → Perledo, Piazza Martiri
💡 Useful if you're coming from the Valtellina valley (e.g., after a hike). Bus stop is 15 minutes' walk from Cà Mia—downhill but you'll need to go back up. Don't rely on it for late arrivals; last bus leaves Sondrio around 18:30.
