If your estate agent speaks English ask them , they may know of local people who speak some English.  I did a crash course in Italian and that along with the use of translating program's I manage to get most things done.  I found everyone very patience with me as they appreciated that I was trying to learn the language.  Good luck !

Hello J Vallarino,I have just joined the site, and I noticed your message from almost a year ago.I am sure that you managed things more or less OK.I am a British Architect, based in Milan, but I am often up and around Lake Como for work. Let me know how you got on.Well done for choosing Varenna, I really like it too. 

Hello J Vallarino,I would love to know if there is an english speaking community in or around Varenna or anywhere on Lake Como. Do you know of othere english speakers near you?Best regards,
