Location
The apartment is in a quiet location, surrounded by nature, just 300m from the lake shore, as the crow flies. Although it is in unspoiled countryside it is close to many of the attractions around the lake. The charming town of Bellano (10 minutes) has many different shops and amenities, as well as a weekly market (Thursday mornings) which is the best place to pick up local ingredients. It has lovely beaches for lake swimming and many restaurants or bars to suit all budgets.
Colico (20 minutes) is a popular destination for sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing. Active visitors can also enjoy stunning hikes and mountain bike trails through the beautiful landscapes surrounding the lake. For children, there is also the Acquapark Dervio (15 minutes) which is an adventure playground on the water.
Varenna (20 minutes), with its Medieval castle and elegant villas, is a lovely place to spend the day. It is also a busy ferry port and the best option for guests who want to explore Lake Como and the towns of Bellaggio and Menaggio.
Milan’s international Linate airport is a 1 hour 10-minute drive from the apartment and Milan Malpensa airport is 1 hour and 20 minutes away.
