STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

SURROUNDINGS
The apartment is located in the upper part of the city of Como, offering a view of the lake. The bus stop is near the property, and the center of Como can be reached within a few minutes on foot. A short walk down the hill and you’ll be at the lakeside promenade, where you’ll find the funicular station to Brunate, as well as bars and restaurants.
GETTING AROUND
The city of Como and the surrounding areas are served by ASF bus services; tickets can be purchased on the bus (cash only) or from authorized points (the bus station in Piazza Matteotti in Como, bars, and tobacco shops). Taxi services are also available.
From the pier, ferries reach Cernobbio, Torno, Bellagio, Varenna, Colico, and other lakeside locations. Please note that during peak season, there may be long queues at the ticket office before boarding. Tickets can also be purchased online via the “Navigazione Laghi” website.
From the San Giovanni train station in Como, you can regularly reach Milan Central Station and Switzerland (Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno), while from the Como Nord Lago station, you can reach Milan Cadorna Station.
The nearest airports are Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, and Orio al Serio in Bergamo. A shuttle service to and from the airports can easily be arranged at an additional cost. For further questions regarding transportation and transfers, don’t hesitate to contact us — we’ll be happy to assist!
TIPS
We recommend dedicating a day to visiting the wonderful towns around the lake. Como is the main urban center, but the towns are gems with stunning lakeside villas.
To get around and stroll by Lake Como, especially in the small towns, comfortable shoes are essential.
There are many public drinking fountains in the area, and the water is safe to drink unless otherwise indicated. Tap water is also potable. Bring your refillable bottle!
If you're looking for a relatively easy hike with beautiful views of the mountains, the Greenway del Lago di Como is a well-marked trail connecting lakeside towns from Colonno to Griante, without too many steep climbs. A bus can take you to the starting point in Colonno.
Look for traditional restaurants to sample local dishes, especially those featuring fish from Lake Como.
In Italy, many small shops and services close in the middle of the day, so plan your shopping accordingly.
Lake Como is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the deepest in Italy. Swimming and diving are prohibited in many areas and can be dangerous. For those who wish to swim, there are some options. In Como, there's an outdoor pool near Villa Olmo, but swimming in the lake is not recommended and is mostly prohibited. There are beaches in other lakeside locations, including a small beach in Careno, which may be crowded on weekends. Locals and visitors also love Nesso, where adventurous swimmers can dive into the lake from an ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.
The Lido di Bellagio and the pebbly beach of San Giovanni await those who want to travel and explore the beautiful town of Bellagio, located at the center of the two lake branches.
Lake Como is in a mountainous region. The surrounding Pre-Alps may not seem very high, but the climate is influenced by the nearby mountains, and temperatures can change quickly. Pay close attention to weather conditions during hikes, and bring warm and waterproof clothing!
EXPERIENCES
There are plenty of amazing activities to do around Lake Como! We can suggest and help organize the following:
Private boat trips
Kayak/SUP on the lake
Seaplane flights over the lake
Yoga and meditation classes
Wine tastings
Cooking classes
Hiking and foraging
Mountain biking excursions
Mountain trekking
Guided tours of Milan
For more information, contact us and we’ll be happy to recommend the best experiences suited to your tastes!
