The villa is located in Canzo, a welcoming village situated between the two branches of Lake Como – both Como and Lecco can be reached in about half an hour by car. Canzo is an excellent starting point for exploring the area between the two branches of Lake Como and for going on excursions. Walking enthusiasts, for instance, can hike the trails towards the mountain group of the Corni di Canzo, Mount Cornizzolo, or the Gajum Spring - renowned for its healing waters. Furthermore, within approximately half an hour by car, you can reach the famous town of Bellagio.

GETTING AROUND

There is a bus service that connects Canzo to Como (line C49) and a bus service that connects Canzo to Bellagio (line C36). Please note that the bus schedules are not frequent and end around ten o'clock in the evening. Taxi services are also available but not easily found in the area. We recommend guests to reach the villa by car.

From the San Giovanni train station in Como, you can regularly reach Milan Central Station and Switzerland (Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno), while from Como Nord Lago station, you can reach Milan Cadorna train station. There are also public ferries that connect other towns along the lakeshore from the Como city center dock.

From Bellagio, you can take a ferry to Menaggio, Cadenabbia, and Varenna.

The closest airports are Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, and Orio Al Serio in Bergamo. You can easily arrange a shuttle service to and from the airports at an additional cost. For further inquiries about transportation and transfers, do not hesitate to contact us; we will be happy to assist you!

TIPS

>We advise you to take a day to visit the marvellous little towns around the lake. Como city is the urban centre of the area, but the little towns are gems with glorious lakeside villas.

>To travel and walk around Lake Como, especially in the little towns, comfortable shoes are a must.

>There are many public drinking-water fountains in the area, and the water is safe to drink unless stated otherwise. Tap water is also drinkable. You can carry your own refillable bottle!

>Look for traditional restaurants where you can try local foods such as Lake Como fish dishes.

>In Italy, many shops (especially the little ones) and services are closed in the middle of the day, so be careful to 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. However, for those who wish to take a dip in the water, there are some options. In Blevio, there is a small beach for bathing and wakeboarding, which is a 15-minute walk from the property. In Como, there is an outdoor pool near Villa Olmo, but swimming in the lake is not advisable and mostly prohibited. There are beaches in other towns along the lakeshore.Lido di Bellagio and pebbly San Giovanni beach will be waiting for those who wish to travel and explore the beautiful town of Bellagio which lies in the middle of the two Larian branches. Locals and visitors also enjoy travelling to Nesso where the bravest swimmers can jump into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.

>Lake Como is located in a mountainous region. The surrounding pre-Alps might not seem very high, but the climate is nevertheless affected by the nearby mountains, and temperatures can change quickly. Be particularly attentive to the weather when hiking, and bring some warm and waterproof clothes with you!
