The Lombardy / Lake Como Area region

Lake Como has been famous and popular for centuries, due to its unrivaled beauty. It is still popular today for many more reasons: It is within striking distance of many interesting places - Milan, Monza, St Moritz and Lugano, to name just a few. It offers something for every type of holidaymaker from the sporty to chill-out to culture-vulture with water sports, golf, horse-riding, stunning villas and historic churches, shopping to die for (ask for our designer outlet guide), wine tastings, gourmet restaurants and some of the best pizzas you will ever taste at only €4 for a pizza margherita, you can't go wrong! It is also home to the island of Comacina and one of the most famous restaurants on the Lake, visited by everyone from Eisenhower to Clooney.

The Argegno area

Argegno, 20km from Como

A popular destination for tourists, Argegno is situated in a large inlet on the western shore of Lake Como at the mouth of the Val d’Intelvi. It has a pleasant climate and is mild even in the winter months. With its’ beautiful panoramic location, one can see from the headland of Bellagio to the north and as far as Nesso towards the south.

Argegno offers a surprising amount of facilities for a quaint lakeside fishing village – 5 good restaurants/pizzerias, 2 excellent wine bars (Enoteca and Bar Colombo), serving free snacks at aperitivo time every day. There are 2 banks with cash points and a small store. And you won’t be able to resist Andrea’s home-made ice creams (made with whatever is available fresh that day, including cucumber!). The scent of the bakery will draw you up the narrow alleyways to find fresh brioche (croissants) and bread, baked daily on the premises by Louisa. Buy fresh vegetables from Mario and ask him for one of his superb recipes – always served with smile and he speaks excellent English. If that wasn’t enough, the village also now boasts a beautician and 2 hairdressers!

Argegno is also within striking distance of all Lake Como’s treasures, as it is a main bus and ferry stop-off point for the rest of the lake. Villa Balbianello (Star Wars & James Bond) is just around the corner, Villa Carlotta a short ferry ride away, as are Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna – get a centre lake ticket and visit all three in one day. The village is certainly of Roman origin, as it owes its’ name to the consul Publio Cesio Archigene. At one time Argegno was part of a defensive system, which extended as far as the ancient villa of Lenno and the Isola Comacina to obstruct the passage of invaders. The village is certainly of Roman origin, as it owes its’ name to the consul Publio Cesio Archigene.

At one time Argegno was part of a defensive system, which extended as far as Lenno and the Isola Comacina to obstruct the passage of invaders. The ancient centre of the village is very picturesque. It is crossed by the Telo stream and is divided into two parts, which are joined by an old stone bridge with a lancet arch.

It is possible to take a cable car up to Pigra (881 m), which is situated on a plateau with a beautiful view of the lake. From here it is possible to go on to the Valle della Camoggia, which is in the oasis of Argegno-Cima della Duaria, a conservation area. The road which runs along Val d’Intelvi also starts from Argegno and about 15 km along it one comes to Lanzo.

Things to see

The Sanctuary of Sant’Anna
This was built in the seventeenth century but it was subsequently renovated. Inside one can find stuccowork and frescoes from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

The Oratory of San Rocco in Pigra
Built in the fifteenth century, it contains frescoes from 1662 signed by S. Pozzi.

“Wonderful stay in Argegno at Lake Como” We stayed one week in this fantastic villa above the pictures town Argegno. It was to cold to use the pool, but in summer it must be very nice to have a swim and at the same time viewing beautiful Lake Como. The house is nicely furnished and you have the nice view from both living room and bedroom. The master bathroom was fantastic with a large bath. Only minus is the steep road up to the house, but you get use to it. We were happy that we were driving our 4W car. Make sure you visit Villa D´Este for a lunch or dinner at La Veranda, and have a walk in their park. Such a nice place. Can also recommend to visit Bellagio, Lenno, Mennagio, Tremozza, Como and of course Argegno

Bevand Johnny could not be more helpful, excellent service and very friendly.

“At home in the hills above Argegno” The villa is high above the town on a very steep hill just outside of Argegno. It takes 20 minutes to walk down to Argegno and a half hour to walk up. The walks are challenging but there is a foot... more Response: I am glad that you enjoyed your stay and agree entirely with your comments about a car being important. Which is why we stress this in our descriptions and point out the steepness of the roads. There... more

“Lovely luxury villa with pool and incredible views!” Villa Lilla is a gorgeous large villa situated above the pretty village of Argegno on Lake Como. It is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The owners couldn't be nicer and are wonderfully accommodating. Perfect for a large family or couples travelling together. Strongly advise a car since the Villa is a fairly steep walk from Argegno which is a hub of ferry and bus transportation . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

“Stunning location, amazing lake views, the perfect villa” it was a truly fantastic experience. The views were truly amazingly panoramic and the pool just seemed to merge into the lake below. The accommodation was perfect - with everything we could possibly need for a restful holiday. The place was so peaceful - with 180 degree lake views AND mountain views to die for! It was so good, we hardly ever left the poolside! The owners had thought of everything - BBQ, pool towels, plenty of sunbeds, umbrellas and the place was so well kitted out - very interior-designy, but cosy at the same time.
