The Lombardy / Lake Como Area
Lake Como with its tiny villages stacked perilously on rocky slopes overlooking the lake, Lake Como offers an incredibly and wide variety of vegetation and landscape that makes it one of the most scenic spots in all of Italy. Visitors will be happily immersed in a natural environment of great beauty and exceptional conservation.
Shoppers will love Como. Among the local specialties are exclusive Italian fashion lines, leather goods, artwork, and other fine crafts produced by local artisans.
What to do Venturing north, on the roads from Como, are the towns of Cernobbio, home to the famous Villa d’Este, a 15th-century villa built by Pellegrini Tibaldi. It’s now a prestigious hotel. Carate Urio, Moltrasio, Argegno, Torno and Lezzeno are small fishing villages that have retained their charm. Further up, we reach the heart of Como, where the Bellagio Peninsula dominates, with the promontory of Menaggio and the gorgeous Varenna.
The landscape is breathtaking. Clear blue skies and snow capped mountains make for exceptional scenery. Many of the activities are suitable in the winter months too, as long you are wrapped up. The area is also very convenient for skiing in either Italy or Switzerland.
Carate Urio area
Carate Urio is situated on the western shore of Lake Como, the commune consists of the two distinct centres of Urio and Carate Lario, which were administratively united in 1927. Urio, rich with residential villas, is situated in a beautiful panoramic position on a slope facing the lake. An impressive castle once stood here and its remains are incorporated in the eighteenth century villa which is the present headquarters of the International Centre of Studies of Opus Dei. Carate Lario, in a less panoramic position, has not been affected much by urbanisation and has a remarkable layout with old houses and stepped lanes. Both of the centres have ancient origins: Gallic tombs and the remains of Roman civilisation have been found in the area.
THINGS TO SEE Church of SS. Quirico e Giulitta Originally a Romanesque construction, the parish church dedicated to St Quirico and St Giulitta was built in 1865. The bell tower (12th century) from the original building is still standing and has two levels of mullioned windows with two lights with arches above them.
Church of S. Marta This Romanesque church, which dates back to the eleventh or twelfth centuries, has for the most part been conserved. It is in a panoramic position and has a number of very old frescoes.
