The Lombardy / Lake Como Area region


Lombardy with its capital Milan offers a variety of landscapes, the lakes are known most , between Milan and the lakes there are some very pretty hilly areas which most tourists don't know and worthwhile. Lake Como is the nearest to Milan ( 40 km) and it situated at 2 km from the border with Switzerland . On the shores near Como-city you will see wonderful large villas with lush gardens, some of them are still private others can be visited . Wealthy people from Milan built in early 18th century there summer houses to get away from the heat and humidity of Milan .
lake Como is 50 km long and at Bellagio it splits up in two branches and becomes wider, it can be quite windy here and is therefore a paradise for windsurfers and sailing boats . Championships are held all during the summer , Menaggio, Dongo, Gravedona, Colico are lifely small villages with entertainment also for the very young.
Lake Como is also a lovely place to "leisure around" : charming town squares with coffe shops and ice cream parlours , boats criss-crossing the lake , nearly every village has its weekly market, for "that " bargain , easy walks in the surrounding hills and mountains, golf in Menaggio, etc.
The Alps are nearby, St.Moritz, Madesimo, Splugen pass : wonderful landscapes, refreshing high mountain air.
Venice, Bergamo , Milan excellent for a day trip.
The Carate Urio area
Carate Urio is a small village on lake Como shore at 9 km from Como-city, 4 km from Swiss border and 60 km from Milan. It has a pharmacy, post office, small supermarket, coffee bar and a few restaurants all at walking distance. There is a regular bus service with Como and lake upwards ( Argegno, Menaggio etc) and it has a boat stop connecting the village with Como and other villages such as Bellagio, Menaggio, Varenna, Lenno etc.
Carate is built against rather steep slopes and it is worth to visit the heart of the village with its narrow lanes, (mostly footpaths ) you can walk on a very beautiful easygoing footpath to Moltrasio, Cernobbio and Laglio. or all the way up to the top of the mountains, surely rewarding but quite steep.
There are no " beaches" in Carate Urio but only a few grassy or rocky strips where people sunbath and jump into the lake
Although Carate offers a few concerts in summer , for more entertainment you depend on Cernobbio or Como.

The apartment was great, very clean, lovely bedding and linen. The views were stunning and we had a lovely stay. We were there for two weeks. No shop near-by and the one that was was never open, so bit of a shame. Great restaurant at the foot of the steps by the lake side. A great romantic get-away. Great low cost as well. Boat stop a stone throw away. Overall a very good stay. Thanks Louise! |
