The Lombardy / Lake Como Area
Lake Como is the most romantic and scenic lake to the south of the Alps. The lake is very popular not only for it's beauty and temperate climate but also for it's relaxed approach to life. For this reason many celebrities, including film stars (George Clooney) and designers, have fallen in love with the area and have villas here where they can escape to.
Moltrasio is situated within the first basin of Lake Como making it only 50 minutes drive from Malpensa airport and an ideal base for many day trips:
- Take a boat trip and visit the picturesque villages of Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna with their villas, gardens and beautiful scenery;
- Enjoy the historical city of Como (10 mins) with it’s elegant boutiques and lake-front bars and restaurants. There is also an open street market 3 times a week and the most amazing indoor fresh fruit and vegetable market.
- Visit Milan (1 hr) with its designer shops, museums and historical monuments and walk on the roof of the Duomo (cathedral) to see it all from above.
- Go across the border to Switzerland (10mins) to get some great deals at the Fox Town designer outlet (30mins), visit nearby Lake Lugano and the chocolate factory is great for children.
There are many invigorating scenic mountain walks as well as easy-going strolls but if you just want to sit back and relax by the lake there are several lidos and shingle beaches nearby. During the summer there are various open-air concerts in Como and Cernobbio as well as lake-side village festivals where it is possible to enjoy typical local food and traditions.
Moltrasio area
Moltrasio is a characteristic and tranquil little village on the western shore of Lake Como. It has some very exclusive villas owned by wealthy industrialists and designers but at the same time has retained a quiet and friendly community.
The natural surroundings are splendid and there are various walks leading directly from the house that enjoy breath-taking lake views. The famous Italian composer, Vincenzo Bellini, was so inspired by the waterfall that cascades down the centre of the village, that he wrote an opera - 'La Sonnambola'.
The village has several shops including various mini-markets (fresh bread and pasta) and a salumeria (fresh local meats and traditional hams), a chemist, news agent and post office and quiet a few steps if you decide to walk!! There is a big supermarket and shopping mall in nearby Cernobbio (10min).
There are many excellent cafes, bars, restaurants and pizzerias both in Moltrasio and in nearby Cernobbio that cater for all tastes and budgets.
