The Lombardy / Lake Como Area region

Lake Como - The perfect choice.

Truly beautiful ! Those words do not do this part of Italy justice. This jewel in the crown of Italy’s famous lakes is a haven of tranquility, superb cuisine, majestic snow capped mountains, courteous folk and style. In his ‘Charterhouse of Parma’ Stendhal described it as an "enchanting spot, unequalled on earth in its loveliness." Virgil called it simply "our greatest" lake.

Como is in Lombardy, 45km North of Milan and in the Province of Como. Como is at the tip of the southwestern branch of this lake. Como is only a few miles from the Swiss border and 20 minutes from Lugano.

Lake Como is 50 km long and west of Menaggio is where the lake splits in two. The mountains around the lake are 2000 m high and the lake up to 1350 feet deep, making it one of the deepest lakes in Europe.

When visiting Como, there are places to see and things to do. Like most Italian towns off the beaten track, these are not always obvious. The locals know where to go, but do not make it too obvious to strangers. Although when you arrive you are always welcome. Stunning panoramic views from Como at the head of the lake.

Como is situated at the head of the lake and is an ancient town over 400 years old with magnificent churches and historic monuments. Lake Como is however renowned for its exquisite villas, and probably the most famous one is Villa Carlotta, a combination of luxurious interiors and art collections. The grounds have exotic and lush plant growth (over 500 species of plants, trees and shrubs from all over the world). The old town is still to this day protected by high walls, but is populated by small and interesting local and designer shops. Strolling through these streets on a Saturday afternoon is part of the local culture. Grab a latte at one of the many street cafes and watch the elegant procession of young and old alike in all their finery.

Being at the head of the lake, Como looks down the lake toward Cernobbio on the left, home to one the word’s finest hotels; The Villa D’Este” where many celebrities may be found taking a quiet break. Now that George Clooney has bought property near here, we imagine there will be a lot more.

The Musso area

The village is situated in a small inlet, at the foot of a rocky spur called thc Sasso di Musso. It was already noted in Roman times because of its quarries of white marble, which were mined until just a few decades ago.
This marble was used to build the columns of San Lorenzo in Milan and the Cathedral of Como.

In 1.406 it was an important feud of the Malacrida family and was part of the duchy of Milan. In 1.508 it was ceded to Gian Giacomo Trivulzio, who fortified thc rock. He had th right to con money there and built a new castle.

ln 1.522 it was taken ovcr forcefully by Medeghino, the brothcr of Pius IV, who controllcd most of the lake area for a decade. After a long size he was driven away bv the forces of Francesco II Sforza, who was allied with the Tre Leghe Grige.

For spite the castle was livelled to the ground. The village was subsequently under the Bossi family.
It is worth noting that in the last century on the rocks under Santa Eufemia, the nobleman Giuseppe Manzi succeeded to carve out a garden of exotic plants, small bridges and a play of water called "il giardino del merlo" (the little garden of the blackbird).

We can provide a list of local activities.

Guestbook for Dolce Fulvia

Sharon and I really enjoyed Dolce Fulvia. The flat was very nice and the view beautiful. We really enjoyed La Baia(?) in La Cremia. Great food; large portions; easy parking; good value for the money.
The various villas we visited – Metzli in Bellagio, Carlotta in Tremezzo, and Balbaniello in Lenno, were wonderful. Overall, your instructions and emails were very clear and helpful, and we appreciated having an inclusive price with no additional fees. We would certainly rent from you again.
