The Lombardy / Lake Como Area
With its sumptuous waterfront villas and dramatic peaks, the splendor of the Italian Lake District is legendary. Writers from Virgil to Hemingway have flocked to Lake Como, inspired by its tranquil waters and surrounding snow-capped mountains. With charming villages of Mennagio , Bellagio ,And Varenna located on the shores of Lake Como,you can acquaint yourself with the towns, its people, and their local customs. From here, cruise to gem-like islands, venture into medieval churches and Roman ruins, and enjoy a lesson in Italian cooking. Savor the everyday joys of la dolce vita in one of Italy’s most exquisite and exclusive spots.
Como has attracted visitors since at least Roman times when the lake was called Lario. Dotted with villas, gardens, much of it remains the tranquil romantic setting that has inspired countless artists, good and bad, but also partially has become the weekend playground for nearby Milan, which is only 25 km away from the southern end of the lake. The lake is shaped like wishbone, with two thin legs extending about 50 km from end to end. It is less than 4.5 km at its widest point, but it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe, reaching a depth of over 1,300 feet at its deepest point. The eastern leg is often called Lago di Lecco. Interesting, the wind blows from the south from noon to sunset, and from the north during the night. Along the shores of Lake Como are the charming towns of Tremezzo, Bellagio, Menaggio, Cernobbio, and Varenna. With the exception of Varenna, the eastern shore of Lake Como including Lecco, accommodations are much rarer and the towns are more rustic. In addition to enjoying the incredible natural beauty along the lake and relaxation, there is also golf, sailing, boating, rowing, canoeing, water skiing, hiking and horse-riding. P.s. dont forget George
A selection of beaches are within a 3 min drive. A beautiful pool in Menaggio has just opened with a bar and restaurant. It is located lakeside and beside a children's park with playground and mini golf course.
San Siro area
We are located about a 3 mins drive away from the village centre with shops bars and restaurants and a number of other shops i.e, green grocer’s, florist etc. There is a small shop about a 5 min walk from the apartment that can cater for all your basic needs (milk, bread, water etc.)San Siro has a lovely shingle beach and there are a number of other beaches a short distance from San Siro. There are numerous small bars in the village and a fantastic selection of restaurants and snack bars and in the surrounding areas (Zanzibar or Luigi’s are our favourites with great value in a beautiful rustic Italian setting). Cremia is a neighboring village to the north and has a fantastic beach with beach bar restaurant. Also here there is a formal restaurant specializing in local cuisine and fish dishes from the lake. This is well worth a visit and is always full of locals who seem to regard it highly too. Cremia beach is a hotspot for water sports with wind surfing and kite boarding being the favourites. You can spend hours just watching the skill of the boarders.
