NEIGHBOURHOOD
Santa Maria Rezzonico is a charming location nestled along the picturesque shores of Lake Como. This small village, which still preserves remnants of its medieval period, such as cobblestone alleyways and a 14th-century castle perched on a pebbly beach, is far from the hustle and bustle of mass tourism, making it ideal for those seeking peace and privacy. It boasts an almost enchanted landscape on the western shore of Lake Como, facing Bellagio and Varenna, two of the most renowned lakeside destinations on the opposite shore, with the Swiss Alps in the background. You will find tranquility as you stroll through the winding lanes and along the short lakeside promenade with a little harbor.
Nevertheless, Santa Maria Rezzonico is conveniently close to some of the most beautiful and famous villas on Lake Como. Just a few kilometres away, you can visit places like Villa Balbianello and Villa Carlotta. Furthermore, within a ten-minute drive, you can reach the splendid town of Menaggio, from where you can take a ferry to reach other lakeside towns. Menaggio is also known for its stunning lakeside promenade, offering breathtaking views, and outdoor enthusiasts will find a paradise here. The surrounding area offers a myriad of activities, from hiking and mountain biking in the nearby mountains to water sports like sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding on the lake.
Nature lovers will also appreciate the abundance of hiking trails leading to stunning viewpoints, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Lake Como.
GETTING AROUND
For convenience, we recommend our guests to reach the property by car. Traveling by bus is a bit less convenient for those coming from Como. There is an ASF C10 bus line that goes from Como to Menaggio, and from there, you will need to take another bus, also on the ASF C10 line, but headed to Colico. From Menaggio, which can be reached in about 10 minutes by car from Santa Maria Rezzonico, there are ferries that go to Como, Bellagio, Varenna, and other towns around the lake. Please note that during the high season, there might be long queues at the ticket counter. Tickets can also be purchased online on the Navigazione Laghi website. There is also a ferry that transports cars.
Santa Maria Rezzonico is approximately 40 kilometers from Como, and the journey takes about an hour. From Como San Giovanni train station, there are regular trains to Milan Central and Switzerland (Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno). From Como Nord Lago, there is a train connection to Milan Cadorna.
The nearest airports are Milano Malpensa, Milano Linate, and Orio Al Serio in Bergamo. It is possible to arrange a direct shuttle to and from the airport at an additional cost.
For more questions regarding transportation, please do not hesitate to contact us – we will be happy to help and ensure that you reach your preferred destination!

For those who wish to dwell in the water, however, there are some options. There is a beach (“lido”) in Menaggio.

Lido di Bellagio and pebbly San Giovanni beach will be waiting for those who wish to travel farther and explore the beautiful town of Bellagio which lies in the middle of the two Larian branches.
