NEIGHBORHOOD

Argegno is a picturesque village located on the shores of Lake Como, known for its charming inlets and stunning views of the lake. The village is divided by the Telo River, which is connected by an ancient stone bridge. From Argegno, you can take a cable car to the nearby village of Pigra, where you\'ll have a beautiful panoramic view of the lake. The Sanctuary of Sant\'Anna is also a short distance away from the village.

In Argegno, you\'ll find plenty of activities to enjoy, such as boat rentals, bike rentals, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The village also has a number of high-end restaurants for a special dinner and lively bars, which often feature live music in the summertime. There is also a pharmacy and two small supermarkets for your convenience.



GETTING AROUND

For the guests\' convenience, we suggest arriving by car. The private parking makes travelling by car easier.

From the pier in Argegno, a local ferry service will take you to Como and other lakeside towns. Please note – if travelling in high season, we advise you to be patient with long waiting lines at the ticket office (especially in Como city). Tickets can also be bought online on the Navigazione Laghi website.

Unfortunately, most public transportation services stop before 10 pm, and the boats even earlier. Taxis are also available, but not easily attainable in the region.

From Como San Giovanni station, there are regular trains departing to Milano Centrale and Switzerland (Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno). From Como Nord Lago, there is a train connection to Milano 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!



TIPS

>We advise you to take a day to visit the marvellous little towns around the lake. Como city is the urban centre of the area, but the little towns are gems with glorious lakeside villas.

>To travel and walk around Lake Como, especially in the little towns, comfortable shoes are a must.

>There are many public drinking-water fountains in the area, and the water is safe to drink unless stated otherwise. Tap water is also drinkable. You can carry your own refillable bottle!

>If you are looking for a relatively easy hike in the area and want to enjoy mountain views anyway, Lake Como Greenway is an easy-to-follow trail that connects the lakeside towns from Colonno to Griante and doesn\'t require too much walking uphill. A bus will take you to the starting point in Colonno.

>Take the cable car to Pigra. From the village, there are numerous hiking trails, ranging from easy to challenging.

>Look for traditional restaurants where you can try local foods such as Lake Como fish dishes.

>In Italy, many shops (especially the little ones) and services are closed in the middle of the day, so be careful to plan your shopping accordingly.

>Lake Como is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the deepest in Italy. Swimming and diving are prohibited in many areas and can be dangerous. For those who wish to dwell in the water, however, there are some options. Look for Lido di Argegno. There are also beaches in other towns. Lido di Bellagio and pebbly San Giovanni beach will be waiting for those who wish to travel and explore the beautiful town of Bellagio which lies in the middle of the two Larian branches. Locals and visitors also enjoy travelling to Nesso where the bravest swimmers can jump into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.

>Lake Como is located in a mountainous region. The surrounding pre-Alps might not seem very high, but the climate is nevertheless affected by the nearby mountains, and temperatures can change quickly. Be particularly attentive to the weather when hiking, and bring some warm and waterproof clothes with you!
