Travelling around Lake Como is such a wonderful experience that the Lario (another name for Lake Como which comes from its ancient Latin name, Larius Lacus<\/em>) has become a dream destination, coveted by affluent international tourists. Arab, Indian, and American cultures have all strongly embraced the growing trend of weddings in picturesque locations abroad. This worldwide appeal complicates the plans of those wanting to embark on a discovery of the spectacular lakeside villas, as high season tends to attract significant crowds, just as it does in so many other globally recognised Italian locations. It is therefore advisable to pre-book access to the historical residences along our route as a precaution. The lake can be navigated by car or by crossing the lake using the efficient services offered by the local ferry operators \u2013 which provides the additional advantage of avoiding busy traffic queues, potential fines and the inevitable parking hassles.
\nHaving set the stage, it’s time to map out a route that will guide us from Lecco and uncover the many wonders of this beautiful lake, with an option to continue north and discover the surprises held in store by Valtellina, which is intrinsically linked to the Lago di Como because it is ultimately the Adda River flowing through the valley that \u2018feeds\u2019 the lake.
\nThe initial segment of the journey requires a car as you head south from Lecco to visit the area\u2019s \u2018minor lakes\u2019, as they are called. Taking a stroll along the lakeside promenade of this provincial capital serves as an excellent starting point, as it will instantly instil the relaxing tone that will define this adventure. In addition, Lecco offers many places of interest, including the museum complex of Palazzo Belgiojoso, which hosts sections on Natural History, Archaeology and History, together with the recently added Planetarium. Villa Manzoni, the childhood home and summer residence of the author of \u2018I Promessi Sposi\u2019<\/em> (\u2018The Betrothed\u2019), is also well worth visiting. It was in this place that Alessandro Manzoni developed a deeper understanding of \u2018that branch of Lake Como\u2026\u2019, to quote the famous opening line of the novel. For lunch, we recommend the Pontile Orestino located on the Lungolario for those who appreciate traditional cuisine, while Nicolin offers a more gourmet menu. Noteworthy patisseries include Pontiggia in Piazza Cermenati and ArteSapori (run by father and son master pastry chefs, the Valsecchis) on Via Nazario Sauro. After departing from Lecco, head to Calolziocorte to visit the first historic site: the Castello di Rossino<\/strong><\/a> has similarly been immortalised by Manzoni, as this the residence he chose for the infamous character Innominato in his novel. The castle is open for visits by prior reservation and can also host wine tasting events. It is frequently used as a venue for ceremonies and private events and even has a suite within the tower. Nearby, you can explore the Monastery of Lavello and the well-known \u2018Leonardesque\u2019 ferry in Imbersago which is attributed to a design by Leonardo da Vinci.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
