PORLEZZA - Como Area -
Lombardia - Italy
THIS AREA, AT THE SHORES OF THE LUGANO LAKE, IS QUITE PARTICULAR, SINCE IT HAS NO ROADS IN FRONT OF THE LAKE, BUT A LOVELY GROVE AND DIRECT ACCESS TO THE LAKE.
Staying here, enjoying the view of the lake, gives you an immediate holiday feeling, which is very relaxing.
The possibilities for outdoor life is countless, there is something for every taste: Golf course, mountain bike trails, nature trails, local markets, water sports, beautiful old churches and still not far from the international cities of Milan and Lugano. Btw, the nearest airports are Malpensa and Bergamo.
The local area provide classic local food, in small restaurants and cafés. As well as a weekly market if you like to cook.
Porlezza is a very local place, unspoiled you might say. Most of the the people you meet are from here, grew up here, or married into a family here, which somehow makes the vibe quite stress free and easy going. It’s a simple easy life here, and it reflects on the people.
We want to offer a charming, cosy opportunity to live near the lake in these lovely surroundings, where basic needs are met with easy well equipped and well decorated "homes-away-from-home".
Welcome to VILLETTE A LAGO
We sincerely hope you'll enjoy your stay
