Three days on Lake Como
Karyn Farrell
Get away from the tourist hoards in Moltrasio, a small port and village on the south-west branch of Lake Como. My snapshot guide includes practical info on getting around, as well as tips on the following:
A fabulous place to stay (villa with a lake view, plus a pool...)
Things to do, boat trips, art, gardens and villas
Cheap & cheerful meals, great restaurants and the best gelato / aperitivo / coffee, plus lots more...
Places of natural beauty / viewing points
The interactive map makes it simple to plan and personalise your own route.

Details
In contrast to tourist hotspots like Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio, Moltrasio has a laid-back vibe with a distinctly local feel and dramatic Alpine location. The tranquil blue waters of the lake are surrounded on all sides by beautiful mountain scenery and abundant rich green forest.
WORTH NOTING:
As you’d expect considering the location, the paths and flights of steps can be narrow and quite steep in places and the climb from the lake back up the village can be arduous at times, especially when you add a Campari Spritz or two to the equation, but the payoff is those wonderful views and the alluring distractions along the way.
