Pianello del Lario

Pianello del Lario is one of the most authentic villages on the western shore of Lake Como. Far from mass tourism, this small settlement preserves the unspoilt charm of an ancient fishing village, with cobbled alleyways and colourful houses overlooking the water.

Not to be missed is the Museo della Barca Lariana, a one-of-a-kind museum housing an extraordinary collection of traditional lake boats. The church of Sant'Andrea presides over the village with elegant simplicity, while terraced hillsides planted with olive trees and vineyards offer breathtaking views.

The village is the perfect starting point for hiking trails along the mountain paths and boat trips towards Dongo, Gravedona and Domaso. A haven of peace and authenticity at the heart of Lake Lario, ideal for those seeking a genuine getaway off the beaten track.
