For the convenience of guests, we recommend arriving by car.
Travel to and from Cernobbio is also quite manageable with public transportation. Numerous bus lines connect to the city of Como and other lakeside towns.

If you feel like walking, the center of Como is within walking distance. The walk takes less than an hour. Take the main road to Villa Olmo, then there is a pedestrian path along the lake.
To travel and walk around Lake Como, especially in the small towns, it is necessary to wear comfortable shoes.
There are many public fountains in the towns and the water is drinkable unless otherwise indicated. Tap water is also drinkable. You can bring your refillable bottle with you!
From Cernobbio, there are many hiking opportunities in the nearby woods, up to Monte Bisbino.
If you are looking for an easy hike in the area and still want to enjoy the mountain views, the Greenway del Lago di Como is an easy-to-follow path that does not require too much climbing. The Greenway passes through the towns from Colonno to Griante. From Cernobbio, you can reach the starting point in Colonno by bus. Another pleasant and relaxing hiking trail in the area is the Via Verde, which connects Moltrasio to Laglio.
In Italy, many shops (especially small ones) and services close at midday, so be sure 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 want to take a dip in the water, however, there are some options. In Cernobbio, the lake's Lido has a swimming pool. In nearby Moltrasio, there is a small beach. In the city of Como, there is an outdoor swimming pool near Villa Olmo, but swimming in the lake is mostly discouraged or prohibited. Locals and visitors also love to go to Nesso, where the more adventurous can dive into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.
Lake Como is located in a mountainous region. The surrounding pre-Alps may not seem very high, but the climate is still influenced by the nearby mountains and temperatures can change quickly. Pay particular attention to weather conditions during hikes and bring warm and waterproof clothing!
