Description

Cernobbio is another beautiful town with a different feel. It is the third largest, after Como and Lecco. The oldest part of town is stretched out along the lake. You'll walk past lots of elegant shops, restaurants and the ancient church, and eventually you'll come to the gorgeous Villa d'Este, a 17th-century cardinal's palace that is now one of the world's most luxurious hotels, whose rooms are like museum galleries. A few minutes away is Toriggia, where you can visit Villa Passalacqua, a late 18th-century home where Vincenzo Bellini once stayed.
It is surrounded by beautiful Italian gardens and the inside is like a museum with art work everywhere, you can't miss it from the steamers, especially if you look for its second swimming pool, which floats right on the lake. The piazza where you catch the steamer is a great place to sit and relax, have an ice cream, or visit with the locals.

Transport

By Train
Como is on Italy's main railway network, and trains run from Milan to Como frequently, taking around 40 minutes. They depart from Milan's Stazione Centrale and Stazione Porta Garibaldi, and arrive at San Giovanni, Como's main station.

Steamers, boats and buses serve all the main towns on Lake Como. A frequent boat service connects the central resorts, Lenno, Tremezzo, Villa Carlotta, Cadenabbia, Menaggio, Bellagio and Varenna, including a car ferry. A less frequent but faster boat travels the full length of the lake from Como (with stops at most of the above). Buses run approximately hourly all the way up the west coast from Como round to Colico at the north-east.
