NEIGHBORHOOD

My Sweet Garden is in Cassina Rizzardi, a small and peaceful village located to the south of Como. The village of Cassina Rizzardi is crossed by the Lura river, which gives its name to a vast park - “Parco del Lura”, where outdoor enthusiasts can choose from several trails to explore in the midst of greenery. The village is approximately a 30-minute drive from Como, which serves as a great starting point for exploring the area. For instance, you can visit the renowned hillside town of Brunate with its Liberty-style villas, explore the historic centre of Como, and take a ferry from Como to discover other famous lakeside destinations.





GETTING AROUND

Being close to the highway exit, the property is extremely convenient for those arriving by car. The nearest train station is located in Fino Mornasco, a town that is only a 5-minute drive from Cassina Rizzardi. From Fino Mornasco train station, you can reach Como by train in approximately 15 minutes. Como is also accessible by bus in about half an hour - look for the ASF C62 line. From Como San Giovanni train station, there are regular trains to Milan and Switzerland (Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno), while from Como Lago train station, you can reach Milan Cadorna train station.

Taxi services are also available but may not always be easily found in the area.

From the Como pier, ferries depart to Cernobbio, Torno, Bellagio, Varenna, Colico, and other lakeside locations. Please note - if traveling in high season, we advise you to be patient with long waiting lines at the ticket office. Tickets can also be bought online on the Navigazione Laghi website.

TIPS

>We advise you to take a day to visit the marvelous little towns around the lake. Como city is the urban center of the area, but the little towns are gems with glorious lakeside villas.

>To travel and walk around Lake Como, especially in the little towns, comfortable shoes are a must.

>There are many public drinking-water fountains in the area, and the water is safe to drink unless stated otherwise. Tap water is also drinkable. You can carry your own refillable bottle!

>If you are looking for a relatively easy hike in the area and want to enjoy mountain views anyway, Lake Como Greenway is a wonderful, easy-to-follow trail that connects the lakeside towns from Colonno to Griante and doesn't require too much walking uphill. A bus can take you from Como to the starting point in Colonno.

>Look for traditional restaurants where you can try local foods such as Lake Como fish dishes.

>In Italy, many shops (especially the little ones) and services are closed in the middle of the day, so be careful 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 wish to dwell in the water, however, there are some options. In Como city, there is an outdoor pool near Villa Olmo, but generally swimming in the lake is prohibited in many areas. There are beaches in other lakeside towns.

Lido di Bellagio and pebbly San Giovanni beach will be waiting for those who wish to travel and explore the beautiful town of Bellagio which lies in the middle of the two Larian branches. Locals and visitors also enjoy traveling to Nesso where the bravest swimmers can jump into the lake from the ancient Roman bridge near the waterfall.

>Lake Como is located in a mountainous region. The surrounding pre-Alps might not seem very high, but the climate is nevertheless affected by the nearby mountains, and temperatures can change quickly. Be particularly attentive to the weather when hiking, and bring some warm and waterproof clothes with you!
