What's nearby: 

By staying at LA MANSARDINA DI GIULY you are a 5-minute walk from the historic center of Como, where you can stroll through its cobblestone streets, stores, bars and restaurants, churches and pretty squares. In 10 minutes you can reach: the famous Piazza Duomo, with its marvelous cathedral (of which you have a splendid glimpse from the apartment) and its Broletto, both worth a visit; Piazza San Fedele, a lovely little square with the Romanesque-style basilica of the same name; Via Vittorio Emanuele, the most renowned shopping street; Piazza Volta, very lively for aperitifs and after-dinner al fresco dining all year round; and Porta Torre, one of the historic entrances to the walled city.

Less than a 15-minute walk takes you to Piazza Cavour, the largest square in Como, in front of which you can take the Navigazione Lago di Como boat and reach the most famous resorts on the lake (Cernobbio, Blevio, Torno, Laglio, Argegno, Menaggio, Bellagio, Varenna).

On foot, or by renting city bikes, you can reach Villa Olmo and its park by taking the picturesque walk from the Hangar, and Villa Geno by riding along the lakefront Viale Geno. At the beginning of Viale Geno is also the Funicular railway station to reach Brunate and its lighthouse, where you can stop for lunch at one of the many restaurants, or continue with a scenic trek to the Lario mountains, with a break at one of the mountain lodges you'll encounter along the way. For trekking lovers, the “Alda Merini” path, which is a part of the Lake Como Poetry Way, starts from “Via Tommaso Grossi” and leads in an hour of intense but scenic ascent to Brunate, passing also by the picturesque Hermitage of San Donato.
