Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

a quite Italian village, 15 minutes from Argengo and Lake Como, less time down to Lake Lugano and set near the Swiss border in Northern Italy.

Lanzo, the main centre of the D’Intelvi valley region, is in the very north of Lombardy – 20 minutes from Argengo on Lake Como and 10 minutes from Lake Lugano in Switzerland. From the end of the nineteenth century, the centre became a much appreciated residential area and numerous splendid villas were built. Lanzo is a well known winter tourist resort, provided with climbing facilities and skiing tracks; it is also a point of departure for climbing routes on the neighbouring mountains. In the summer the Milanese holiday in Lanzo, and the town centre is a buzz with activity: stalls, festivals and the local people just drinking coffee or sharing a glass of wine together. Read more…
