Lenno

Lake air blows through gentle gardens and a villa's grounds

Situated on the western shore of Lake Como, Lenno is a picturesque Italian hamlet celebrated for its serene beauty and historic charm.

The town is particularly famous for Villa Balbianello. This exquisite Italian townhouse was converted from a Franciscan monastery during the 18th century. You’ll see it perched on a promontory with stunning views over the lake.

The villa is known for its terraced gardens and elegant architecture as well as being featured in films. You might recognise it from series such as James Bond and Star Wars. You can visit the villa itself or choose to simply wander around the gardens, but make sure to pre-book your tickets.

The village of Lenno itself is a tranquil spot to explore. It offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Don’t miss the waterfront promenade and the Viale Cesare Lomazzi street
