More information
From “Al Marnich” you are within easy reach of a vast number of tourist attractions, both in Italy and nearby Switzerland. The Intelvi's Valley has a rich artistic heritage to explore, in addition to its natural beauty. Como Lake (8km) has lots to offer: it is famous for its magnificent villas, botanical gardens and romanesque churches. Do not miss Como, "Isola Comacina" (the only island on Lake of Como), and only a short boat-ride from there to Villa Balbianello, Villa Carlotta and its famous gardens, Lenno, Menaggio, Gravedona, Bellagio, Varenna to name but a few. A couple of hours by car can take you to St. Moritz, 45 minutes to the lakeside city of Lugano in Switzerland and approximately one hour to Milan. Or, once on the shores of Lake Como or Lugano, you can enjoy the various boat-trips either on the Hydrofoil ("Ali Scafo", in Italian language), or the more leisurely "Battello - Ferry".
