Just stepping out of your Studio, you can find the private terrace with a full view of the Lake and surrounded by the greenery of the garden. The terrace is equipped with comfortable lounge furniture featuring a sofa with a coffee tables and a small dining table with 2 chairs.
THE LOCATION
Staying here you would be only 20 min drive from the town of Como and 25 min to Bellagio, making Olive at The Big House the perfect base for exploring the Lake (bus C30, which stops 150 meters away, will bring you to both Bellagio and Como). There are several public parking lots in the vicinity (the closest one is about 150 meters away). The best way to move around the Lake though (from April to September) is the public boat service, whose dock is just down the stairs (about 50 meters away). It reaches both Como town and Bellagio, and many other beautiful villages on the lake shores.
This is a a truly romantic place where one can switch off from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the slow living. We like to think it is the spot for the dreamers of the world. It is perfect for surprising your better half and enjoying your anniversary, his/her birthday, or simply taking the time to indulge. Our ultimate goal is letting guests fully embrace the motto all true Italians live by ''Dolce far niente''.
WHEN TO COME
Not many people know but we'll let you in on a secret - even if the (traditionally) best time to visit the Lake is between March and October, Lake Como has an amazing feel in winter as well. With its fascinating mountain surroundings and frequent sunny, crispy days, the winter season is perfect for taking the time to relax and enjoy: read a good book, take leisure walks to the lake shores, visit one of the magnificent historic villas (without the summer crowds), indulge in local food & wine or simply switch off from the busy daily routine.
The nearby town of Como has plenty of cultural and shopping possibilities in winter as well.
Additional IMPORTANT notes:
- Lake Como has hilly shores, so be informed there are quite a few stairs leading to The Big House (from the road level) and stairs leading down to the Lake shore. If you are afraid of stairs, this is not your place:) We recommend you to take bags & backpacks vs. large suitcases.
- We take cleaning and disinfecting very seriously. We have applied a vigorous and thorough cleaning process in order to ensure your health and safety
Pognana Lario is an ancient small sleepy town, conveniently located between Como and Bellagio. It has a very laid back atmosphere. Picturesque Torno is only a 10 minute drive. The public boat dock from where you can take the ferry to Como or Bellagio, for example, is only 3 min walking down the stairs.
Bus stop to Como and Bellagio is within 5 min walk up the stairs :). There is a grocery shop (and a butcher and a cash machine) with everything you need and a great café bar (great for breakfast or aperitivo) a few minutes walk from Mono as well as a few nice restaurants within the vicinity.
Pognana also offers a great base for hikes along the famous "Strada Vecchia Regina". Pognana Lario's slogan is: ''Best sunset views at Lake Como'' and Mono (as part of The Big House) truly lives up to it :)
Easily reached by boat, bus and car. Plenty of hiking and walking routes nearby, as well as 2 lake bathing spots in the village of Pognana. There are 5 small public (free) parking lots in the vicinity (the closest one is about 5 min walk down / up the stairs) but please keep in mind that they get full pretty quickly, particularly in the summer months.
