LENNO, Presentation

Hi, I am Marcy, your personal guide, and together with MyWoWo I’d like to welcome you to one of the wonders of the world: Lenno.

The historic village of Lenno, which is part of the municipality of Tremezzina, overlooks an area of the lakefront known as the Tremezzina Riviera or Rivieria of the Azaleas, a stretch of coastline along which are reflected some of the most beautiful historic villas around the lake.

You should know that in 1787, Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini moved to Ossuccio where he had bought the Villa del Balbiano. The prelate loved the small inlet that Lenno overlooks so much, which he renamed the Gulf of Venus, that he decided to build a second residence, the Villa del Balbianello, exactly on the most scenic spot: the promontory of Lavedo. You can reach the villa by boat, which departs from Lido di Lenno, or by taking a nice walk of about twenty minutes through the greenery....
