The quiet end of the lake
Montemezzo sits above the north shore, between the mountains and the water. Hiking and mountain biking above; kitesurfing, sailing and stand-up paddling below at Domaso — both within minutes.

The north shore vs. the classic towns
Bellagio and Varenna are the postcard towns — and busy with it in July and August. The north shore trades some of that density for space: a quieter beach at Gera Lario, real parking, and a 25-minute walk (or 8-minute drive) between the house and the water.
