Make a self catering villa in Sala Comacina, Italy your home away from home

This small, typical Italian town sits on the shores of Lake Como at the foot of Monte Costone in the Southern Alps of Lombardy and is one of the most notable places on the lake. It has many fine villas along the lakeside which were built as holiday homes for famous writers and wealthy families. This area is known for its spectacular scenery, history and culture. The medieval village has narrow alleys linking the shops, church, bank and local restaurants and makes a great base for a self catering holiday.

Things to do in Sala Comacina, Italy

The beach at Sala Comacino is within easy reach of your self catering villa. It provides access to the lake for swimming in the warmer summer months. Water skiing, boating, windsurfing, parasailing and kayaking are all enjoyed on Lake Como.

The Romanesque style church of San Bartolomeo dates back to the 15th century although it was partly rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Baroque altar is made of wood and there is a lovely fresco by Carloni dating back to the 18th century. The church also has a collection of paintings from the Luinesca School which are worth viewing.
