Gera Lario

Gera Lario is a small village at the northern tip of Lake Como, in the province of Lecco, bordering the province of Sondrio. Its favourable location makes it an excellent base for exploring the lake's most iconic spots: Bellagio, with its picturesque lanes and headland dividing the lake's two branches; Menaggio and Tremezzo, known for their historic villas and gardens; Lenno, home to the renowned Villa del Balbianello; and Colico, further north, gateway to the Valtellina region. The village itself has a peaceful atmosphere, away from the bustle of busier lakeside towns, with open views over the surrounding mountains, particularly Monte Legnone, which dominates the landscape. To take in this scenery, the Le Canottieri restaurant offers a lakeside terrace where guests can dine with a direct view of the water and the mountain range beyond. The surrounding area is well suited to lakeside walks, boating and discovering the traditional villages that line Lake Como, offering a mix of architectural heritage and unspoilt natural scenery.
