La Mansarda - Your guest house on Lake Como

Have you ever seen an island burning?🔥

On 24 June 1169, Emperor Frederick I Redbeard set Isola Comacina on fire, during the war between Como and Milan.

And every year, in June, the island on Como Lake "burns" again during the Sagra di San Giovanni with unforgettable fireworks in a unique atmosphere in the world💥

The fireworks this year will be on June 24 and the best way to see them is from the lake, on a cruise aboard a ferry 🛳

And what better base than La Mansarda to leave for your cruise?

La Mansarda, 5-minute walk from the pier, awaits you to pamper yourself after one of the most unforgettable experience of your life 🧡

The most iconic villa on Como Lake

Villa del Balbianello is located on a wooded promontory on Como lake, near the cozy village of Lenno. This elegant, romantic 18th century mansion and its magnificent garden are open to public and can be rented for esclusive weddings and events

A number of films have used the villa for location shooting, including A Month by the Lake (1995), His Demise starring Paul Zukowski (2016 disaster movie), Casino Royale (2006). The villa was also used for the lake retreat scenes in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones (2002), with some computer-generated imagery used in place of the building's true exterior.
