Nearby:
Carate Urio is located on the western shore of the Como branch of Lake Como. This charming village has preserved its old-world charm, with cobbled alleys, Moltrasio stone staircases, historic houses overlooking the water, and elegant period villas nestled in greenery. The apartment is located in the hamlet of Cavadino, along the beautiful Via Verde, a 7 km panoramic walking path that winds through the hidden corners of villages from Tosnacco (part of Moltrasio) to Laglio. Cavadino is about a 15-minute walk from the lakefront and from two renowned local dining spots: the Millesimo bistro – perfect for an aperitif or informal dinner with a view – and the fine Acquadolce restaurant, ideal for a top culinary experience. Just a few minutes' walk away along the lake is the boat stop connecting Carate Urio to Como and other enchanting towns on Lake Como, such as Torno, Argegno, and Menaggio. The town borders the famous villages of Laglio and Moltrasio and is just a 10-minute drive from Cernobbio, known for its elegant lakeside promenade and historic luxury hotels. The city of Como, with all major services, is about a 20-minute drive away. Thanks to its proximity to Switzerland, Carate Urio is also an ideal base for short cross-border trips: the customs checkpoints of Chiasso and Pizzamiglio can be reached in about 15 minutes, offering easy access to nearby Ticino.
