Lenno on Lake Como

General information: the mooring in the bay of Lenno is unique in type and size. Protected by the gulf of the same name, the landing place is located on the north shore close to the shore. The pretty gulf, which opens to the east for about 350 m, towards the open lake, represents a decent shelter in case of bad weather. Leaning against the pretty promenade that runs along the entire inlet, it extends over a length of about 200 m, offering shelter to about 40 boats of various sizes. Continuing southwards and skirting the entire inlet, we arrive at the famous tip of Balbianello, characterized by the presence of the famous villa, a tourist destination of great interest. It should be noted the presence of an additional T-shaped pier for public use, of recent construction. The port is also characterized by the presence of a white/red pole, which indicates the depth of the water. Lenno on Lake Como Lenno stands on the western shore on lake Como, here begins the coastal area called the Costa della Tremezzina. Lenno's origins date back to the first Roman Empire; the territory was colonized by Greek colonies, sent here by Julius Caesar at the time of the founding of Nuova Como, colonies which introduced the cultivation of vineyards and olive groves - there is a centuries-old mill, which can still be seen today, which was used for the production of high-quality olive oil. It is believed that Plinio the Younger had his villa named Comedia, from where he could fish comfortably from his window.
