Our secluded "Lago.di.Como-Lounge" can be found in an elevated, moderately inclined lakeside area near the center of "Acquaseria" Village (220 m aSL), which is the hub of the "San Siro Italia" community at the Roman "Strada Antica Regina" along the westbank of the Lago di Como.

Acquaseria, with about 900 inhabitants, is a quiet Italian village, famous for it's old houses, centered at the "Strada Antica Regina" with the oldest building (Sant'Abbondio) of the whole area, and famous too for several small villagios around, scattered nicely at the south eastern slope of the Monte Grona. As Acquaseria is a rather quiet place, it's about 5 km (7 min by bus) only  to Menaggio, the center of the central western lakeside, providing any kind of service and business in a more touristic and more noisy framework.

Acquaseria offers a nice pebble-covered lakeside beach, allowing for any kind of watersports, and on the mountain side a large network of hiking and biking trails for extended tours and more extended, impressive views of the Larian landscape.

Acquaseria also offers everything for our dayly life: Within <=5 min walk, we can reach the shops we need (eg Groceries, Fruits, Butchery) and also a handful of good everyday restaurants. And if we want to visit a bar or a nightclub: it's all there in the village. Even a post office and the authorities of the Commune San Siro are in 5 min reach, see http://www.comune.sansiro.co.it/hh/index.php .

If you want to find out the location of our "Lago.di.Como-Lounge" on Google Maps, please proceed as follows: Search for "Via Carozzi 11, Acquaseria". Switch ON the Satellite view. Identify the GREY-roofed building SOUTH of your marker, and see the 2nd Patio Deck at the Westside, counting from the north. That is our "Lago.di.Como-Lounge", with no view-obstructing building in front! And it can be yours.. temporarily! Please, see Rental!

Well maintained streets, a rail-connection, and the Lake itself connect our place to the outside world: 

By bus or car, you can go to Como and further to Milano and it's international Airports, as well as to neighboring Lago di Lugano and Lago Maggiore, partially in Switzerland. Or to the North to Swiss Maloja Pass and eg St Moritz.

By ship, you can go (from Menaggio) to Varenna to enter a train to Lecco and further to Bergamo (Airport) or to Milano again. Besides, yo can go by ship to Bellagio, and by "Water Taxi" to any place around the Lago di Como. And you can also use your own (rented) boat for that!

This way, all of the Lake, the Provinces Lombardi & Piemonte and more are within reach of 1 day tours. For all the points of interest waiting to be explored between Genova and St Moritz, and between Torino and Firence or even Venezia. 

And it takes years to visit all the famous locations and ressorts in this area! Many of them can be visited by walking\ biking, or by ship \ train\ bus (many guided tours available!), but all of them can be reached by 1-day car tours! - Andiamo!
