GETTING AROUND
For the guests' convenience, we advise them to arrive by a car. Como city is a 15-min drive away.
Travelling without a car can be trickier, but also totally doable. There are buses running from Moltrasio to Como and other lakeside towns. Look for lines C10 operated by ASF Autolinee. Tickets can be obtained from the driver (cash only) or in designated places in the area - e.g. "La Cartoleria di Moltrasio" located in Via Besana, 68, in the centre of Moltrasio, or in Como (see the ASF Autolinee website). Please note that the buses don't run often and services stop at around 10 pm. Taxi rides are available, but not easily attainable in the region.
From the pier in Piazza San Rocco in Moltrasio, ferries regularly depart to nearby towns. The timetable and tickets are available on the Navigazione Laghi website. You can also buy tickets at the pier.
From Como, it is easy to travel to Milan and Switzerland (Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno) by train. There are also public ferries travelling to other lakeside towns from the pier in the Como centre.
The nearest airports are Milano Malpensa, Milano Linate, and Orio Al Serio in Bergamo. It is possible to arrange a direct shuttle to and from the airport at an additional cost.
For more questions regarding transportation, please do not hesitate to contact us, we will be happy to help and ensure that you reach your preferred destination!

TIPS
>We advise you to take a day to visit the marvellous little towns around the lake. Como city is the urban centre of the area, but the little towns are gems with glorious lakeside villas.
