Moltrasio

Pocket-sized village on the western shore of Lake Como, Moltrasio draws on a heritage-dense streetscape, scenic lake views, and a concentration of churches and cafés that is unusually rich for its size. Winston Churchill and Gianni Versace both favoured it as a summer retreat. The village sits close to the Swiss border, within easy reach of Como and the wider region's UNESCO-listed landscapes.
