We are in Domaso on the
west side
of the northern lake Como.
Lake Como
The limited extension of the territory should not be misleading as
few other Italian localities offer such a variety of environmental,
landscape and human settlement tipologies.
Very small villages with rows of characteristic stone houses come
one after the other along the lake side and world famous localities
known for their beauty.
These are lake localities that maintain that sound charm which made
them a sure stop-over for those refined visitors who crossed the Alps
in order to visit Italy.
The splendid estates which lie along the banks of the Como lakes
and in Brianza are evidence of the charm which the province of Como
has been able to wield, a charm which grows before the presence of
these extraordinary buildings set in luxurious gardens.
A particular characteristic of these gardens are the plants which
are normally found in very mild climates, for example laurel trees,
olive trees and tropical plants which thrive thanks to the climate of
the lake which is unusually mild if one considers its geographic
position.
