The three little villages on the first part of Lake Como west branch
Moltrasio, Carate Urio and Laglio are three villages located on the left side of the west branch of Lake Como. Their shores are characterized by a multitude of villas and gardens from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Most of these villas are private; this area has attracted many famous names, who have decided to buy a property in one of these villages. The best known is undoubtedly George Clooney who bought a villa in Laglio in 2002. The villas are only visible from the lake, so it is advisable to use a boat or a taxi boat to appreciate the architectural beauty of these places. This area is also recommended for those looking for a relaxing place to stay for a few nights and fully enjoy the peace of Lake Como.
