Welcome to the lake

Your front-row seat on Lake Como

Casa Gelsomino is a modern, comfortable detached house built in 2018 – just five metres from the water, with direct access to the pebble beach.

Thanks to the large windows, you can see the lake, the mountains and the 2,609 m Monte Legnone from almost everywhere. The house is furnished in a modern, tasteful style: a bright living and dining area with open kitchen, two bedrooms opening onto the balcony and a shower room.

The heart of the house is the partly covered terrace with its glass balustrade. Enjoy breakfast with a lake view and unwind in the evening. The fenced plot with lawn is yours alone during your stay.

Location

Gera Lario – the peaceful northern shore of Lake Como

Gera Lario is a small holiday resort of around 1,060 inhabitants in the north of Lake Como, at the foot of the mountains and with beautiful views.

Casa Gelsomino is located in the Cinque Case district on the edge of the village, around 1 km from the centre with its bakery, post office, bank, restaurant and bar. The lakeside cycle path runs right in front of the house, and the “Acquaforte” grass beach is just a few minutes’ walk away.

In summer you can enjoy sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing, canoeing and rowing, as well as tennis, golf, paragliding, fishing (with a permit), mountain hiking and mountain-bike tours. Popular excursions include the lakeside promenade Sorico–Gera Lario–Cremia, the Pian di Spagna nature reserve and the San Bartolomeo viewpoint (1,204 m).

Good to know: the house is reached via a path with 18 steps. The lakeside road runs 30 m behind the house – the terrace and garden face the lake.
