Just behind the villa is a boat museum that features hundreds of lake boats dating from the 19th century to more modern times. It’s a great way of learning about Lake Como’s nautical history over the last couple of centuries. Former fishing village, Santa Maria Rezzonico (4km), is further south along the lake from the villa. Its narrow streets are full of archways and stairways, creating a maze-like feel to the town. Along with plenty of beautiful stone buildings, there are several historic sites of interest. These include ornate 14th-century church of Santa Maria Assunta and the towering castle that overlooks the town. The old town of Menaggio (10km) is well worth a visit, with a mostly-ruined, medieval castle and its walls that you can walk along for spectacular lake views. There’s also a Lido by the water with swimming pools, a sandy beach and plenty of activities for children. Walk around the lovely botanical garden that’s full of ancient trees and colourful plants at Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo (15km).
