A section for those who love getting lost in alleyways, rediscovering forgotten stories and experiencing the magic of authenticity
There are places that escape the radar of mass tourism. Villages where silence speaks louder than a thousand words, where the stones of the houses preserve the memory of centuries, and where often surprising panoramas appear suddenly around a bend or beyond a mule track. These are the hidden villages of the Lecco area, ideal destinations for curious travellers, families seeking tranquillity, and culture and nature enthusiasts.
In this section of the portal, we invite you to discover SEVEN meticulously selected villages, a symbol of a region that has managed to preserve its most authentic soul. Perfect places for a slow trip or a regenerating holiday, where you can have genuine experiences among art, history and postcard-worthy landscapes.
1. Corenno Plinio (Dervio)
A medieval village overlooking the lake, with a still-intact castle, stairways carved into the rock, and a timeless atmosphere. Ideal for those seeking history, silence, and poetic views.
2. Vezio (Perledo)
Perched on a spur above Varenna, with its castle, the circling falcons, and the spectacular view of Lake Como. A place that enchants both adults and children.
Muggiasca (Bellano)
A cluster of ancient hamlets nestled amongst woods and meadows, immersed in a green and silent valley. Perfect for nature hikes, spiritual retreats, and days spent outdoors.
4. Noceno (Introbio)
A tiny rural hamlet in the Upper Valsassina, where ancient farming traditions survive in the landscape and the simplicity of the stone houses.
5. Mondonico (Olgiate Molgora)
In Lecchese Brianza, a micro-village nestled in the woods, beloved by painters and slow travellers. A starting point for walks through nature and culture.
6. Parlasco (between Esino and Taceno)
Small but evocative, it is the village of legends and murals, with tales of brigands and local stories painted on the facades of houses.
These villages aren't just pretty postcards: they are experiences to live, at a human pace. Walking through its narrow streets means encountering real faces, rediscovering forgotten flavours, participating in village festivals, tasting homemade cheese or admiring the sunset from the churchyard of a small church.
