Haven Nº 039 — Cernobbio, Lake Como
Villa d'Este
Leave Milan on Friday by the half-hourly train. By Saturday you are swimming on the lake itself.
Lake Como
Villas, boats and the light on the water.
Two villas by the water. Passalacqua, in Moltrasio, is a villa of 1787 that stays open through the winter; the house says Bellini wrote La Sonnambula there in 1831. Villa d’Este, in Cernobbio, is a cardinal’s villa of 1568 whose pool floats on the lake, less than an hour from Milan’s Duomo by car without traffic.
