Lierna is an attractive small town on the eastern shore of Lake Como, about one hour's drive from Como, Milan and from Bergamo airport (listed as Milan-Bergamo by Ryanair) and 16km from the town of Lecco. 

The imposing peninsular of Castello juts out into Lake Como at the northern end of Lierna, joined to the mainland with the famous long white stretch of sand known as 'Riva Bianca'.

In the village centre you can be sure of a friendly welcome at the shops. Let Mario the baker, tempt you with his selection of fresh bread, pastries and cakes. Sit out at one of the bars and cafés and enjoy the evening aperitivo with the locals - a drink and snacks served around 6.00pm daily. Lierna has a supermarket, delicatessen, greengrocer's, florist's and gift shop, a hair stylist, bank, chemist's and post office, as well as several good restaurants and a takeaway pizzeria.

Like most Italian towns, Lierna has many old, close-packed groups of old houses forming a community, often with a small chapel; such as Muggiasco, Sornico and Castello. Take a walk around Lierna through its narrow cobbled alleyways and hidden "piazzettas" and see for yourselves. Enjoy the view from the newly created lakeside walkway which leads off the main "piazza".

Lierna has a railway station with frequent links south to Milan, west to Bergamo and north up the Valtellina (www.navigazionelaghi.it) Varenna, ten minutes by car or rail, has frequent ferry crossings to Bellagio and Menaggio as well as a hydrofoil service to Como. In the summertime, there's a daily ferry link to Bellagio from the centre of the village. These good transport links mean that there's no need to bring a car.
