Charming Laglio

The quaint village of Laglio sits on the western shore of the west branch of Lake Como’s Y-shape, also called the Como Fork. Dream homes and luxury hotels line the shore while olive groves and vineyards fill the surrounding hillsides. Cobblestone streets meander through the town proper leading to charming boutiques and scrumptious trattorias.  

In truth, Laglio is the quintessential Italian town.  

North of busier Cernobbio, Laglio keeps life peaceful. Visitors often travel to the village to relax from everyday life and commune with nature. However, Laglio also has a host of sights worth exploring like Chiesa di San Giorgio, The Church of Saint George. This baroque church, with its stunning architecture and artwork, sits right in the town center.
