Quiet, village feel. Easy access into Como using the Funicolare which runs every 15 minutes. It's £5.50 return and takes no more than 10 minutes. During certain times of the day there was a bit of a queue, but we always managed to get on.

For a small bar with great food, panoramic view and friendly service visit the bar at the end of Via Pissarottino.
