How to get here by Car

As you might know, Lake Como is nestled between mountains, and that’s probably one of the reasons why you’ve chosen it for your vacation.
This means you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the lake, its villas, and its charming villages.
Like many mountain villages in Italy, you might also encounter narrow and winding roads, and street parking can sometimes be challenging.

Pietralago is located in the pedestrian zone of the Borgo di Capovico, in a panoramic position with a breathtaking view of Lake Como from above.
The final stretch of road to reach our property (about 500 meters) features narrow roads and sharp curves.
While not impossible, for those unfamiliar with driving on mountain roads, it can be both exciting and slightly challenging.

For this reason, if you're traveling by car, we recommend renting a small or medium-sized vehicle.

We offer a free parking space in a closed garage suitable for cars with a maximum length of 460 cm and a maximum width of 190 cm.
We’ve also frequently hosted larger cars, but your driving skills will certainly play a crucial role!

The property is easily reachable by car from Como in just a few minutes. You can set the address "Frazione Capovico 28" or “Pietralago” in Waze as your navigation app.

From Como, take the Lariana State Road towards Nesso and Bellagio for approximately 8 minutes.
After the third tunnel, continue for 400 meters and you’ll find a winding road on your right leading up the mountain.

The road has four hairpin turns, and the last one involves a sharp right turn, but it offers a marvelous view of Lake Como.
Continue for approximately 400 meters until you reach a roadside parking area.

At the end of the parking area, you will see a bench and a sign indicating that unauthorized vehicles are not allowed, and the road narrows.

If you have reserved a parking space in our garage, you can proceed beyond the access restriction for approximately 30 meters. You will see a dark gray shutter on your left.

If you haven't opted for parking in our garage, this is the closest point to the accommodation that you can reach by car.
We recommend unloading your luggage and then finding parking nearby.

Please be mindful of driveways and do not park outside of designated spaces.

The garage is equipped with a numeric keypad for automatic opening/closing.

The code to open it is: 170623

Digit the code and then press the button with the white dot located in the top left corner.
Once the garage is open, you can drive in and park your car as far forward as possible.

To close the garage repeat the same procedure.

A tip: to exit the garage, the best solution is to do the same maneuver in reverse and drive backwards along the narrow street until you find the first available point where you can turn around.

From the garage, continue along the uphill road for a few meters. Once you pass the metal barrier, you will enter the pedestrian village of Capovico, a historic and characteristic cluster of houses.

Please try to keep noise to a minimum to avoid disturbing the residents.

Continue for approximately 70 meters until you find a small staircase made of stones, consisting of about 6 steps, descending on the right.

Follow the staircase and at the end, turn right, where you will see a magnificent view of Lake Como and the sign for Pietralago, indicating the way to the entrance gate.

Once you’re here, please call us, and we’ll be there in a few minutes to welcome you and provide access to the property (our phone number is +393519766359)
