Lenno is rather different from the other lakeside towns stretched out along the water's edge, because it is almost hidden by a deep inlet between the promontory of Levedo and the headland of Portezza. From here you can enjoy a unique view of the lake and Bellagio, but if you want to explore one of the most attractive point on the western shore, you can take a short boat-trip along the promontory, land at the far end and be entranced by the park of Villa Balbianello.

This "attractive retreat" was created by Cardinal Durini in the 18th century and is still one of the most beautiful and romantic villas on the lake. It is now owned by the FAI and is open to visitors. If you prefer older sights, you can visit the deanery of S.Stefano and the Romanesque Batistery the church of S.Andrea (11th cent.), the Monastery of Acquafredda (12th cent.), the Santuario del Soccorso and the Sacred Mount.
