Lecco: Location and surroundings of this property

Lecco is the town that inspired Italian poet Alessandro Manzoni to write one of the most important and famous novels in Italian literature, ‘I promessi sposi’ (The Betrothed). The city is known for its picturesque landscape, nestled between the mountains and the lake, as well as its rich cultural, literary, and industrial heritage. It offers many recreational, cultural, and commercial activities, as well as state-of-the-art services in education, healthcare, and industry. Lecco's lakefront is a key element of the urban landscape: the scenic promenade offers spectacular views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. The buildings along the lakefront vary from neoclassical to modern styles, creating a harmonious mix of architecture. The town offers various outdoor sports opportunities, given its privileged location close to the lake and mountains. Lovers of water sports, hiking and climbing will find numerous opportunities for fun. The city of Lecco is about 40 minutes by car from Como, and is relatively close to Monza and Milan, which are also connected by the railway line and the SS26 state road, which makes it possible to reach Milan in less than an hour.
