Gravedona, Lake Como
Welcome to Gravedona,
Gravedona is considered to be one of the most important towns of the Lario
for historic, religious and commercial reasons, situated in an inlet at
the foot of the mountain.
Just a few kilometres away from Domaso
and surrounded by a wonderful landscape, this village has become a summer
resort thanks to its mild climate, mitigated in the summer by constant
breezes.
It offers beautiful lakeside promenades, that have been
recently renewed and many outdoor activities, starting from its’ well-equipped
beaches.
The old town centre is characterized by narrow alleyways,
steep step ways, and old houses all attached to each other. There are
many artistic sites to see in town. Among them: Santa Maria del Tiglio,
San Vincenzo, Santa Maria delle Grazie e SS. Gusmeo e Matteo and Palazzo
Gallio, with its imposing aura, dominating a lonely corner of the lakefront.
Nearby you find the villages of Dongo, Peglio and Livo,
and also some nice trekking routes.
