Far from the glossy glamour of other Larian resorts, Piona enchants with its simplicity, discreet charm and the spirituality that emanates from the ancient Abbey. We will take you on a discovery of this corner of paradise, inviting you to slow down and immerse yourself in its unique atmosphere. Let’s add this amazing stop to your boat tour!

Piona is more than just a resort on Lake Como. It is a place of the soul, where history, spirituality and the beauty of nature come together in unique harmony. If you are looking for an authentic experience, far from the hustle and bustle, a place where you can reconnect with yourself and the landscape, Piona is the ideal destination. Discover this hidden treasure of the Lario, an oasis of peace that will win you over with its discreet charm and unforgettable atmosphere.

A monastic complex of medieval origin overlooking the headland

Probably founded in the 11th century, the abbey has traversed the centuries, bearing witness to the history of the Lario and preserving within it an aura of sacredness and peace. A visit to the abbey is an experience not to be missed. It is accessed through an evocative portal that introduces the cloister, a jewel of Lombard Romanesque architecture with its elegant arches and finely crafted columns. Walking through its silences, one breathes in the history and spirituality that have animated this place for centuries.

Breathtaking panoramic views of the lake

Piona is not only history and spirituality, but also an oasis of unspoiled nature. The Olgiasca peninsula offers breathtaking panoramic views of the lake, with paths winding through lush forests and hidden coves.
A walk along the Sentiero del Viandante (Wayfarer’s Trail), which also touches Piona, provides spectacular views of the Lecco branch and surrounding mountains. It is the ideal place to soak in the silence of nature, listen to birdsong and enjoy the lake breeze.

Piona’s beaches, less crowded than in other areas of the lake, offer the chance to relax in the sun and take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of the Lario. The tranquility of the place makes them particularly suitable for families and those seeking a more intimate contact with nature.
