Upon arriving in Lierna, you will easily find the B&B Le Ortensie, identifiable by its charming white gate that opens into a spacious garden filled with hydrangeas. The shaded and peaceful porch is the perfect spot to take a break after your journey and enjoy a refreshing drink surrounded by greenery.
Le Ortensie is a small and lovingly maintained B&B, where every detail is designed to make you feel at home. The hospitality is simple and heartfelt, enhanced by the owner's passion for the lake and swimming: it's not uncommon to find her at the beach, ready to join you for a swim or a moment of sunbathing.
Lierna is a lovely village overlooking Lake Como, renowned for its two beaches, Riva Bianca and Grumo. The B&B is located directly across from Riva Bianca, next to the picturesque medieval village with a small 13th-century church, where Mass is still celebrated on Saturdays. During the summer, the town comes alive with events and traditional festivals: in June, there’s "Le Cantine," a tasting journey featuring local wines and cheeses; "La Regina nel Castello," a historical reenactment of the Lombard period; and in July, "Agoni, polenta e musica," dedicated to lake fish and local flavors.
In the surrounding area, you can find fairs, fireworks, and culinary evenings in nearby villages. Just a few kilometers away are Varenna and Bellagio, the two jewels of Lake Como, easily accessible by boat or train, making for a perfect stay filled with nature, culture, and genuine hospitality.
Breakfast in the garden and on the terrace if the weather permits, or in the livingroom with lake view.
Jams, butter mountain, eggs, yogourth, croissant, sweets according to the time and local products for those who also loves something salato. All accompanied by a fruit juice and milk, coffee or tea.
