About Argegno
Argegno is a small medieval village on the western shore of Lake Como, split in two by the Telo stream, about 18 km from Como. An old Romanesque bridge crosses the Telo, and its churches include the parish church of Santissima Trinità. Above it, the cable car from the village lifts you up to Pigra, a mountain village at 850 metres. The homes are all within a short walk of one another, so you stay in the village itself rather than up in the hills. Expect a place for boat hops and short strolls rather than nightlife; Como is about 20 to 25 minutes away on the faster boats.
Is Argegno right for you?
- Best for
- Couples and small families wanting a lake village with a boat link
- Not for you if

Argegno villa holidays: questions answered
How long is the boat from Como to Argegno?
Around 20 to 25 minutes on the faster direct sailings, run by the state lake navigation company. Departures vary through the day, so check the timetable before planning a day around the boat.
Is there a cable car in Argegno?
Yes. The Argegno to Pigra cable car climbs from the village to Pigra, a mountain village at 850 metres, which makes an easy half-day trip from the lakeside.
Which airport do I fly into for Argegno?
Milan Malpensa works well: the drive is around an hour. If you are not hiring a car, take the airport bus to Como and change onto the local bus to Argegno, which takes about two hours in total.
Is Argegno right for a large group?
Not really. Homes in Argegno sleep four at most, typically in two bedrooms, so a big family or two couples travelling with children would need to book more than one place or look further up the lake.
What is the old village of Argegno like?
Small and medieval, divided by the Telo stream and joined by a Romanesque bridge. You can see the parish church of Santissima Trinità and the churches of Sant'Anna and San Sisinnio on foot in an afternoon.
