About Lago di Mezzola
Lago di Mezzola is a lake, not a town. It lies north of Lake Como, separated from it by the Pian di Spagna, a wetland built from silt left by the flooding Adda; in antiquity the lake was the northern branch of Lake Como itself. The Mera river is its largest inflow and its only outflow. Villages ring the shore: Novate Mezzola at the north, Verceia, San Fedele and Bocca d'Adda on the east side, and Dascio and Albonico, parts of Sorico, on the west. Our homes are spread over a few kilometres around the lake, mostly sleeping about five, and many have a garden. The lake and plain form a nature reserve, with waterbirds and waders along the shore and pike, perch and tench in the water.
Is Lago di Mezzola right for you?
- Best for
- Birdwatchers, anglers and quiet stays away from the main lake
- Not for you if
- You want a private pool or the classic Lake Como villages, as homes here have no pools and the lake is small and separate.

Getting to Lago di Mezzola
Milan Bergamo airport is about an hour and a quarter by car from Colico, which is a short drive from the lake. Trains on the Lecco to Tirano line serve Colico, with an hourly connection on to Dubino for the reserve, but homes are spread around the lake, so plan on a car.
When to go to Lago di Mezzola
The mid-lake boat service on Lake Como runs hourly through the day in the summer season; at other times check the timetable at the quay or online. The Splugen pass is closed from the end of autumn to the beginning of spring, which matters for any trip toward Switzerland by that road. Trains run separate winter and summer timetables.
