Garden, Pool and the Lake
Lierna, Lake Como, Lake Como, Italy
Why We Selected It

What makes this apartment unusual on Lake Como is the combination of a finished, 2024-renovated interior and a genuinely usable private garden with a lake view — in Lierna, one of the quieter villages on the eastern shore, at a price where most options offer one or the other. The open-plan living room is double-aspect and opens to the garden; the bathroom is windowed with a walk-in shower; the plumbing, electrics and windows were all renewed in 2024, and there is a fireplace with thermostatic valves, heat-pump central heating and split air-conditioning. The condominium itself, a 1970s complex with two pools and a tennis court, gives the amenities of a resort without the upkeep of owning them outright — and the property comes with a cellar, a covered parking space and an independent garage, the last of which is rare in a lakeside apartment. It is already run as a holiday let with good yield, so the numbers work from day one for a buyer who wants to keep letting it.

Life Here
Lierna
A medieval village of stone houses and narrow lanes on Lake Como's eastern shore, between Mandello del Lario and Varenna. Its old town clusters around a frescoed castle, and the pale crescent of Riva Bianca — one of the lake's best swimming beaches — curves around the headland. Celtic in origin, Roman in name (Hibernia), it has 11 hamlets rising from the shore to the slopes of the Grigne massif, and a mild climate sheltered between lake and mountain.
The garden
The private garden faces the lake and is the real outdoor room of the apartment — large enough for a dining table and loungers, and where the day is spent from spring to autumn, looking across the water toward the Bellagio promontory.
The lake
Varenna, with its ferry links to Bellagio and Menaggio, is minutes up the shore. The villas of the Tremezzina, the gardens of Bellagio, and the mountain walks above the Grigne are all within easy reach — yet Lierna itself stays quiet, the kind of place where the beach is never crowded.
Getting there
Lierna has its own train station on the Lecco–Sondrio line: Lecco is 25 minutes, Milan Central around an hour via Lecco, and Milan Malpensa roughly an hour and a quarter by road. The eastern shore road runs through to Varenna and Colico, and the car ferry at Varenna crosses to Bellagio and the western shore.
As an investment
Already run as a holiday let with strong occupancy, the apartment offers immediate rental yield for a buyer who wants to keep letting it, or a turnkey private home for one who does not. Lierna's relative quiet and swimming beach make it a distinctive draw for lake visitors who want to avoid the crowds of Bellagio and Varenna.
Our Perspective
Why it works
A 2024-renovated 110 m² apartment with a private lake-view garden, plus two pools, a tennis court and a separate garage — in Lierna, on Lake Como's quieter eastern shore, at €480,000, a price where most options offer far less outdoor space and none of the amenities.
Ownership case
The condominium structure keeps holding costs modest while delivering resort-level amenities, and the separate garage adds value most lakeside apartments lack. Already performing as a holiday let, it works equally as a primary residence, a second home or a rental investment.
What makes it special
The private garden facing the lake in Lierna — one of Como's swimming villages, with Riva Bianca beach and a medieval castle — paired with a fully 2024-renovated interior, a condominium that adds pools and tennis, and the independent garage, which is genuinely rare at this price point.
Best suited for
A buyer who wants a finished, low-maintenance Lake Como base with real outdoor space and resort amenities in a quiet village with a swimming beach — equally suited as a turnkey holiday home or a self-funding rental investment.
