How to reach us
Como
is easily reached by plane, being close to both the Milan Airports of Malpensa
and Linate. Como is also very well connected by trains to all of the major
European Cities. Frequent and fast train service connects Como to Milan
or to Switzerland daily. Driving to Como is also very easy and pleasant,
either by fast highways or by scenic mountain roads.
For
visitors arriving by plane, Lugano airport is only a 20-minute drive from
Villa Olmo, and Malpensa, Bergamo, and Linate airports are roughly 30-45
minutes away.
Motorists will find their journey just as easy; the “Como Nord” exit on the A9 motorway from Milan takes them virtually to the gates of Villa Olmo, parking facilities surround the area.
Villa
Olmo is served by two railway lines Ferrovie Nord Milano, with a station
at “Como Lago”, and Italian State Railways, whose Como S. Giovanni
station is on the international Milan-Chiasso line.
