Il Pescatore is in a very charming position on Lake Como, next to the pebbled shore above the water. Pescatore means fisherman and this house was originally a fisherman's cottage. It is located in the quaint lake town of San Siro, on the sunny west side of Lake Como. This west shore has a particularly mild climate and one of the prettiest promenades of the entire lake. San Siro is built on a rock and has a series of alleyways very typical of Italian villages.
In the village of San Siro you will find a small food shop, pizzeria, 15th century church, and a few other services including a bus stop to nearby Menaggio (5km) where the ferry is located. Menaggio is a nice size town with a variety of restaurants and shops.
Many water sports facilities are close by for boat rental, sailing and windsurfing. To access the house, guests park close to the village and walk approximately 200 meters. The way to the house leads along these cobbled paths (vicoli), therefore the house is not suitable for elderly guests or people with walking difficulties.

Il Pescatore is bright and cheerful. There are several tall windows and some of these are French doors that open onto the myriad of balconies and patios. Flooded with light, the house offers lovely lake views from most every room.
The pink and yellow exterior is very characteristic of this region.
Recent renovations have created an attractive and comfortable interior with tasteful furnishings. The stylish wooden furniture in natural colors contrasts with the whitewashed walls. A painted wooden boot garnishes the kitchen ceiling. Two of the three floors have balconies facing the lake.
There are several outdoor areas for enjoying the views: There is a sitting area in front of the kitchen, behind which there is a pretty, sunny, stone patio.
