For great information about local sites, please see http://www.italianlakes.com, created and maintained by two Villa Isella residents.
There
is an abundance of information on the web and at the library about
Italy. A good place to start is the Italian Tourist Web Guide: http://www.itwg.com or http://travel-italy.com
Outdoor
Activities
The
location of Villa Isella in the pre-Alps between two beautiful lakes
offers a plethora of tourism and outdoor activities. There are wonderful
sightseeing opportunities in the villages, towns, and cities of
Northern Italy and Switzerland. The area is quite easy to explore
for the independent tourist, or you may prefer a guided tour (available
in English and other languages), available from Como, Lugano, and other cities. For the more active explorer, the area offers
incredible mountain hiking, horseback riding, bicycling (for the
daring!), and all forms of water activities. In the winter, skiing
opportunities are within a one to two hour drive (St. Moritz, for
example).
Seasonal
Events
In addition to outdoor touring and sports, various festivals of
local culture, food, and wine frequently occur, and musical concerts
and festivals are organized in Lugano, Como, and even in some of
the smaller local towns and villages. The tourist offices in Lugano,
Como, Bellagio, and Menaggio can supply you with specifics.
