The House of Ale is located in San Fermo della Battaglia, strategically positioned at the gateway to Como, within the Spina Verde Regional Park. This area, abundant in history and nature, provides a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience, making it ideal for those who wish to immerse themselves in a lush and quiet environment while still being close to essential services and transportation.
The Spina Verde Park is a protected area featuring a dense network of hiking trails that weave through forests, clearings, and archaeological sites. It is a popular spot for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts, offering opportunities for both relaxing strolls and more challenging hikes, all accessible directly from the house. The park also houses two equestrian centers, providing options for horseback riding in both English and Western styles.
Despite its natural focus, the area is well-equipped with amenities: within minutes, one can access the Bennet shopping center and the 24-hour Carrefour, as well as the Sant’Anna Hospital and the FNM train station in Grandate, which offers quick connections to Como city center and Milan. For those traveling by car, the highway entrance is just five minutes away, allowing for a half-hour drive to Milan or Lugano while avoiding restricted traffic zones thanks to well-connected peripheral parking.
The proximity to Lake Como makes this location an ideal base for exploring the area's attractions: from historic villas overlooking the water to charming lakeside villages, from lake cruises to scenic trails that offer breathtaking views. Numerous restaurants, agriturismos, and local eateries serving traditional Lombard cuisine can also be found nearby, available year-round.
Finally, San Fermo della Battaglia is a place rich in history: the area was home to one of Garibaldi's regiment's outposts during the liberation of Como from Austrian rule in 1859. Today, it preserves memories of that past in a setting deeply intertwined with the landscape, where nature, history, and hospitality coexist in perfect harmony.
