Residence Sala Comacina apartment no 2

Isola Comacina is a small wooded island of Italy’s Lake Como, administratively a part of the commune of Ossuccio. It is located close to the western shore of the Como arm of the lake in front of a gulf known as Zoca de l'oli, a Lombard name referring to the local small-scale production of olive oil. In the late 6th century the island was a remaining Roman stronghold under Francio, a subordinate of Narses; though the areas surrounding Lake Como were entirely controlled by the Lombards. The island was besieged for a good deal of time by the Lombards under Authari who released Francio to flee back to Narses' capital at Ravenna. The Lombards found the island to contain "many riches" deposited for safekeeping by local Roman loyalists.

Isola Comacina is a small island that is accessible only by boat and is home to a number of quaint restaurants, cafes, and shops. The island is steeped in history, with ruins dating back to the Roman times. One of the most notable landmarks on the island is the church of San Giovanni, which was built in the 11th century and is a popular attraction for tourists.

Apart from exploring the history of the island, Isola Comacina is also known for its scenic views. The island offers stunning vistas of the surrounding mountains and Lake Como. The best way to enjoy these views is by taking a leisurely stroll along the island's walking trails, which are lined with olive groves and vineyards.
