Erve centro paese casetta indipendente da finire

The cluster sits on the Adda river system beside the small Lago di Garlate and close to the Lecco (southeastern) branch of Lake Como. The Prealps rise immediately: Monte Barro and the Resegone massif are within a few kilometres and Parco Regionale del Monte Barro lies inside the local 15 km radius. The Grigne massif is also within about 15 km to the east. The Lecco–Piani d'Erna cable car (access to paths and winter activity areas on Resegone) is reached by a short drive from the lakefront. Nearest town of size is Lecco (provincial capital) which provides a regional train station, hospital (Ospedale A. Manzoni), shops and services; the SS36 state road runs through the Lecco corridor toward Milan and the Valtellina. The area is known for hiking and climbing on the nearby prealpine ridges, lakeside recreation on the Adda/Lake Como system and the historical-literary association of the Lecco area with Alessandro Manzoni's I promessi sposi.
