Rustico in Besana in Brianza

This area sits in the Brianza hills between the Lambro valley and the first prealpine belt. Montevecchia and the Curone valley are within reach, with the Parco Regionale di Montevecchia e della Valle del Curone just to the east and south-east, a protected hill landscape of woods, terraces and farmland. The Adda river is not far to the east around Imbersago and Paderno. Lecco is the nearest larger town, with a lakefront on Lake Como and rail links, but it lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for the settled Brianza countryside of villas, small woods, cultivated land and dense village fabric.
