Holiday Apartment in Onno – Lake, Hiking and History

Onno is a district of Oliveto Lario (LC), whose character is revealed through its lakeshore, mountain paths and historical traces. When you choose a holiday apartment in Onno, you can plan your trip around the focus that matters most to you: a day by the water, a hike with views or a tour through the area’s history. These different perspectives are precisely what make the area appealing for holiday days that combine active and more relaxing activities.

Between the Rocky Escarpment and Local History

The centre of the Onno district lies at the foot of the high Sasso di Onno rocky escarpment. The Chiesa di San Pietro Martire is located in the centre. Further south, the former settlement of Onno was situated near the still-existing Chiesetta di S. Anna. Anyone interested in the area’s historical development can thus shift their focus from today’s centre to an older settlement history.

The historic San Pietro Martire parish can be traced from the 16th century to 1989. The history you can explore in Onno therefore extends beyond individual buildings, reaching back to the 16th century and continuing through 1989. The Chiesa di San Pietro Martire in the centre and the Chiesetta di S. Anna further south provide different local reference points for this historical trail.

Days at the Beach on Lake Como

For days by the water, Onno offers a free-access beach with clear lakebed visibility. OnnoLulu Beach is located directly on the shore of Lake Como in the Onno district of Oliveto Lario (LC). Onnolulu Beach can be reached by land and by lake; a private jetty is available for arrivals by boat. The water, lakebed and different ways of arriving thus create a distinct focus within your trip planning.

Choosing a Holiday Apartment in Onno for Hiking

On the Sentiero degli Olivi, Sentiero n. 1 leads from Onno to the hamlet of La Madonnina. Sentiero n. 3 follows an old mule track through chestnut woods to Crezzo. The two paths have different characteristics: one leads to a local destination, while the other passes through a woodland landscape. For your planning, this distinction can help you shape a hiking day around your preferred scenery and direction.

The hike from Onno to the Chiesetta del Ghisallo offers views of Onno, its beaches, the lake and the Grigne. From Onno, the hike also provides views of the Grigne, Resegone and Lake Como. Hikes starting in Onno therefore encompass both the area and its shores as well as prominent landscape features.

Culture in the Surrounding Area

The Museo Moto Guzzi is located in the surrounding area of Onno. Alongside the beach, hiking trails and local history, this adds a connection to motorcycle culture when planning your holiday days. You can therefore choose a holiday apartment in Onno according to the themes you want to shape your stay: water, woods, mountain views, historic places or a cultural excursion in the surrounding area.

When choosing accommodation in Onno, this thematic approach is helpful without presupposing any features of the individual holiday apartments. What matters instead is which experiences you want to associate with your stay. Those who like to keep different ideas for each day open will find points of interest in Onno ranging from the free-access beach and paths through chestnut woods to the district’s churches and traces of its settlements.
