The village of Griante , facing Bellagio, lies fifty metres above the level of the lake just where the Lario is at its widest. Cadenabbia, rising from the slopes of Monte Crocione is one of the most important hamlets which makes up this quiet tranquil village
The name Cadenabbia derives originally from “Ca dei Nauli” or “Casa dei Barcaioli” as in olden times the hotel used to be an inn, where merchants from Lecco and Como, using special flat bottomed boats to take their wares and provisions up and down the lake, stopped to rest and eat.
Famous visitors :
Over the years many well known people have visited this area amongst whom are Stendhal, Giuseppe Verdi, Longfellow, Queen Victoria, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Arch Duke Nicholas II of Russia and in more recent times Chancellor Konrad Adenauer a supporter of The European Union. One famous visitor we remember in particular is Carlo Guglielmo Franzani, who died in Carlazzo in 1813, as he left his self portrait on a wall in the courtyard of his family home. |
