Discover Gravedona and its surroundings
A holiday home in Gravedona is an excellent base for exploring the village and its surroundings. You can start with a walk through Gravedona itself. The characteristic old centre consists of a maze of streets, alleys and squares with nice terraces and restaurants. Gravedona used to be an important religious centre and this can still be witnessed in a number of beautiful churches, including the Santa Maria del Tiglio, Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Chiesa di San Gusmeo e Matteo. On the shores of the lake you will find the impressive Palazzo Galli, a palace from the 16th century with four imposing towers. You can also go on nice outings and daytrips from your holiday home.
