Imagine living at the
beginning of the 20th
century on Lake Como.
People moving from
village to village
either by boat or
carriage. It took days
and days to get from
Como to the far north
end to reach and cross
the Alps, with goods or
livestock.
Ossuccio developed as a
halting post and the
house "Galbiga" was the
road-inn where to
shelter for the night
and have a meal. Those who
arrived by "comballo" (a
large transport boat
with one square sail)
moored in the little
harbour at 20 meters
from the house.
"Inn-Galbiga" became
"Casa Galbiga" (360
square meters), a
precious house. It has a
private fenced garden
with barbecue area and
is divided in 3
apartments one on each
floor. Although on an
active road, which is a
lakeside fact of life,
it gives you a feeling
of secluded charm.
Each
apartment sleeps 4 in 2
double bedrooms, either
balconies, backside
roofed terrace or open
terrace all with front
view overlooking lake
and mountains. Ask for
detailed description of
each apartment.
The villa is accurately
furbished partly with
family antiques. The
kitchen and bathrooms
are however in a modern
Italian design. Each
apartment can be rented
separately.
The owners have a speed boat and
would be happy to
arrange lake trips for
you ( with skipper) ,
ask for availability and
prices.
