Onno between lakeshore, hiking trails and local history
Accommodation in Onno
Onno combines lakeshore, trails and local history with a distinctive townscape. The Chiesa di San Pietro Martire is located in the center of the hamlet. Onno also has a free-access beach with a transparent lakebed. This gives you various points of connection: you can plan your stay by the water, on trails through the landscape or at historic buildings. Accommodation in Onno can therefore be selected according to the desired mix of nature, culture and excursions.
Location and townscape
The center of the hamlet of Onno lies at the foot of the high rocky cliff of Sasso di Onno. This location gives the townscape a clear connection to the landscape: the rocky cliff forms the distinctive backdrop to the center, while the lake and surrounding trails open up further perspectives. Anyone viewing Onno as a starting point for different interests will therefore find not just a single sightseeing point here, but a spatially varied setting comprising the hamlet, rocky landscape and lakeshore.
Churches and local history
The former settlement of Onno was located farther south near the still-existing Chiesetta di S. Anna. The history of the historic parish of San Pietro Martire in Onno can also be traced from the 16th century to 1989. Together with the Chiesa di San Pietro Martire in the center, this creates a townscape in which present-day paths and historical settlement connections stand side by side. The two churches therefore serve as specific reference points if you wish to understand Onno not only through its landscape but also through its development.
Beach and access to the lake
Onnolulu Beach can be reached by land and via the lake; a private jetty is available for arriving by boat. This should be distinguished from OnnoLulu Beach: it is located directly on the shore of Lake Como in the hamlet of Onno, part of Oliveto Lario (LC). The two details illustrate different forms of access to the lake, without allowing any particular arrival method or special accommodation facilities to be inferred. For your planning, the main consideration is whether you wish to approach the place by land or via the lake.
Hiking trails and views
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 forests to Crezzo. Another perspective is provided by the hike from Onno to the Chiesetta del Ghisallo: it offers views of Onno, its beaches, the lake and the Grigne. A hike from Onno also offers views of the Grigne, Resegone and Lake Como.
