Chalet La Mimosa is a pretty chalet in stone situated on the western coast of Lake Como, in the village of Ossuccio, a small village located on the western shore of the lake enjoying a breathtaking view in front of the only island of Lake Como, Isola Comacina. The chalet has been newly refurbished but still preserves its original style with original stoned walls providing an ideal holiday retreat perfect for couples seeking for a beautiful place away from the stresses of daily life.
Inside it is tastefully furnished and has parquet flooring and wooden ceiling. There are two balconies offering a breathtaking lake view, especially if you happen to be here the last weekend in June during the San Giovanni Festival that sees the island Comacina blaze into life, with hundreds of tiny lamps in snail shells, followed by a huge fireworks display. The house is situated 600 meters away from the centre where you can find a selection of bars, restaurants and shops and a nice beach in front of Isola Comacina.
It is a really pretty village and has a lovely lakeside location. It is famous for the two bell towers prominent on the lake front: the sail shaped’ tower of S.Giacomo and the Moorish tower of the Church of S. Maria Maddalena ad Ospedaletto
Ossuccio is an ideal starting point for walkers. One walk in particular is quite steep, which passes fourteen baroque churches and leads to the 'Santuario della Madonna del Soccorso
There are also many well known villas, especially the imposing 'Villa del Balbiano' and the 'Villa Leoni'. From here you can easily reach the next-door village of Sala Comacina where you can get the Taxi boat to visit Isola Comacina.
Lenno is just 1km away offering the popular beach Lido di Lenno and well known Villa Balbianello, while the bigger village of Menaggio is 8km away from where you can catch the ferry boat to visit Bellagio and Varenna.

Chalet in stone completely renewed built on three levels: on the ground floor double bedroom with access to a small private garden and bathroom with bath tub and washing machine; on the first floor kitchen with stove, oven, dish washer, dining table and living area with double sofa bed, tv sat and terrace with lovely lake view.

Ossuccio is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the Lake Como with a lovely view on Isola Comacina, Bellagio peninsula and the Grigne mountains.
Certainly worth a visit is the Sacro Monte di Ossuccio, located on a hillside slope between olive groves and woods, with its fourteen Baroque inspired chapels, built between 1635 and 1710, dedicated to the Mysteries of the Rosary. The monastery preserving over 200 statues made by the artists of the Scuola Intelvese was recently inserted by UNESCO in the World Heritage List.
The path with its 14 chapels leads to the Madonna del Soccorso sanctuary, which is mentioned in Pilgrims Progress. The legend talks about a deaf and dumb shepherdess that after finding the statue of the Virgin in a cave began to speak again. And for this reason a church was built here.
From here you can reach Alpe Boffalora and enjoy a lovely panorama that goes Val Perlana and reaches Alpe Lenno. Behind you can admire the beautiful Lake Lugano.
You can have lunch at the Rifugio where you'll taste local specialties and on the way back you can take an alternative route that goes down to S. Benedetto enjoying spectacular views.
