Lenno rises on the western shore of Lake Como, where the coastal area called Costa della Tremezzina begins.
Lenno enjoys a mild and dry climate, which favours the growth of Mediterranean vegetation, located in a gulf named the Gulf of Venus. There are numerous splendid villas in Lenno, among them Villa Cassinella di Mantegazza and the incomparable Villa del Balbianello, built in 1787 by Cardinal Durini.
Another historic building that arises in the Lenno area is the Acquafredda Abbey, reachable by a path surrounded by olive trees.
