Been here?
Free lakeside parking with a beautiful view, but directly beside a busy and noisy road, even at night. A later comment reports a cost of 10 euro per day, while another says it is paid from 8h to 20h. The small area is also used by the neighbouring restaurant. It suits a lunch break or 1-2 nights, although road noise can be substantial.

Nice view, but the parking area is beside a very busy and extremely noisy road, even at night. There was a quiet spell between 3 and 4 a.m.
Nice parking area directly beside the road, so there is road noise, although it is quiet at night. The view is very beautiful. We would gladly come back.
Perfect for one night. You can hear the road, but it is not excessive. Beautiful view of the lake in the morning.
Small but excellent parking area with a superb view. Costs €10 per day. A nice restaurant nearby serves coffee and Aperol. Somewhat noisy at night because of a nearby road. Good for one or two nights.
The parking area is very small. It is used by the restaurant next door.
Very nice place with a beautiful view of the lake, but indeed quite noisy at night... quite a bit of traffic, but especially the dog from the house opposite, which kept barking, so the night was rather difficult. Paid from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Nice place to spend a night. Slightly noisy at night. Not recommended for those who want complete silence. Regular car traffic, but the lakefront is very pleasant and tranquility is guaranteed!
Beautiful parking area with a lake view, free from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.; otherwise €1.50 per hour, or €5 per day for residents.
The view is incredible, the pitch is good. It’s a sacrifice of noise versus view though! One of the noisiest stops we’ve done. We had a quiet night.
Slept here in my van for a night. Ok for a stopover, right on the lakeside, but noise from the road.
Quiet night despite the parking area being directly on the road. Opened the doors in the morning and looked straight out over the water. A super-cute ice cream shop is 100 m farther on, perfect for starting the day. Perfect for one night!
Very practical and very pretty for an overnight stay while visiting the surrounding area. Certainly beside the road, but little traffic at night in September. The view is great and the small beach right next to it lets you settle in. Free from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., with rules posted. Prefer Sunday and Monday because the restaurant next door is closed.
Very nice spot with a tiny beach down to the left, next to the restaurant. However, this parking area is not free. There is a payment machine.
Small parking area with wonderful lake views, a swimming area, grass and shade. We spent the day very comfortably. Parking is free.
Lovely place we found while coming from the north along the lake on a small road. We were happy to find it. Superb view. We stayed for lunch, but it was a little too noisy (...) to spend the night. Small restaurant right next door.
We spent one night at this great parking area with a direct view of the lake and mountains. There was another small van and a car. We swam in the lake first thing in the morning—great. However, it is very bright because the parking area is lit and there are cameras, though this did not bother us and nobody came to check. Just take your rubbish with you and dispose of it later.
We spent a peaceful night here. The view in the morning is fantastic. Excellent for spending a quiet day. The only drawback is that there is not even a rubbish bin.
Great free night parking spot and you can pay via app for the morning from 8am, beautiful views to wake up to! not too noisy on a Wednesday night even though next to a road, 3 other campers parked too.
Decent for one night on the way to varenna, no services and a loud dog up at all hours, beautiful view of the lake though
The view is truly fantastic, which is why the place is constantly visited. We decided to stay for the evening and had no problem with excessive noise. However, the place is chargeable: from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., €1.50 per hour, €10 day ticket. Payment is possible at the machine or via the app. It was fine just for sleeping and enjoying a coffee with a great view.
Supervised parking area with space for motorhomes. It has a superb view of the lake and is not far from a small beach and a restaurant. However, there was a lot of noise all night because of the busy road and the railway line.
There are 2–3 spaces for vehicles over 6 m, up to 7 m. On weekends in mid-April, it is always full until late evening.
Great parking area; overnighting without camping behavior is even permitted according to the sign. Directly on the lake. There are a few benches and a rubbish bin. A 6 m motorhome fits exactly in the marked spaces. The only drawback is that there is naturally some traffic on the lakeside road.
Great spot with a dreamlike view of the lake. We were completely alone, and it also has a rubbish bin and benches. It is under video surveillance, and the police were not interested in us. In Lierna, five minutes away, Sisters Café has the best Italian breakfast. It doesn’t get more Italian than this!
Good for spending the night. Although it is next to the road and you can hear cars passing, the place is very good for this part of Lake Como.
