Cernobbio, elle, l'assume tout simplement. Pas de foule se bousculant pour la m\u00eame photo, pas de cha\u00eene de boutiques de souvenirs \u2013 juste une place tranquille au bord du lac, des jardins descendant jusqu'\u00e0 l'eau, et un grand h\u00f4tel si c\u00e9l\u00e8bre que les chefs d'\u00c9tat et Hollywood le consid\u00e8rent depuis longtemps comme une seconde maison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C'est le premier v\u00e9ritable village au nord de la ville de C\u00f4me, et il a pass\u00e9 trois si\u00e8cles \u00e0 perfectionner l'art de la richesse discr\u00e8te. On vient \u00e0 Cernobbio pour les villas et les jardins, pour un ap\u00e9ritif avec la lumi\u00e8re qui dore sur l'eau, et pour l'\u00e9tonnante route qui grimpe depuis ses toits jusqu'\u00e0 un sanctuaire en altitude. Cela vaut la peine de ralentir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Un bref historique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cernobbio s'est d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e comme un village de p\u00eacheurs et de tisserands de soie, mais sa fortune a chang\u00e9 au seizi\u00e8me si\u00e8cle lorsque le cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, un puissant dignitaire de l'\u00c9glise originaire de C\u00f4me, a choisi le rivage ici pour une retraite d'\u00e9t\u00e9. Le r\u00e9sultat, con\u00e7u par l'architecte Pellegrino Tibaldi et d'abord connu sous le nom de Villa del Garovo, a donn\u00e9 le ton : \u00e0 partir de ce moment-l\u00e0, Cernobbio est devenue un lieu o\u00f9 les personnes influentes construisaient de belles maisons au bord du lac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nineteenth century sealed its reputation. In 1814 Caroline of Brunswick \u2014 the estranged wife of Britain&#8217;s future George IV \u2014 bought the old cardinal&#8217;s villa and renamed it Villa d&#8217;Este, after a noble line she claimed as ancestors. Silk barons followed, raising grand residences of their own, and by the late 1800s Cernobbio had become a fashionable resort. It has never really stopped being one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">O\u00f9 se trouve Cernobbio sur le lac<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cernobbio se trouve sur la rive ouest, \u00e0 quelques kilom\u00e8tres seulement au nord de C\u00f4me m\u00eame \u2014 assez proche pour y arriver en quelques minutes, assez loin pour donner l'impression d'un lac ouvert plut\u00f4t que d'une ville. Elle se situe au pied du Monte Bisbino, dont le flanc verdoyant s'\u00e9l\u00e8ve abruptement derri\u00e8re la ville, de sorte que le cadre est d'une beaut\u00e9 inhabituelle pour un endroit aussi facile d'acc\u00e8s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parce qu'elle est si proche de la ville, Cernobbio constitue une premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape id\u00e9ale pour quiconque explore le bas lac, avec ses voisines <a href=\"\/fr\/guide-du-lac-de-moltrasio-come\/\">Moltrasio<\/a> juste en amont de la c\u00f4te et <a href=\"\/fr\/guide-du-lac-de-come\/\">C\u00f4me<\/a> un court saut vers le sud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/villa-bernasconi-art-nouveau-cernobbio.jpg\" alt=\"Fa\u00e7ade Art Nouveau de la maison-mus\u00e9e Villa Bernasconi \u00e0 Cernobbio\" class=\"wp-image-6013\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/villa-bernasconi-art-nouveau-cernobbio.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/villa-bernasconi-art-nouveau-cernobbio-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/villa-bernasconi-art-nouveau-cernobbio-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/villa-bernasconi-art-nouveau-cernobbio-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/villa-bernasconi-art-nouveau-cernobbio-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">La fa\u00e7ade Art nouveau de la Villa Bernasconi, aujourd'hui maison-mus\u00e9e \u00e0 Cernobbio.

Villa d&#8217;Este<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most storied address on the lake. Built in the 1560s for Cardinal Gallio and reborn as a luxury hotel in 1873, Villa d&#8217;Este is a legend of European hospitality, its gardens famous for a tiered mosaic nymphaeum and a long avenue of cypresses climbing the hillside. Be honest with your expectations: this is a working five-star hotel, so the interiors and grounds are essentially reserved for guests. Two events do open the gates to the wider world \u2014 the Concorso d&#8217;Eleganza Villa d&#8217;Este, a celebrated classic-car showcase held each spring, and the Ambrosetti economic forum every September, when the villa hosts world leaders and financiers. To understand where it fits among the lake&#8217;s great houses, see our guide to the <a href=\"\/fr\/les-5-meilleures-villas-a-visiter-au-lac-de-come\/\">Les plus belles villas et jardins du lac de C\u00f4me<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Villa Erba<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A grand neo-Renaissance villa built at the end of the nineteenth century by the Erba family and forever linked to the film director Luchino Visconti, who spent childhood summers here \u2014 his mother was a member of the family. Today it serves as an elegant exhibition and conference centre, opening to the public chiefly during events, with rooms dedicated to Visconti&#8217;s memory. Its lakeside park is one of the loveliest in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Villa Bernasconi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A jewel of Italian Liberty, or Art Nouveau, completed in 1906 for the textile magnate Davide Bernasconi and designed by the Milanese architect Alfredo Campanini. Look closely at the fa\u00e7ade and you&#8217;ll find the silkworm&#8217;s life cycle carved into the plaster \u2014 a nod to the fortune that paid for it. Since 2017 it has been a house-museum, one of the few Cernobbio villas you can freely step inside, with stained glass, wrought iron and painted interiors all lovingly restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Piazza Risorgimento et le front de lac<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heart of the town, and the reason so many people fall for it. This broad, caf\u00e9-lined square opens directly onto the water, with the mountains framing the view and ferries drifting past. Order a coffee or an evening aperitivo, watch the light change, and you&#8217;ll understand Cernobbio&#8217;s particular brand of easy elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Mont Bisbino<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour un d\u00e9paysement total, empruntez la route en lacets qui grimpe depuis Cernobbio jusqu'au sommet de 1 325 m\u00e8tres du Monte Bisbino. Au sommet vous attend le petit sanctuaire de la Madonna del Bisbino et un panorama \u00e0 360 degr\u00e9s qui embrasse le lac, les Alpes et la Suisse juste de l'autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la fronti\u00e8re. Vous pouvez y aller en voiture, \u00e0 v\u00e9lo ou \u00e0 pied \u2014 les marcheurs devraient lire notre <a href=\"\/fr\/guide-des-activites-de-plein-air-et-de-randonnee-au-lac-de-come\/\">Guide de randonn\u00e9e du lac de C\u00f4me<\/a> Premi\u00e8rement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planifier votre visite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>J'y arrive.<\/strong> Cernobbio est une excursion facile depuis C\u00f4me en ferry, en bus ou en taxi ; pour les horaires et les itin\u00e9raires, consultez notre <a href=\"\/fr\/ferry-du-lac-de-come-votre-guide-pour-vous-deplacer-sur-le-lac-de-come\/\">guide des bateaux du lac de C\u00f4me<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Id\u00e9al pour.<\/strong> Amateurs de villas et de jardins, \u00e9l\u00e9gantes promenades au bord du lac et une touche de glamour d'antan sans la foule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quand partir.<\/strong> Mai \u00e0 septembre pour des soir\u00e9es chaudes et des jardins ouverts ; printemps et d\u00e9but d'automne pour le Concorso et le forum.
