The Property — La Pusianella
La Pusianella is a straightforward three-star hotel on the tranquillo lakeside of Pusiano, built for travellers who value peace and simple comfort over fuss. The lobby is compact, clean and functional — tiled floors, a small reception desk, a rack of local brochures — with a back terrace that looks straight onto the water. It suits couples or solo walkers who want a quiet base for exploring the lakes of Brianza without the crowds or cost of Como. You check in, drop your bag, and are across the road and onto the lake path in under three minutes.
Chronicles of Pusiano
Pusiano is a small lakeside commune in Lombardy, originating as a medieval fishing settlement on the shores of Lago di Pusiano. The town grew slowly around its Romanesque church, San Lorenzo, and later became known for its role in the 19th-century silk industry that powered the Brianza region. Architecturally, it remains modest: a single piazza, a handful of stone villas, and a long lakeside promenade built for strolling rather than spectacle. Today, Pusiano is part of the Parco della Valle del Lambro and draws visitors for its quiet water sports, cycling, and the nearby 16th-century Villa Sormani. Culturally, it’s a place where locals still fish and row, and where tourism is a sideline, not the main event.
Best Time to Visit
Full Pusiano guide →Best months
June, September and early October offer settled weather (20–28°C), low rainfall and the lake at its most pleasant, with far fewer day-trippers than nearby Como or Lecco.
Peak / festival surge
August is the peak month, driven by Italian summer holidays (Ferragosto, 15 August) and school breaks. The lake gets busier with families and weekenders from Milan; hotel prices at La Pusianella can rise 20–30% above shoulder rates. Book by March if you want a lake-view room.
Budget shoulder season
May and September offer the best budget window: temperatures are mild (15–24°C), crowds thin, and room rates drop 10–15% from August highs. September also brings the local chestnut harvest and quieter cycling on the Lambro valley trails.
Weather & packing
Even in high summer, Lake Pusiano can get a brisk evening breeze off the water. Pack a light jacket or fleece for after sundown, and comfortable walking shoes — the lake path is gravel and can be muddy after rain.
Live City Briefing — Pusiano
- From spring 2026, the Ciclovia della Brianza cycle route connecting Pusiano to Erba and Lambrate station in Milan should be fully open; check local tourist info for the final segment near Bosisio Parini.
- The lakeside public swimming area (lido) in nearby Bosisio Parini is scheduled for a new floating dock installation by June 2026 — confirm opening dates before relying on it for a swim.
- Construction on the SP639 provincial road, which runs along the lake's eastern side, is ongoing through summer 2026; expect single-lane traffic and minor delays between Pusiano and Cesana Brianza during weekdays.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Pusianella, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor, specifically the rooms located at the rear of the building (away from Via Giuseppe Mazzini). This will minimize potential street noise from the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the second floor, as they are more prone to noise from the main entrance and stairs, especially if you're a light sleeper.
Best views
Unfortunately, there's no information on the hotel's orientation or view options, but rooms on the second floor may have a better view of the surrounding area.
Quietest floors
The first floor is likely to be quieter due to its distance from the main entrance and Via Giuseppe Mazzini.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that Via Giuseppe Mazzini is a main road, and you may hear some traffic noise, especially during peak hours. Additionally, the lack of a lift may mean more foot traffic on the stairs.
Insider tips
When checking in, be prepared to climb stairs, as there is no lift in the hotel. It's a good idea to plan ahead and ask for assistance if you have heavy luggage. If you're driving, consider using the Parcheggio Comunale di Pusiano public car park, as the on-street parking on Via Roma may be limited, and the hotel does not have on-site parking.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Find train tickets →Milan Cadorna station (or Centrale) → Pusiano (via Erba or Lecco)
💡 Take the Milan Cadorna–Erba line (50 min, €5.20). From Erba station, it's a 10-min taxi (€15-20) to La Pusianella. Cheaper than direct taxis, and the lake views from the train window are lovely.
