Lake Como Holidays

Lake Como, Italy, is not only spectacular but rich in history and tradition. From Milan to the foothills of the Alps, Lake Como is the heart of Italian romance and history.

It’s widely believed that Lake Como is one big Italian party for the rich, with little to offer for anyone else. Despite the tangible luxury, spectacular villas and Michelin starred restaurants, there is also plenty to do and see on Lake Como for both couples and families.

Staying on Lake Como’s shores is wonderful, but taking to the water is even better. The best way to acquaint yourself with the lake is probably to take a ferry around its heart, between Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio and Cadenabbia. From your vessel you will be able to admire buildings such as Villa Carlotta and Villa Tremezzo in all their grandeur, standing sparkling and erect against Como’s sloping hillsides. The gulfs and promontories of the lake make for constantly changing views, presenting you with a vibrant kaleidoscope of vivid Italy.
