With a backdrop of the Alps, luxuriant flora, and steep hills cascading to villas and gardens reflected in azure water, you can understand why the lakes of northern Italy are famous for their ethereal beauty. Located in Lombardy, the north central region of Italy, the Lakes District is the crown jewel in its northern-most reaches. Of all the lakes, Lake Como is the most heavenly romantic. From the earliest days of the Roman Empire, writers have praised its incomparable lush beauty. Castles and convents were built on its shores in the Middle Ages and villas in the Renaissance and 19th century Romantic period. When hotels were finally constructed, the area became the playground of the wealthy from all over Europe. Today, ferries, hydrofoils, and passenger ships crisscross the lake giving easy access to all of its treasures.

Besides the scenic beauty, there are historical and cultural sites of interest around Lake Como such as Duomo in Como, Como’s Piazza del Duomo and town hall, Basilica of Sant’Abbondio, Villa dell’Olmo, Villa d’Este hotel in Cernobbio, Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo, and Villa Melzi in Bellagio.

Outdoor activities abound on or around the lake (such as bicycling, hiking, boating, fishing, golf, tennis, horseback riding, and tennis) and there are many places to rent equipment or to take a tour via float plane, helicopter, or boats.
