Just half an hour from noisy, bustling Milan, Lake Como is a jewel-like oasis of tranquility, a magical combination of lush Mediterranean foliage and snowy alpine peaks. One of the best vantage points for this breathtaking view is in Piazza Cavour, on the banks of the lake in the town of Como. At the heart of Como’s walled Old Town, Piazza San Fedele has many four hundred year odl buildings and the basilica. As you travel north you’ll see Como’s only island, Isola Comacina.

Lake Como is renowned for its exquisite villas and probably the most famous one, the Villa Carlotta, a perfect combination of luxurious interiors (beautiful stuccos, lovely ceiling frescoes, and a great art collection, including an Eros and Psyche by Antonio Canova) and exteriors.

Varenna may be the most picturesque town on the lake, its steep winding alleys lined with charming homes, flowering balconies, and lace-curtained windows.

On the southern shore is Bellaggio, “La Perla del Lago” (“The Pearl of the Lake”), considered by many to be the most beautiful town in all of Europe. Its narrow cobbled streets, breathtaking views, and glorious villas make it an enchanting spot.
