Lake Como has stunning scenery and there is so much to see and do. It has been featured in so many films and is a destination for many socialites and celebrities.  From the breathtaking views of the Grigne mountains, the beautiful Italianate gardens of Villa Carlotta and the pretty towns and narrow streets of Bellagio, Menaggio, Tremezzo and Varenna.

The village of Bellagio is world famous for it's serene setting and water activities. The Pescallo is the perfect spot there for some kayaking or waterskiing. Not to be missed is a mindful stroll through Villa Melzi's magical park. You can visit Via Giuseppe Garibaldi for some shopping, and make your way to the 11th-Century Romanesque Basilica of San Giacomo.

If you are interested in some of the historic sites on offer, a visit to Il Duomo di Como Gothic cathedral is a must. It took hundreds of years to build and is an intriguing blend of architectural styles and is filled with art, frescoes, tapestries and sculptures.

Brunate is a small town located on top of the hill overlooking Como, it is impressive by day and even more fascinating at sunset, when the lights come on and the sky takes on the hues of the setting sun.

You can sunbathe on the shores of the lake and take a boat trip around the shores where you will find exclusive villas. You can visit the dreamy Villa of del Balbianello to see the grandeur captured in films such as Star Wars and Casino Royale.

Why not take a tour of the dungeons and 12th-Century di Vezio or speedboat to Isola Comacina and dine in the middle of Lake Como on a beautiful wooded island. Lake Como is set within beautiful landscape, filled with so much to see and do. Experience it, for it is the only way to immerse yourself in this magical place. Words don't do it justice.
