Nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, Lake Como (or Lago di Como in Italian) is a vision of beauty. Shaped like an elegant upside-down Y, the lake’s deep waters reflect the snow-capped peaks and verdant hillsides. Como boasts not just stunning scenery, but also charming towns dripping with history and elegance. Lake Como has been a retreat for the wealthy and famous for centuries, and offers a luxurious escape or a romantic getaway, all against the backdrop of classic Italian charm.
