About this ebook
Lake Como is a name you will often hear from friends or read in travel blogs if you are planning a vacation in Italy. The third-largest lake in Italy is a hit amongst vacationers, and there are plenty of reasons behind it. So, let’s underline everything that you would like to know about the area before reaching a vacation decision.
This guide embraces the Lake Como, and the towns of Como, Bellagio, Menaggio, and Varenna, in addition to the one-day trips you can make from one of these towns to Piona, Villa Carlotta, and Villa del Balbianello.
Where exactly is it?
The Lake has a glacial origin and is in the region of Lombardy, Italy. Lake Como, located between Milan and the border of Switzerland, is considered one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy.
Why is it so famous?
Those who are unfamiliar with the charm of Lake Como often wonder why it garners so much attention. Why people fly from all around the world to see just a lake? The answer to the query is that Lake Como is not just any lake. It is marked by one of the best properties, natural beauty, mountains, picturesque villages, adventure sports options, and, last but not least, pure luxury of Lake Como holiday villas.
Apart from the cultural heritage of historic villas and waterfront cottages, the area also offers plenty of scope for outdoor activities like hiking, trekking, and biking. The lake itself provides avenues of kite surfing, sailing, yachting, windsurfing, and fishing. Ladies especially fall in love with the boutiques that mark the place, and men with golfing in the area.
Who visits Lake Como?
Vacationers from all around the world that crave a quaint, peaceful holiday in the lap of nature frequent the hot holiday spot. The rich and famous, too, chose the lake to spend time away from the flashlights. Celebrities like Madonna, George Clooney, Ronaldinho, Sylvester Stallone, and Richard Branson maintain holiday homes near the shores of the lake. If you, too, are looking forward to a similar experience, then Lake Como Villas for rent are readily available.
This guide embraces the lake, and the towns of Como, Bellagio, Menaggio, and Varenna, in addition to the one-day trips you can make from one of these towns to Piona, Villa Carlotta, and Villa del Balbianello.
There are extensive descriptions and photos of the attractions.
This guide contains links to the websites of train and navigation companies, so you can check the latest schedule and buy the tickets.
