WHY COMO Lake Como is famous for its timeless Italian elegance. Nestled in the shadow of the Alps, this iconic destination combines natural beauty, historic charm, and world-class luxury. Unlike the energy of other Italian hot spots like Florence or Rome, Lake Como invites you to slow down, soak in the serene views, and explore centuries-old lakeside villages at your own pace.
WHERE TO STAY The legendary Grand Hotel Tremezzo is a standout, offering timeless glamour with its Art Nouveau design and spectacular views of Bellagio. Whether relaxing by the floating pool or enjoying aperitivos in lush lakeside gardens, every moment here feels cinematic. For something more intimate, Passalacqua - a stunningly restored 18th-century villa - offers just 24 rooms and suites, each exuding classic Italian style with modern comforts.
THINGS TO DO Start your day with a private boat ride across the lake, soaking in the incredible vistas while stopping at historic villas like Villa del Balbianello. Wander the charming cobblestone streets of Bellagio and Varenna, discovering artisanal shops and gelaterias. For active travelers, hiking trails in the surrounding mountains offer breathtaking panoramas, while those seeking relaxation can indulge in world-class spa treatments or wine tastings in nearby vineyards. Let us help you design a trip that’s equal parts indulgent and unforgettable.
