On the shores of Lake Como, nature, history and art mingle in a picture of changing hues, from which to admire moorland landscapes, manicured gardens, medieval villages and elegant villas. A land that captivates with its discreet charm and that we recommend visiting so as not to miss the magic of a body of water glowing with beauty.
It is the town after which the lake is named and one of the top tourist destinations in northern Italy. Less than an hour's drive from Milan, it attracts with its cobblestone streets, elegant villas and medieval buildings that are inextricably linked to the surrounding scenic beauty. Moving away from the center, thanks to the Como-Brunate funicular railway, there are breathtaking views of the lake.

Isola Comacina is a small gem easily accessible from Ossuccio, a village on the western shore of Lake Como. Inhabited only by its guardian, this island deserves to be visited for the natural and archaeological beauty it preserves: here, you can find breathtaking scenery and unspoiled nature, but also the remains of the Basilica of Sant'Eufemia, a building dating back to the 11th century and one of the most emblematic examples of Como's Romanesque style.
Called the pearl of the lake because of its elegance, Bellagio juts out on the headland that divides Como from Lecco in a position of enchanting beauty. Between landscapes and villas, alleys and stairways, boutiques and restaurants, this village is admired by worldwide tourists for glimpses of great charm.
Its fame is intimately linked to The Betrothed, one of the most famous masterpieces of Italian literature, whose events are partly set in this area of Lake Como. But Lecco is also worth visiting for its scenic lakefront, the bell tower of the basilica of San Nicolò, from which to admire views of the surrounding area, and the monumental traces of a story deeply welded to the Visconti family.
Lake Como is not only about elegant villas and luxurious resorts. It is also, and above all, fascinating landscapes and unspoiled nature. Proof of this is the Orrido di Bellano, a natural gorge created millions of years ago by the erosion work of the waters of the Pioverna stream and the Adda glacier. Today, it can be visited thanks to an easily accessible footbridge, which hooks between the rock walls and provides fabulous views.
