Welcome to Lake Como, the preferred vacation getaway for royalty and aristocrats of the past and the jetset of today. A glacial lake bordered by the foothills of the Alps, the area offers stunning views of the mountains overlooking crystal blue waters. Lake Como offers the best as a mix of gorgeous countryside and the most exclusive luxury services.
Lake Como is the deepest lake in all of Europe. With over one hundred mile of perimeter, there is a wealth of lakeside areas to explore. Shaped like an upside-down letter Y, it has various and varied areas on each of its legs available to tour. It’s one of the largest and most famous lakes in Italy.
