Lake Como is set in an idyllic landscape of mountains and rugged hillsides and is shrouded in calm. Holidays to Lake Como offer relaxation, inspiration, fresh air and rural peace and quiet. Set in Italy’s northern region of Lombardy, the lake’s shape has been crafted by glacial erosion and there are magnificent views up to the Alps and down to the towns of Como and Lecco on the lake’s southern shore. The key attractions for holidays to Lake Como are simply zigzagging across the waters in the frequent steamers and hydrofoils, swimming in the lake and exploring the small towns, resorts, villas and elegant lakeside promenades. The northern shore is the least populated and offers the greatest tranquillity. The west bank has a string of small but popular resorts.
