9Lake Como, Italy

Lake Como combines Italian elegance with spectacular mountain scenery. Historic villas, manicured gardens and elegant lakeside towns surround the deep blue water, creating one of Europe’s most glamorous settings.

A luxury trip can involve staying in a restored historic villa, taking a private boat between Bellagio, Varenna and Como, or enjoying a long Italian lunch overlooking the lake.

The atmosphere is refined rather than flashy, making Lake Como ideal for travellers who appreciate architecture, food and understated luxury.
