LAKE OF COMO

Where you can spend beautiful and relaxing holidays??? At the lake!!!

In the last years it has had a grand public success, or for a simple week-end or for a summer holiday. One of the most beautiful lakes in our region is the LAKE OF COMO that together with lake of Lecco forms a upside down Y.

COMO is the most important centre along the lake. It’s a kind and cosy town of province. The famous walk is that coasts the shore: on the left we can admire the wonderful sight of lake with its suggestive blue and on the right a long series of shops, but the most famous are clothes shops, lace and embroidery shops. There are many monuments that render it unique: the cathedral, the town hall or Broletto, the rich civic museum that contains works of priceless value and finally the Sociale Theatre.

Leaving from the pier of Como it is possible to go on a board and to reach Bellagio a little town immerses in the thick vegetation of the lake. Here the life peacefully spends.

BELLAGIO offers superb possibility: walks by horse along the lake or inside the wood that coast the town, excursion on feet, the possibility to relax and admire its villas like Villa Serbelloni and Villa Melzi. They are beautiful and encircled by wonder gardens. The villas are a peculiarity of this area which is rich of them.

Not far from Bellagio there is Varenna.

VARENNA is the centre of meeting among environment, relax and culture. This little village is immersed in the environment between the sight of lake more suggestive and thick and luxuriant woods that encircled it.

It’s a well-known cultural centre with many villas, they are full of splendour and refinement which tell us about old history. Today they are seats of big and important congresses, sometimes international, too. You can find out the antique tradition walking along the streets of village, forgetting the pollution of town, visiting the little shop, too.

YOU CAN IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A WORLD ALL TO FIND OUT.
