Discover Lake Como — Private Tours, Experiences & Custom Travel

Overview

Located in Northern Italy on the border of Switzerland, Lake Como is a lake of glacial origin in Lombardy, Italy. It has an area of 146 km², making it the third largest lake in Italy, after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore.Surrounded by mountains and skirted by what seems to be an unending chain of medieval churches, opulent villas and magnificent gardens, Lake Como offers visitors some of the most spectacular scenery in the whole of Italy.

The town of Cernobbio is often the first stop visitors make, as they travel along the lakeside "Strada Regina" road. It was here, in the beautiful Villa Erba that the famous film director, Luchino Visconti, was brought up. Cernobbio is a popular lakeside celebrity hang out, where stars of both the large and small screen, can often be seen, in the stylish Piazza Rinascimento.
 
Montrasio is a maze of little lanes, in which the 11th century Romanesque church of Sant' Agatatakes pride of place. Set in a lovely terrace garden, next to the church, the 18th century Villa Passalacqua merits a photo or two.
