What visitors love most about Lake Como.
Lake Como is a beautiful sight. This gorgeous stretch of water is lined with wooded slopes, peppered with beautiful Italian Villas. The lake is long, around 50km, and is shaped like a ‘Y’, so there’s plenty of shoreline to explore and much to see and do during an Italian vacation here. Added to this, the weather is generally mild and it is known for its Mediterranean style climate. It is also very tranquil and is a welcome change from the hustle of the nearby cities.
