Lake Como, or Lago di Como as it is locally known, sits like a shimmering jewel amidst the Lombardy landscape. Harbouring over 146 square kilometres of water, it is the third-largest lake in Italy and fifth deepest in Europe, testament to its glacial past. Beyond its impressive statistics, Lake Como is a true spectacle of natural splendour and historic significance. From Iron Age roots to its recognition as a retreat for the affluent since Roman times, Lake Como is a rich tapestry woven with compelling narratives.

Dotted with architectural masterpieces like Villa Olmo, Villa Serbelloni, and Villa Carlotta, Como exudes aristocratic charm like no other. Furthermore, with an enviable list of residents including stars like George Clooney, Madonna, and Lionel Messi, it's a world-stage for contemporary sophistication. Enjoy sailing, windsurfing and even kitesurfing on this Y-shaped marvel, locally known as the "Larian Triangle". With its subtropical climate, mild winters and warm summers, Lake Como is both an adventurer's playground and a serene retreat.

When to visit Lake Como

Springtime from April to June offers a symphony of colours at Lake Como, with wildflowers in full bloom and the air thick with the scent of new beginnings. It's the ideal period to visit, offering warm temperatures and less crowd, ensuring a tranquil yet invigorating experience. The lesser influx of tourists also means cost savings, a delightful bonus to an already extraordinary holiday.

However, the charm of Lake Como is not limited to just spring. June brings with it exciting festivals and events that celebrate art, culture, and Italy's unrivalled flair. Venture onto the lake by public ferry or guided tours and experience Lake Como in all its magnificence. While the winter months from November to February are quieter with many facilities closed, each season in Lake Como offers a unique flavour of this iconic Italian retreat.
