LAKE COMO HOLIDAY RENTALS              coming soon  

Thoughts of Lake Como......too  many to mention.  Lake Como is the most popular and most beautiful Italian lake. Set against a backdrop of enchanting alpine vistas. Palatial villas line its shores, the flora drapes in shoreline and pretty lakeside villages where wisteria, and rose-laden belvederes frame the scenery

 

Lake Como is 30 miles long and is also Europe's deepest lake reaching depths of over 400 metres. It's located only 30 minutes driving distance from Milan.  Whilst based at Lake Como it's best to travel by water when needed, or perhaps best to find one idyllic location and stay there....pure bliss. 

 

We are excited to be able to offer an incredible and exclusive range of beautiful apartments on the lake shore or in the verdant hills above the lake, however, one can be sure that a lake view, terrace and some with pools, is guaranteed!  Lake Como is classed as one of the most stunning areas of natural beauty in Europe and not difficult to see why.  Beautiful villages line the shore line, Bellagio, Tremezo, Cernobbio Varenna and not forgetting of course Laglio.................where a certain Mr. Clooney lives !!   Another good reason to visit!

 

Apart from the natural beauty of Lake Como and its delightful Villas & Gardens, the lake has been famous for many centuries for its production of silk. There are also delightful Romanesque churches to discovered around the Lake shore.
