Italy’s gloriously elegant lakes are a dream holiday destination for many. Picture yourself wandering along the cobbled streets of the crystal clear Lake Garda, doing a spot of sightseeing on Lake Maggiore, or sipping prosecco on a deck overlooking the glittering Lake Orta.
BEST LAKE COMO HOTELS
For an Italian holiday with an extra special touch of dolce vita glamour, check into a Lake Como hotel to soak up the glamour of this beautiful region.
One of the most picturesque of Italy's lakes, Lake Como is home to chic restaurants and bars dotting its shores. It's been known as the stomping ground of aristocrats, artists and celebrities for centuries, and boasts an air of sophisticated glamour.
This swanky charm draws all types of tourists, but keen walkers will feel especially at home here amongst the landscapes, with mountain hikes that reward you with stunning panoramas.
If you're looking for a slower-paced stay, lakeside strolls will take you between romantic Italian villages with sloping streets and pretty plazas. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, it’s time to stop in one of the many local restaurants serving mouthwateringly flavoursome fish, caught straight from the lake.
There are a number of wonderful Lake Como hotels to choose from, many with gorgeous decks, terraces and balconies where you can sit back and appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds you.
