3. LAKE
COMO
Lake Como (Lago di Como) is one of the famous Italian Lakes destinations, not far
from Milan (50 km) in the north of Italy. Lake Como is long (50km), slender and
extremely deep. The southern end forks into two long 'legs', with the picturesque
town of Bellagio situated on the promontory between them.
Like the other Italian Lakes, Lake Como has been popular as a resort since the days of
the Roman Empire. Visitors ever since have admired the blue waters and relaxed in
luxurious villas in the wooded lakeside slopes above. Today, most of the towns
around the shores of Lake Como are popular with tourists, walkers, cyclists and
swimmers.

4. COMO
Como is a lively and pleasant town with an appealing historical centre and a scenic
location at the southern end of the east branch of Lake Como. The impressive
cathedral (Duomo), like most in Italy, was built and added to over a period of
centuries, so you can admire Gothic and Renaissance features including some fine
tapestries and paintings. The town's earlier cathedral (built in the tenth century), San
Fedele, is another fine sight, as are the tall nine-hundred-year-old gateway, Porta
Vittoria, and the Romanesque church Sant'Abbondio. The town's art gallery
(Pinacoteca) is also worth a visit. For a short trip out of town, take the funicular up to
the top of the hill above Como, where you can enjoy spectacular views.

7. LAKE
MAGGIORE
Lake Maggiore is one of the most beautiful Italian lakes and has enchanted the great
Italian and foreign artists who have stayed here. It is believed to be the largest of the
pre-Alpine lakes, hence the name "Maggiore", it is of glacial origin and its banks are in
Lombardy, Piedmont and Switzerland. Surrounded by mountains and hills that
shelter it from the cold northern winds, the lake has the Ticino River among its
tributaries, a historic water route connecting the Po Valley to Central Europe.

8. STRESA
The famous town of Stresa (Italy, 5000 inhabitants) enjoys a splendid location on Lake
Maggiore in the Gulf of Borromeo, where it overlooks the eponymous islands, the
main attraction in the region. Its beautiful countryside, architectural gems and mild
climate combine to make Stresa one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy.
The Borromean Islands, with their stunning palaces and ornamental gardens, are an
unmissable destination for aesthetes.
Luxury villas and opulent Art Nouveau hotels line the elegant lakeside, which is ideal
for a tranquil stroll. Since the late 19th century Stresa has been renowned for its
sophisticated atmosphere and genteel visitors, and today still enjoys an impressive
roster of cultural, musical and meeting events.

the centre of Stresa and directly facing the
Borromean Islands, the hotel represents a
fine example of prestige both in the hotel
world and historically speaking. The four-star
Regina Palace hotel that opened in 1908, still
preserves its fin de siècle fascination, even
though it has a renewed appearance as a
result of a meticulous, albeit conservative
refurbishment programme.
The unique combination of charm and
modernity will render a stay in one of the 214
rooms or suites - all furnished with period
pieces and equipped with every facility -
totally unforgettable.

11. LAKE
GARDA
One of the most beautiful and naturally peaceful spots in Europe - with a backdrop of
the Dolomites on one side and neat rows of vines on the other - Lake Garda has been
a refuge for writers in search of inspiration and stressed out emperors and their
hangers-on for millennia. The region's popularity with wealth and power is reflected
in the variety and beauty of the lake's resort towns, which the lake's fans, from 16th
Century poets to modern A-listers, proclaim aren't just the best places to stay on Lake
Garda, they're also the most idyllic in Europe.

12. LAZISE
The small town on the south-eastern shore has a particular atmosphere. The old
town centre, which can be reached via three gates is surrounded by city walls dating
from the 14th century. During the Venetian reign Lazise was an important trading
place. Today old fishing boats can be admired alongside modern yachts in the small
harbour right in the middle of town. There is a wide selection of restaurants, cafes
and bars around the big piazza as well as along the waterfront. In the pretty narrow
lanes many shops such as delicatessens, jewellers, art galleries, shoe shops and first
class ice-cream parlours can be found.
