THE VILLAS OF LAKE COMO

The beauty of the natural landscape and the particularly warm climate of Lake Como made its shores an excellent place to live for important ancient families. They left as testimony wonderful Villas and Botanical Gardens that are visited by international travellers today.

Today this tradition is continued by many famous people such as the Versace family and the actor George Clooney.

One of the most famous villas is Villa Carlotta with its rare botanical gardens and the statues of Canova. Others are the panoramic Villa Balbianello where many famous movies have been filmed, Villa d'Este known today for being a luxury property, Villa Melzi, Villa Pliniana, Villa Pisani Dossi and many others.

Taking a boat excursion will allow you to visit some of the Villas and to stop in Bellagio, Tremezzo and the Comacina Island.
