Luxury Lake Como Holidays

The luxe lake

Lake Como

Holidays in Lake Como bring you dramatic mountains, traditional towns full of colourful buildings and a sparkling lake just waiting to be discovered. It’s the ideal place for couples, families and explorers alike, with its stunning natural scenery, pretty villages and water sports and activities.

Spend your days on the golden sandy beach and soak up the sun and beautiful surroundings before heading to one of the towns for a delicious traditional Italian dinner. Active holidaymakers can hike, mountain bike or even horse ride through the surrounding mountains, or hit the water with sailing, kayaking, water skiing and lots more. Wander through the succulent gardens of the town or soak in the history of the area at museums and art galleries. Architecture lovers will find plenty to keep them occupied, while celebrity spotters might see one of the many stars who own homes here. If you want to explore further you can combine your trip with another of the Italian Lakes and discover more of the area.
