Como

In an atmosphere that recalls Romanticism and the Belle Epoque, Como represents a changing and varied destination. Nature, art and history make the view of the lake unique and enchanting. The lake, of glacial origin, is the deepest in all of Italy and there are countless fairytale villages and farmhouses overlooking its shores. Steep hills and mountainous slopes, plunging into the lake, create unique panoramas, accessible through walks, bike rides and real excursions on steep and steep paths.
