Alpine mountains and romantic 19th century
villas, Como is perhaps the best known lake
in the Lake District. Its unique microclimate

Lake Maggiore
Maggiore is a
magical glacial lake anchoring the mountains
that approach the Italian Alps. Smaller than
its cosmopolitan cousin, Lake Maggiore has a
more quiet and laid back allure. The lake
features the three Borromeo
islands, named for the noble Borromeo family who lovingly turned
them into magical retreats with elaborate villas and
lovely gardens.
