Where to Stay in Lake Como
Where alpine grandeur meets Italian elegance
Grand villas, mirror-still waters, and the most glamorous lake in Europe — George Clooney's neighborhood.
Travel Guide
Lake Como has been the destination of choice for aristocrats, artists, and romantics since Roman times. Nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, the lake's dramatic Y-shape creates microclimates that support lemon groves and palm trees at the same latitude as Montreal. The villages of Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio are connected by ferry and each offers a distinct character. Grand hotels like Villa d'Este and Grand Hotel Tremezzo have hosted royalty for centuries, while boutique properties in converted lakeside villas offer intimate luxury with private docks.
