Lake como arguarbly provides the most serene setting in the whole of Italy. Set in the shape of an upside down wish bone, the lake is nestled between huge mountain scenery visible from either side of the lake offering an idyllic backdrop to the dolce vita Italy is so renowned for. The milder temperature the lake enjoys present a comfortable climate to relax and recuperate from gentle lakeside walks to lazy afternoon lunches amidst majestic lakeside scenery. The deep blue waters of the lake offer an enticing invitation for an afternoon dip or for a boat trip to one of the quaint villages that surround it.
