Lake Como Itinerary

We propose a Lake Como Itinerary among 3 island and stops that will make for an unforgettable lake vacation. 

Numerous activities for the whole family await in Como and the boroughs that surround it. Follow our suggestions to spend a few days visiting these famous isles with our suggested lake itinerary. 

Let us start at Menaggio, its picturesque historic center is divided in two sides. The upper one shows a clear medieval influence, recognizable by its steep cobbled streets and narrow houses. The lower part is more aristocratic and leans heavily on tourism, including an elegant lakeside promenade and well mantained shoreline.

Here you can find the parish of Santo Stefano, decorated with stucco, and the church of San Carlo dedicated to Borromeo or walk until the panoramic sighting points of Crocetta and the Cadorna Line.

Bellagio is located in a lacustrine branch of Como. It charms visitors with Villa Melzi, XIXth century mansion designed by Giocondo Albertolli, surrounded by English-style gardens and the Serbelloni Park, open to the public and offering guided tours.

Going south, there is Cernobbio, concentrates monuments and exquisite mansions reserved for a VIP vacation.

The Villas of Erba, Bernasconi, Besana and Pizzo will complete experience of this Lake Como Itinerary.
