Ultra Luxury Lake Como Holidays

Lake Como is the perfect escape for all types of travelers. Whether you’re seeking relaxation on sun-kissed beaches, exploring magnificent gardens, or indulging in fine dining and world-class shopping, Lake Como offers a perfect blend of relaxation, culture and adventure.

In the summer, the lakeside beaches are an idyllic retreat where visitors can unwind under the sun or partake in water sports like sailing and windsurfing. Though popular beaches in towns such as Como and Bellagio can become crowded, arriving early ensures a spot on the sand, or alternatively, guests can enjoy the comfort and luxury of reserved sunbeds at the lake’s exclusive lidos.

Beyond its beaches, Lake Como is home to some of the most stunning historical estates in Italy. Between mid-March and November, visitors can explore renowned villas such as Villa del Balbianello (where the 2006 James Bond movie, Casino Royale, was filmed), Villa Melzi with its lush gardens, and Villa Monastero, one of the main historical and environmental sites, showcasing a masterpiece of architecture that houses a museum and botanical gardens. A vision of true beauty when in full bloom! Many of these villas also host classical music events or guided tours during the summer, and some hold special openings occasionally in the off-season, making it a year-round cultural experience for those planning to visit during the winter months.

For those with a love for the outdoors, the hills surrounding Lake Como offer hundreds of scenic hiking trails suited to all skill levels. These trails often pass by charming restaurants where visitors can savor authentic local cuisine while surrounded by unparalleled views. For a unique cultural experience, a visit to the Silk Museum in Como is a must, providing fascinating insights into the town’s centuries-old silk-making heritage that dates back to the 12th century.

The historic town center of Como itself is a treasure trove of architectural wonders. Dominated by the awe-inspiring Duomo di Como, one of the last Gothic cathedrals in Italy, the city also boasts the Teatro Sociale, a stunning example of Italian neoclassical architecture. Strolling through Via Vittorio Emanuele II, shoppers can browse boutiques that specialize in exquisite silk goods - a tribute to the region’s historical connection to silk production, with items like handkerchiefs and scarves made from locally grown mulberry trees. The silk produced from the mulberry trees are recognised the world over as the best quality.

Lake Como is not just for the culture and history enthusiasts; it offers luxury accommodations that elevate the experience. Resorts around the lake feature glamorous marble bathrooms, floating pools, and private waterfront balconies, ensuring every guest enjoys a serene and indulgent stay. Whether you are visiting with family, as a couple, or solo, Lake Como promises unique experiences, from peaceful boat rides to exploring its picturesque villages, making it an unforgettable Italian getaway.
