Lap up the mountain panoramas, Renaissance villas and delicious freshwater lavarello fish on holidays to Lake Como.

It's for good reason that George Clooney moved into a holiday crib on Lake Como in northern Lombardy.  Cobbled towns like blissful Bellagio and walled Como Town edge the glassy, glacial expanse. The snow-capped Italian Alps are always in view as you ferry between neoclassical lakeside residences like Villa Melzi.

Best of Lake Como holidays for...

  • Grown-up families: You'll feel like an aristocrat as you sashay through the gardens of Villa Carlotta past statues and rock features on Lake Como holidays.
  • Shopping: Boutiques in main towns like Menaggio ooze Italian chic. Pick up locally woven silk and window shop for designer brands like Prada.
  • Active types: The vast 145sq m lake has plenty of space for novice windsurfers to practise. Head to Domaso to catch some gentle alpine breezes.
