A stone ?s throw away from Switzerland, the waters of Como Lake contribute to the charm of the region, a region with a mild climate which is stuck between the shores and the mountains. A destination for elite tourism in its time, the lake was chosen as a holiday spot by noblemen and foreigners, who, through the centuries, built a number of villas displaying refined architecture. An elegant Italian garden surrounds the Villa d'Este in Cernobbio, which was once a stately home and today is a luxury hotel. Villa Carlotta, between Tremezzo and Cadenabbia, is home to an extremely precious artistic treasure that was bequeathed by Giorgio Clerici, the president of the Lombardy Senate who had it built in the 18th Century. The works of Antonio Canova, Bertel Thorvaldsen and Hayez are all kept in its little museum. Be it the churches of Ancient Rome or the cobbled lanes, all the villages around the lake deserve a visit. By car or by boat, you must not forget to stop off at Bellagio, the city located between the two arms of the lake.
