Lake Como
Mesmerized by its majestic beauty, Virgil, also refered to as the father of Roman poetry, hailed Lake Como as “our grandest lake”, a proclamation that echoes through the centuries.
Exuding a unique blend of glamour and discretion, this ancient Roman holiday destination has lost none of its allure.
Its exultant and glittering personality has always been on display as a perpetual haven for Nobility, countless artists, Hollywood, world leaders and gourmands.
Verdi composed La Traviata at Lake Como, Shelley, Puccini and Rossini found inspiration here. Alfred Hitchcock chose to make his very first film The Pleasure Garden on the verdant grounds of the Villa d’Este in 1925. Napoleon stayed here. Winston Churchill stayed here, John F. Kennedy also. Anf of course George Clooney…
But beneath its aura of mystique lies a humble side that deserves as much fanfare as its flashier counterpart.
