Lake Como
Villa gardens on a glacial lake, reachable from Milan in an hour.
Lake Como is a Y-shaped glacial lake with villa gardens along its shore and mountains straight up from the water. Bellagio and Varenna carry the crowds; the Sacro Monte di Ossuccio above the western shore carries the UNESCO listing and almost none of them.
6.8 million overnight stays across the lake, up 10.5% year on year2025
