Lake Como is one of Europe’s most complete golf destinations — and one of its most underrated. Within an hour of the lake, there are ten courses of widely varying character: a historic 1907 layout on the hillside above Menaggio, a celebrated 1926 private club through ancient woodland at Montorfano, Italy’s largest golf complex at…

There is no better way to see Lake Como than from the water. The villas, the gardens, the villages arranged along the shore — from a private boat, it all reveals itself differently. The proportions change. The scale becomes clear. And the lake, which from land feels like a backdrop, suddenly becomes the centre of…

Lake Como from the water is one thing. Lake Como from above is another entirely. The mountains, the villas, the villages arranged along the shoreline, the deep blue-green of the lake itself — from a rooftop, it all comes together in a way that no ferry ride or lakeside terrace can replicate.

Most visitors to Lake Como come for the villas, the hotels, and the views. The serious traveler comes also for the wine. Lake Como wine is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets — a small, high-quality production from terraced hillside vineyards that has been quietly improving for decades and is only now beginning to attract the…

Golf on Lake Como is a different experience from any other golf destination in Europe. The courses here are not resort layouts designed for casual vacationers. They are historic, demanding, and set against a backdrop — Alpine mountains, deep blue water, ancient villages — that makes it genuinely difficult to concentrate on your swing. There…

Lake Como has a long and distinguished tennis history. Wealthy British and German travelers built courts here in the late 19th century, and the tradition continues today. Tennis on Lake Como means clay courts, alpine views, and the kind of setting that makes it genuinely difficult to focus on the ball. Whether you want a…

Choosing the right Lake Como luxury hotel is the single most important decision you will make for your trip. Get it right and every morning feels like a painting. Get it wrong and you spend your holiday stuck in traffic, queuing for ferries, or staying in a beautiful place that is completely wrong for what…
