 Languid and slow, the rhythms of the lake, rhythms of a boat afloat, rhythms of a slow-moving automobile cruising the shoreline. It is a throbbing presence felt thoughout the area's countless tiny villages which hint at the glorious past of the Belle Epoque; a past evidenced today by grand hotels and sumptuous villas surrounded by gardens flourishing in the glorious climate. It is, of course, the rhythm of Lago di Como, golden cradle of tranquility granted harried celebrities and tired tourists, a gleaming mirror reflecting the Grigne and the Resegone mountains. The city of Como, internationally famous for its silk fabrics, provides a charming ante-chamber to the lake. DolceVita would like to propose an itinerary to ensure you a visit both stimulating and relaxing at any time of year. Tranquility and calm are the order of the day in this stretch of Lombardy, but there's a great deal to see and do. Permanent points of interest range from the Rockefeller Foundation to the enchanting gardens at Villa Carlotta and the Villa Versace in Moltrasio.
Leaving Como and driving in a westerly direction will take you to Cernobbio (approx. 5 km), site of the renowned Villa d'Este. This is the first of a series of villas surrounded by parks or large gardens. |
