Lago di Como…undoubtably one of the most stunningly beautiful places on Earth. But you haven't truly seen it ‘til you've seen it from the water. The cool clear lake, the imposing mountains, the quaint villages, the posh villas…they all hit different from the comfort of an Italian speedboat, spritz in hand.
Considered a Tourists Must See!
At the centre of Lake Como, on the bluff overlooking Varenna, standing for more than a thousand years is the Vezio Castle where the history, art, nature and culture of the area have blended in perfect harmony in a landscape of unparalleled natural beauty. In this old military outpost, you can visit the gardens, the dungeons and the walls, wander among the works of art, climb the tower that contains a permanent exhibition about the Lariosaurus and from where you will enjoy a magnificent 360 degree view of the lake.
Beautiful square with an epic name. Worth a visit!
The Villa, owned by the Province of Lecco, is one of the main historical and environmental sites in the area, thanks also to its privileged position. The complex is made up of the villa itself, which has now been transformed into a museum and is also home to an internationally renowned conference centre, and the splendid botanical garden that surrounds it and extends for almost two km along the lake shore.
