The Lakes
Luxury Villa Rentals
Italy’s Lakes Region features some of the grandest, most desirable villa rentals in all of Italy. Located on the Swiss-Italian border between the Alps and the Po River, The Lakes region boasts a stunning landscape of hills, valleys and expansive lakes, including the Garda, Maggiore, Iseo and perhaps the most famous, Lake Como, which is just an hour and a half drive from Milan, Italy’s fashion and financial capital.
With one of the unique Lakes Region villas as your home base, you’ll have much to explore in the region. The lakes themselves offer plenty of opportunity for swimming, boating and watersports, while the area’s natural parks have wonderful trails for cycling and hiking. In the winter months, ski and snowboard enthusiasts will love day trips to Bormio and Tonale for their slopes and thermal spas. But most travelers visit in the summer – don’t miss the gorgeous gardens in bloom, wine-tasting tours, or the historic center of Bellagio.
When it comes to dining, the fertile Po River Valley has helped The Lakes region become famous for certain delicacies, such as Gorganzola and Marscapone cheeses, a diverse selection of fine wines, almond-flavored liqueur from the town of Saronno, and all types of rice dishes, especially risotto. Even the famed Stradivarius violins are “home-grown” in The Lakes Region, in the town of Cremona. Such expertise is all a matter of finely tuned tradition.
