This is a place of crystal-clear waters and secular trees, where the calmness of nature alternates to an atmosphere of cultural festivals from the surrounding towns. The lake is still a fascinating place and today a trendy one too.
Considered in the past as a melancholic destination, Lake Como has now become a popular resort, and not only among celebrities. This region has been relaunched in the international scene since the Hollywood star George Clooney bought a house here. He established his main residence here and often transformed it in a cinematic set as well by lending his property on the shores of the lake to directors of big blockbuster movies.
It’s not just Mr Clooney how transformed the reputation of this place - Lake Como is where FIAT’s Yaki Elkann and Lavinia Borromeo were also married.
In a short time, the shores of the lake have become very trendy and are a delight for those who love tranquil nature, pure water and quality infrastructure.
Lake Como is also a place of flower and plant shows, gardens, streams crossing magic landscapes and elegant terraces. You can also find numerous nature and cultural itineraries to travel by bicycle or car, with many wine and food stops along the way. Along the shores of the lake you can in fact find many restaurants and shops to taste delicious local products.
Up until a few years ago, Lake Como was a holiday retreat catering to an older clientele, but today it welcomes musicians, writers, intellectuals, designers, sport and entertainment celebrities, who buy old villas to restore them and transform them into opulent residences where to spend holidays and weekends.
Recently the lake has witnessed a renaissance with private residences transformed into exclusive guesthouses or fashionable art galleries for international events and exhibitions.

An apartment on the banks of the lake costs from a minimum of 1300 GBP to 3000 GBP per square meter, while for a villa prices are between 2200 GBP to 4000 GBP per square meter.
