Como is the capital and main city of the area around the lake, the point where one usually arrives as the first destination to then explore villages, nature and historic villas. Como is ideal as a base to stay for one or more nights or as starting and arrival point for those who decide to visit the lake for a day. Don't miss the narrow streets in the historic center, the walks on the lake and the viewpoint from Brunate, reachable by funicular.

Cernobbio, the first town you come across from Como going north towards Switzerland, has always been a famous tourist destination. The center of Cernobbio is characterized by a square and a very charming lakeside promenade. In Cernobbio there are two of the best-known villas on Lake Como. Villa Erba is a villa that was built at the beginning of the 1900s by the noble Erba family, surrounded by a huge park, and today hosts an exhibition centre. Villa d'Este is today one of the most well-known 5-star hotels in all of Italy. The hotel maintains a very classic style, in its architecture and service: entering this luxurious residence feels like taking a leap into the past.

Moltrasio, Carate Urio and Laglio are three villages located on the left side of the western branch of Lake Como. Their shores are characterized by a multitude of villas and gardens, mostly visible from the lake. This area is also recommended for those looking for a relaxing place to stay for a few nights and fully enjoy the peace of Lake Como.

Blevio and Torno are two small villages on the right side of the western branch of Lake Como. The banks of Blevio are characterized by a multitude of historic villas, currently used as residential complexes, hotels or private structures. Torno is one of the many characteristic villages of Lake Como, less known than Bellagio or Varenna, and therefore suitable for those who want to enjoy a very local experience.
