Top 20 Lake Como, Milan vacation rentals & luxury serviced apartments

The Italian lakes bring to mind all sorts of romance. Como in particular is often referred to as the most beautiful lake in the world, with its prealpine hills, microclimate, and the beautiful towns that skirt the shore. The magic of the place has not gone unnoticed, and the lake pops up in various writings by Hemingway, Manzoni, and Stendhal, to name but a few of the writers taken in by its waters. More recently, it’s become known for the celebrities that own property in the area. Madonna, George Clooney, and Gianni Versace have all had homes there. While the town of Como is in its own province, it’s only forty minutes on the train from Milano Centrale, and Malpensa airport – the largest in the north of Italy – is actually closer to the lake than the city.
