Lake Como is a lake of glacial origin in Lombardy, Italy, which is some 47 km (30 miles) long north to south and is Europe's deepest lake at almost 1,350 feet.
Lake Como
The lake is known for its peculiar shape - a Y turned upside down which is due to its three branches, Colico, the northern branch, Lecco, the south east branch and Como, the south west branch.
The third largest lake in Italy, Lake Como is just half an hour from noisy, bustling Milan, a few minutes from the Swiss border and is an ideal venue for family holidays. It commands a striking position in a mountain landscape and its shores are dotted with picturesque villages, luxurious villas and parks.
An oasis of tranquility, Lake Como is the Italian equivalent of Beverley Hills and the list of people who've owned villas here includes George Clooney who has purchased a few properties here. Described by Wordsworth as ‘a treasure which the earth keeps to itself’, the Lake has long been famous for its appearance in the writings of such classical writers as Virgil, Pliny, and Claudian.
In the town of Como, the cathedral here is often cited as the best example of transitional architectural styles, the Piazza San Fedele has many 400-year-old buildings and the basilica is said to be one of the masterpieces of the masters of Como.
