The Italian Lakes are renowned for their outstanding beauty, with shimmering blue waters surrounded by lush green forests, and Lake Como in particular has a lot to offer coach trip visitors to its picturesque shores.
Dramatic mountain scenery reflecting in still crystal clear azure waters make Lake Como one of the most romantic settings in the world.
Italy’s third largest lake, which forks through the Lombardy region, is home to some of the most seductive landscapes in the world, only interrupted by pretty lakeside towns and palatial villas which continue to attract A-List celebrities. The ferry runs from Hotel Bazzoni across the lake to the village of Bellagio, known for its elegant architecture, quaint cobbled streets and beautiful tourist treasures like the Tower of the Arts.
Or why not take a stroll along the lakeside to Villa Carlotta, a stunning art museum, to immerse yourself in the luscious botanical garden or the rich collection of artwork inside!
A scintillating place oozing Italian style and charm that will have you in the palm of its hand throughout your entire coach break.
Beautiful Lake Como.
At the foothills of the Alps, Lake Como is the deepest and one of the most beautiful in Europe. Described by Wordsworth as ‘A treasure which the earth keeps to itself’ it has long been a popular haunt of the rich and famous and has been used as the backdrop of many films, including Star Wars and Casino Royale.
It has the resorts of Menaggio, Tremezzo, Cadenabbia and Lenno situated on the sunny western shore, with Bellagio perched on the promontory that divides Como and Lecco. Bellagio and Menaggio are the largest resorts with a buzzing cosmopolitan atmosphere with quaint, cobbled alleyways and café-filled piazzas. The adjacent villages of Tremezzo and Cadenabbia hug the road from Como to Switzerland and provide great bases for exploring.
With impressive scenery and a relaxing ambience, this stunning region is the perfect coach holiday destination.
