BEACH CLUBS & WATER SPORTS

Lido di Cernobbio: A lakeside pool, restaurant, and cocktail lounge located in the main square of Cernobbio, just steps from Hotel Miralago.

Lido di Lenno: A popular beach club and restaurant further up the lake, near the town of Bellagio.

BRUNATE & VOLTA LIGHTHOUSE

One of the best views of the lake is from the small resort town of Brunate, which can be reached from the city of Como by funicular, a cable railway that has been in operation since 1894. From Brunate, a 30 minute hike will take you to the fabulous view of the lake from the Volta Lighthouse.

TOUR HISTORIC VILLAS

Villa Balbianello: This 18th century villa is famous for its stunning terraced gardens and panoramic views of the lake, so it's no wonder it has served as a backdrop for James Bond and Star Wars films.

Villa Carlotta: A beautiful 17th century villa surrounded by botanical gardens.
