There’s arguably no better way to experience the beauty of Italy’s Lombardy region than from the balcony or master suite of one of Lake Como‘s most impressive villas. Settling into a home you can make your own, even if just for a night or two, can elevate a holiday and allow you to see a place through the eyes of those that live there. Bellisimo. Whether you want traditional Italian grandeur or modernity and floor to ceiling glass windows (all the better to see you with, landscape) there’s a villa to suit. From the romantic to the outlandish, the quaint to the expansive, these are our favorite villas and Airbnbs in Lake Como. Each is chosen for its aesthetic, charm and—importantly—location, to ensure your stay in one of Italy’s most picturesque destinations is as idyllic as you imagined.
