Bellagio and Varenna on Lake Como

Lake Como — lined with palm trees and elegant pastel-colored villas, crowned by snowcapped mountains, and crisscrossed by a fleet of ferries — is a great place to take a break from the intensity of Italy that you find further south. The town of Bellagio is a classy combination of Old World elegance and new world luxury, while Varenna has a romantic waterside promenade, a tiny harbor, and inviting narrow lanes.
