In 2014 The Huffington Post named Como the most beautiful lake in the world for its magnificent views, prestigious villas and picture-square villages. It has countless villas and palaces, such as famous Villa Balbianello.
Lake Como has been a popular retreat for aristocrats and wealthy people since Roman times, and a very popular tourist attraction with many artistic and cultural gems. In fact, ‘Casino Royale’ was shot in Lago di Como – just in front of Villa Balbianello, one of the major tourist attractions in 146 km-Lago di Como area. I immediately thought it looks like a scene from James Bond movie. I saw Torno, one of the villages, from the high way and immediately though this is the place I want to spend my holiday in.Įverything appeared to be as beautiful as I imagined it to be. I think my desire to visit Lago di Como emerged during our great come back from the French Alps in March 2015.
