Dreamy Italy Vacations For You

Italy Vacations – Why Is Lake Como is the Best Choice?

Lake Como is a top choice for many travelers planning Italy vacations. As the 3rd largest of all the lakes in Italy, and the deepest in Europe at 400 meters or 1,312 feet, it has been a prime destination for some of the wealthiest Italians and other prominent figures for centuries.

While visiting the many picturesque villages, castles and towers in this Italian lake, you sometimes get the feeling that you are in Tuscany with lush gardens of flowering azaleas and other times like you are somewhere on the Mediterranean coast with sparkling waters and lakeside breezes.

Imagine your perfect Italy vacation…view crystal blue waters from the outdoor terrace of your villa, indulge in the sweet scent of may-lilies and roses while eating your delicious lunch lightly drizzled with the best home-made olive oil.

Motorboat Rental Como

My Story Of a Motorboat Rental
Como, Italy

Let me share with you my experiences of getting a motorboat rental in Como, Italy. There’s a bit of humor, embarrassment, fear, pride and everything in between. Just to clear up…there are no motorboat rentals in the town of Como itself, we rented this cool boat from one of the northern towns.

First off, to begin amateurs like myself are only allowed to rent 40hp boats without a license which are the numbers any long-time boat operators would laugh at. “OMG, that is sloooow!” they say. Second, this was my very first time ever renting a boat let alone driving one.

Visit Tremezzo Italy

Tremezzo Italy is a very small town with a population of just under 1500 people.

Yet, it holds some of Lake Como’s most precious villas including the Villa Carlotta with its lovely gardens and collection of sculptures and a classy 5-star Grand Hotel. In fact, the town is so small that you can cover its entirety by foot in a couple of minutes, walking down its lakeside promenade.

Tremezzo’s highlight is the Villa Carlotta, constructed throughout a fifty year span, beginning near the finish of the 17Th Century. The property grounds are truly stunning, containing over 150 types of rhododendrons and azaleas. Its artwork museum is devoted chiefly to neoclassical artwork and other sculptural masterpieces. To cover slightly different ground, do take the time to also visit the nearby Museum of Agricultural Resources found within an historical greenhouse around the home.

Planning A Lake Como Luxury Vacation

Plan Your Own Lake Como Luxury Vacations And Save A Bundle

Italian lake holidays have always been renowned for their solitude and peace and Lake Como has been a well-known retreat for some of Italy’s wealthiest citizens since the 19th century. Nobility, famous actors, writers, business men and women have purchased or built villas/homes here in order to escape the dense crowds of major cities.

However, quiet and solitude can come at a hefty price, especially when a travel agent does all the planning for you. Luxury trips usually mean luxury mark-up prices and commissions.
