Pro Tip

😎

Gelato is a must at Lake Como, try a new gelateria every day! Instagram you and your favorite flavors, especially while wearing matching pastels.

Things To Do In Lake Como

Girls Trip

DAY

You and your girls are in Italy to enjoy the finer things in life—spa services, great Italian cuisine, and wine.

Book yourself into some treatments at Lake Como’s premiere spa resort, the Mandarin Oriental.

A relaxing foot therapy, invigorating massage, or oriental body scrub will have you feeling like new. Spread over 1,300 sqm, this spa features two private spa suites, one beauty studio, and a fitness center.

EVENING

Next, head to Il Sereno Al Lago for dinner where you will be seated directly overlooking the water.

There are three tasting menus: “Classici”, five dishes of Italian cuisine reinterpreted in a modern way; “Contrasti”, seven dishes based on contrasting flavors and gastronomic cultures; and “Vegetables, tubers and roots”, seven dishes that make seasonal vegetables the star of the show.

Pair with great Italian wine and buon appetito!

Family Trip

DAY

There are two distinct ways to enjoy Lake Como as a family—on water or on land. Book a boat trip for two hours to see all of Lake Como’s most beautiful waterside villas.

Villa del Balbianello has a beautiful lakeside terrace and is also where a Queen Amidala scene from Star Wars was filmed.

Don’t miss beautiful Nesso with its waterfall and bridge dating back to Roman times. On land, Como’s funicular, Funicolare Como-Brunate, offers spectacular views of the region without the hike.

EVENING

After a day of fun, head to Osteria del Gallo where you’ll dine on delicious pasta and meats.

The menu changes daily, presenting you with the best seasonal ingredients. The restaurant is family-run, extremely cozy and welcoming.

Romantic Getaway

DAY

Isola Comacina is the only island in Lake Como—its secluded location and fascinating history make it perfect for a romantic getaway.

Depending on your mood this can be a quick visit, with a one-hour tour and a drink from the island’s “Oste”, or a full day trip.

There are several ruins and a famous gothic church, plus a famous restaurant that serves an excellent lunch with unparalleled views.

EVENING

After your day on Isola Comacina head to uber romantic Grand Hotel Tremezzo for drinks and dinner.

La Terazza is their fine dining restaurant which serves a famous risotto with a gold leaf, you’ll even get a certificate.

The restaurant’s tasting menu will leave you satisfied not full. Go for a stroll in their fragrant jasmine garden and toast to your romance after dinner.
