Very small villages with rows of characteristic stone houses come one after the other along the lake side and world famous localities known for their beauty. These are lake localities that maintain that sound charm which made them a sure stop-over for those refined visitors who crossed the Alps in order to visit Italy.
Set at the foot of the great mountains, the Lake Como and of Lugano and the valleys that merge with them are characterized by the beauty of the surrounding landscape and by the continuous renewal of colours and atmosphere during the changing months.
This atmosphere one feels is even more surprising because it is so unusual considering the geographic position of the area.
