A room with a view: Why Brits are flocking back to Italy’s Lake Como
It was the Romans who discovered Lake Como, and built their villas overlooking its stunning scenery. Today, the Mediterranean microclimate created by the lake’s waters is enjoyed as much as ever, though many now prefer an apartment in place of a villa. Aside from the views across the lake, and the uniquely benign climate it bestows on the area, the location has other attractions. To the north and west are snow-capped mountains and the border with Switzerland, while not far south is the bustling city of Milan.
