Romantic Private Lake Como Cottage with breathtaking 180-degree lake view
We absolutely LOVED this cottage on the lake. The view is incredible and the location can't be beat. You definitely need a car to get around - but there's many good restaurants, bars, hikes etc within close driving distance. Great relaxing getaway, we will be back!
