Unquestionably the Italian lake that has exerted the greatest charm for people from all over the world. Its shores have been the home or temporary residence to many illustrious personalities and famous celebrities, both in the past and still in the present day. Writers such as Manzoni and Stendhal in years gone by, as well as composers of the calibre of Bellini and Liszt, and painters such as Corot. Nowadays we may mention actors, politicians, sheikhs and fashion designers.
Numerous historical villas stud the lakeside, directly overlooking its waters or nestling within characteristic hamlets with narrow winding streets leading to the village houses built by fishermen in the typical local style using stone and wood. Famous the world over are Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, Villa Serbelloni and Villa Melzi in Bellagio, and Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo. Nevertheless, the lake is dotted with countless other lesser-known houses that are just as beautiful and romantic and that may become your dream abode. Each apartment and every villa has its own story… Let yourself be guided by those who know these stories well.
