Lago di Como<\/strong><\/p>\n

Villa Rosa Tea is our new discovery on Lake Como, otherwise know for grand hotels, and one particular celebrity. Our find is an historic maison which dates back to 1870, with its own private lakeside gardens and a darsena<\/em> – this is our all-time favourite word in the Italian language, meaning boathouse<\/em>. The daydreams start rolling right here\u2026! \u00a0Francesca and Lucia, the sisters behind this impressive structure, have overseen every exquisite detail and they run the property first-hand, ensuring all areas are up to their own personal and impeccable standards. \u00a0This private villa is made for a dream vacation surrounded by nature, mingling with the scents of flowers typical of the region, paired with local dishes prepared by a chef who is on duty as required. \u00a0Enjoy the most beautiful lake in the world – if you are in the area this summer, you must dash in to see it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lago d\u2019Orta<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the same region of this Italian Lake district, enjoy a stroll in the early morning sun which warms up the mists around the monastery on the island of San Giulio on Lake Orta. This jewel of a lake lies\u00a0in the Piemonte region, and the monastery on the island sees the nuns wake up every day to the most exceptional views, looking onto a place where time has stood still and has no measure. Sadly, there is no way of staying on this island, but there are some exquisite villas and classic hotels around the shore, which have a panorama of San Giulio.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/em>“The Italian Lakes are the wonder that time forgot. Once top of the bucket list on the Grand Tour, modern grand tourists have been seduced by long-haul wonders in the Far East, India and the Antipodes. The millennials think there is only one lake (Como) and one person goes there (George Clooney). And they\u2019ll go there one day, when they\u2019re old, as meanwhile there\u2019s such a lot of world to see<\/em>,\u201d quotes Victoria Mather, in her in-depth travel feature in Vanity Fair.<\/span> \u201cIn short, the Italian Lakes have become like the British Museum or the National Gallery: absolutely marvellous, we\u2019re thrilled they are there but rarely visit, as they are in our own backyard.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Lago Maggiore<\/strong><\/p>\n

The longest lake at 65km and the largest in Italy, this is the \u201csister\u201d lake to the others (possibly the elder sister), reaching from the Swiss border down to Sesto Calende, where it becomes a tributary of the River Po. \u00a0Dotted with islands, the main three not to miss are Isola Bella for its gardens inspired by Versailles, Isola Madre for the botanical gardens and the papalce of the Borromeo family who still own most of the lake, and Isola dei Pescatori. \u00a0Try to get to the latter around lunch or dinner-time, to book the Toscanini table with an outrageous view at Hotel Ristorante Verbano. \u00a0Otherwise, aim for the newly opened Osteria ARA36, built in the original shop of Ugo Aga who used to \u201cride the lake\u201d on a floating motorcycle – although you don\u2019t have to travel this way nowadays! \u00a0Simply take a boat from Stresa, Baveno, Carciano, Pallanza, Intra, Laveno, Angera Locarno or Arona – there is plenty of choice for one lake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lago di Varese<\/strong><\/p>\n

A small, still but very pretty lake \u2013 often used for training international rowing teams and in particular for Olympic teams. \u00a0The lake has its own small island too – Isolino Virginia, a prehistoric pile dwelling. \u00a0This romantic spot on these tranquil waters became a Unesco World Heritage site in 2011, and is also a nature reserve, surrounded by lotus flowers, reeds, lillies and wild trees. \u00a0It now also hosts colourful summer events and concerts on the island. \u00a0Arrive by 7pm in Biandronno to take the only ferry there is to the island\u2019s only restaurant, La Tana dell\u2019Isolino, now run very successfully by the Tana dell\u2019Orso of Mustonate, followed by an experience you can only enjoy on a Friday or Saturday night, where you can be surprised by talks on ecology or on cookery, or even concerts such as a 25-strong harp recital or a 6-piece jazz band. \u00a0As well as being a haven for flora and bird watching, the island also houses a priceless archaeological park which has an age-old Neolithic structure on display, casually in the grass, dating back to 4800-4680 BC.<\/p>\n
