14 Luxury Airbnbs in Lake Como, Italy

The deepest and the third-largest lake in Italy is a treat for the senses. Everywhere you look is a photo opportunity. The historic towns and perched villages are scattered around its inverted Y shape, the Alps set the scene with mighty peaks surrounding the water, and the elegant villas have their lush gardens right next to the shore. The lake has been a luxurious thing to do in Italy ever since the Roman patricians established their summer residences here. You can have a piece of its sublime beauty too by booking one of these cool Airbnbs in Lake Como.
