Our goal at lake como pages is to provide as much detail as possible for the Lake Como area providing visitors with a one-stop resource.
Working with the local Comuni  for events on the lake, speaking to local businesses from the towns and villages, and generally taking notes of all the local gossip around lake como, allows us to update the website with relevant information. This is all fine and well but we would be foolish to think that we can do all this without the assistance of visitors to the area and would therefore love to hear from anyone who has been to Lake Como, Italy or is planning to visit.Â
You can help by contacting us with your experiences (good or bad) on Lake Como whether it is holiday related or maybe you have decided to live in this wonderful part of the world. We are able to accept photographs to accompany your text as long as they have been resized to 640x480 pixels.
Detailed below is a short list of topics that are of particular interest to us and we would be grateful to anyone who would be willing to share their experiences:
- Family holidays
- Romantic Holidays
- Walking
- Renovation works
- Buying a property
