Lake Como, Italy has all the ingredients to make for the perfect holiday.

A multitude of bars and cafes are situated along the shoreline of Lake Como. However, if you want to get away from the busy tourist spots, you can find quaint little bars hidden away up one of the many narrow streets or you can retreat further into the village, where you can find bars/trattorias such as TexSara in Menaggio, where you can feel part of the community (as many of the locals come here).

Please note that when you go to the cafè/bar you normally pay for your drink first at the till and then you present your receipt to the bar staff and they will prepare your drink. In many of the bars/cafès you are charged extra if you want to sit down with your coffee rather than stand at the counter.
