Why Go
Lake Como is a romantic getaway one hour from Milan, Italy. Set right on the shores of the lake is the luxurious Villa d'Este, originally built in 1568 as a summer residence for Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio. Since that time, Villa d'Este has been the playground of an empress, an English Queen and various aristocrats, until 1873 when it was transformed into a luxury hotel.

Anyone looking for a romantic place to settle for a few days need look no further than Villa d'Este. Spend a few days at this lakeside retreat and enjoy fine dining, several rejuvenating spa treatments, the classical gardens, and views across the lake.
