The producers of the James Bond movies knew something a long time ago that is still true today; Italy is all about romance, luxury and la dolce vita. In Casino Royale Bond arrives in Lake Como (near George Clooney’s home) for a showdown with a bad guy. No one remembers the action, they remember the incredible views of Lake Como. This trip is about the hotels, the cuisine, the lakes and the joy of being in what may be the most beautiful place on earth, Lake Como and Lake Maggiore. The operative word to describe The Italian Lakes District is elegant. Elegance that starts in the haute couture of Milan's fashion houses and extends north to The Lakes District. Villas that have a heritage of hundreds of years and majestic hotels are scattered along the shores of Lake Como and Lake Maggiore. Thinking about a honeymoon? a honeymoon gift? or celebrating a milestone anniversary? This trip would be perfect! |
