Lake Como
Villas with gardens that tumble straight into the water, a ferry that stops at towns too pretty to only see from the deck, and mountains behind that keep the whole scene from feeling too tidy.
The best time to visit Lake Como is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 28°C (83°F). Local time there is 22:34 (UTC+2).
