Have stayed at the Villa d'Este many times before. Its setting is rivaled by few others. Another great lake nearby is Lago di Garda. If you ever go to Como, I suggest people visit the Frey factory shop for some great deals on silk scarves and ties. They're silk designers that produce products for many of the upscale European brands.
