About Lombardy and The Lakes

Sweeping along northwest Italy from France to Tuscany in a narrow ribbon along the coast, Liguria, one of Italy’s smallest provinces, is a quaint, yet glamorous region that attracts jet-setters and movie-stars looking to relax.

Lying between the Alps and River Po, Lombardy is one of the most culturally diverse and picturesque regions in Italy. Renting a villa in this region will truly satisfy your quest for impressive scenery and fine food and wine. Influenced by German, Spanish, Austrian, and French cultures, the cuisine in Lombardy is slightly more continental than its neighbors, favoring risotto and polenta dishes over pasta. Enjoy freshly prepared risotto alla Milanese and sip on wine while you admire the magnificent view from your terrace. Whether you’re staying in a villa on Lake Maggiore or Lake Como, be sure to visit the fashion capital, Milan, and shop in the famed Quadrilatero shopping district and explore the incredible Romanesque architecture, just minutes away from your vacation home.
