The deepest lake in Italy at over 400 metres, Como occupies a narrow glacial valley in the Lombard pre-Alps. Its forked shape, ringed by terraced hills and Belle Époque villas, has made it a resort destination since Roman times. The towns of Bellagio at the central promontory, Varenna on the eastern arm, and the city of Como at the southern tip each offer distinct characters; ferry services connect them throughout the day.
