The slender, wishbone-shaped waters of Lake Como are all that you expect them to be – a delight to the senses.

Surrounded by towering hills dotted with pretty pastel towns and villages, it is a perfect place to stop for a relaxing couple of days. We spent ours at Dongo on the north western shores.

Como is a deep glacial lake, one of the deepest in Europe and the third largest in Italy. Since Roman times it has been a haven for the famous and wealthy, radiating charm and elegance, so of course we were going to fit right in!

We sipped spritz by the lakeside, sailed across it and motored around it. Here as some of the snapshots from a day at the Lake.
