The world's most glamorous lake is Europe's new 'it' place
Forget the Amalfi Coast, Capri and the Riviera. The hottest destination in Italy these days is Lake Como.
The lake aside, Grisdale says that Lake Como's biggest appeal is the collection of small towns, including undiscovered gems that have seen nary a tourist. "They all have a lot of character, but each has its own atmosphere and feel," she says. "The locals often speak in Italian dialects to each other, and visiting is a very authentic experience of the region." Bellagio is the most touristy and can get crowded, but it is full of vibrant restaurants and bars as well as local boutiques selling chic fashions.

There are different lakes all over N Italy that look a lot like Como. Como is super touristy but there are other towns along the lake as the article above states.

Isn’t that where Miss Clooney had the unfortunate bike crash? Wasn’t there a local young fellow with him?

The area around Lake Como has been an 'it' place for a number of years.
