One of the most famous and most beautiful lakes in the world is Lake Como in Italy. Surrounded by high mountains, with a scattering of resort towns along the shore, the lake captivates from the first moment you drive up to it. And having lived on the lake for several days, you understand why many celebrities acquire luxurious mansions here - magnificent views and amazing panoramas of Lake Como leave no one indifferent. On the western side of the lake along the picturesque Gulf of Venus is the popular resort of Tremezzino, formed by three cities - Lenno, Tremezzo and Mezzegra.
