The Lake Como Idyll book offers an exclusive visual and written tour of the northern Italian lake region, authored by Massimo Nava as part of Assouline's Travel Series. It features coverage of landmark estates including Villa d'Este, Passalacqua, and Villa del Balbianello, alongside the natural landscapes of cypress and oak-lined shores. The content spans both the area's unspoilt scenery and its luxury offerings, from the Mandarin Oriental's floating pool to Riva boat excursions on the lake. Bound in a green cover, it forms part of Assouline's established Travel Series collection.
Unassuming yet simply stunning, Lake Como has drawn visitors to its quiet beauty for years and this eponymous Assouline title takes an exclusive tour of the coveted northern Italian enclave. With its two arms that sees Como to the west, Lecco to the east and the town of Bellagio in the middle, these shores give way to spectacular scenery and rich unspoilt nature that includes the gardens of Villa d’Este, Passalacqua and Villa del Balbianello, fragrant greenery shaped by cypress and oak trees, and the unmissable hanging mist over the lake itself, which that greets every morning for an unforgettable sunrise. Conversely, the destination's luxe appeal is also celebrated here, whether it's the Mandarin Oriental's floating pool or the spectacle of being whisked down the lake on a Riva boat. Authored by Massimo Nava, 'Lake Como Idyll' is one of the newest additions to Assouline's 'Travel Series' and promises to take readers on an unforgettable Italian getaway .
