We want to share the beauty of Lake Como with visitors, but in a different way. 

What started as a quick day trip turned into a weeklong adventure filled with exploration and discovery. With every sunset over the lake and every cobblestone street they wandered, they felt a deep connection to this magical lake. It was clear: this was where they wanted to put down roots for their family.

Every year, we made our way to Italy, drawn by the beauty of Federico’s home and the warmth of his family. Life in Austin, Texas was very busy with their careers, but we always knew we wanted to raise our children in Italy someday. The question was: where? We dreamed of a charming town by the water, but not too far from Milan, so we could stay close to family. 

While Brittany managed her luxury travel agency, she quickly noticed a huge gap in the market when planning client's trips to Lake Como: — there were very limited opportunities for travelers to see the true beauty of the lake. Navigating Como is admittedly tricky due to its large size & lack of public transportation.

After enjoying a gorgeous boat ride on the lake (which is must!), many visitors find themselves unsure of where to go next & how to get there. In fact, much of Lake Como's hidden beauty is found beyond the water. 

La Dolce Vita

Imagine sipping an Aperol Spritz at George Clooney’s favorite 5* hangout or enjoying a casual aperitivo at a family-owned trattoria, where the food is made with love. You can explore stunning historical villas and wander through their peaceful botanical gardens.

As you journey through the lake, time seems to slow down, allowing you to truly appreciate the beauty around you. This is the true essence of la dolce vita — and we can’t wait to share the wonders of Lake Como with you in a way that’s uniquely special.
