Some of the most beautiful villas in the world are to be found on this lake which resembles a fjord.
There is a succession of small, scenic villages along the shores of the lake with tiny harbours, colourful houses, ancient churches and, in particular, well-known villas which are renowned throughout the world. The lake’s temperate water provides a highly favourable microclimate for the beautiful gardens and parks located all along its banks with their palm trees, olive trees, Mediterranean and tropical flowers, all set against the background of the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
