Australians knows about villas and gardens on Lake Como
Treasured for centuries - Holly Kerr Forsyth From: The Australian
These houses and gardens are confections that mix several disciplines: you can't imagine Palladio would have approved. With the wooded, craggy mountains rising behind in an arresting backdrop and their sublime position overlooking the lakes, however, they possess that most valuable of all assets: a clear sense of place.
Adored by travellers for many centuries, whether as a place of learning or of rest, these lakes and their fantasy gardens are most eloquently described by writers who, like Henry James, were captivated by "that element of the rich and strange for the love of which one revisits Italy".
