unfiltered, real Lake Como tips

Hi, I'm Simona! First time I visited Lake Como, I made all the possible mistakes: got in the most tourist trap restaurants, visited only the Como city, came in at the hottest month... I still fell in love with this place, but only after moving to a small town by the Lake Como, I have discovered the real magic of it. I made it my mission to help people to travel better, avoid tourist traps and have the best possible local experiences. I have been advising visitors for quite a while now! Below you will find hidden gems, best hotel stays, restaurants, activities, transport hacks, and unfiltered moments from life in Lake Como. If you're planning a trip or just daydreaming, you're in good company here.
