Lake Como is full of natural tranquillity with a magical combination of Mediterranean history oozing out in to the alpine peak snow covered Mountains.

The funny thing is you don't have to be as wealthy as all the stars to live here, in fact you can breathe the same air for as little as one hundred thousand euro's and even less if you don't mind being a bit further up in the clouds. What I mean is the further up the mountain you go the cheaper the properties can be bought for.
