Visit the small village of Nesso on Lake Como and make your way from the main street all the way down the 340 steps to the Civera bridge. It's worth it for the most picturesque setting, an old Romanesque bridge made of stone, covered in vines against the backdrop of a waterfall. Soak up. the views, jump off the bridge and swim in the lake.

You need to go to traditional Italian restaurant La Cascata, for authentic wood-fired pizza and magical views across the lake. Really reasonable price and delicious food, if you're sharing then we suggest you try one of the large pizzas and choose 3 different toppings, otherwise you can't go wrong with a classic Margherita. You know they take their dough very seriously when they refuse to reveal the secret type of flour they use.
