2 ~~~ The best hotels in Lake Como The most astonishing hotels to bookmark for a knockout Lake Como getaway Few can resist the distinctive magic that radiants from Italy's grandest lake. Virgil called Como “the greatest lake”, and Pliny the Younger had a villa here where he said the porch was “always like spring.” Once home to the gilded palaces of princes, bishops and painters, it is now the playground of the world's rich (the fictional Roy family from Succession tells you everything you need to know) and famous (George Clooney has owned a villa here for over 20 years). Many of the historic villas lining the lake remain private abodes, while those that have been converted into hotels are revered as some of the grandest in the world. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/hotels-lake-como-italy16 January 2024 |

4 ~~~ What to wear in Italy From Rome to Tuscany, Sicily to the Amalfi Coast, here's our ultimate guide to dressing well in Italy Planning a city break to Italy and want to blend in with the locals? Italian style is less about having a uniform and more about an in-the-know approach to fashion. Confidence is key. Consider well-fitting (not necessarily tailored), smart pieces such as a pencil skirt or a sleek knit dress, always freshly pressed and snag-free. Wardrobes here are bold but not flashy – one showstopper skirt can be paired with a simple knit, a style tip often seen on Mrs Prada. For a more relaxed setting such as Tuscany, think of understated but always-chic brands such as Brunello Cucinelli and Loro Piana, or for a more attention-grabbing city look, look to Milan's big hitters – Fendi, Dolce, and Valentino – just a few of the names that put Italian fashion firmly on the map. When in doubt, follow this rule – dress from the shoes up. There’s a reason there are so many Italian shoe designers – Ferragamo, Tod’s, Sergio Rossi, as well as trend-leaders Miu Miu and Gucci. Well-made footwear is the mark of the well-heeled and is the foundation of any outfit. So whether you’re wearing a simple sandal or a va-va-voom stiletto, put your best foot forward and step into a new Italian wardrobe. www.cntraveller.com/article/what-to-wear-in-italy?11 April 2024 |
