Anyone who finds a property in Italy near the country's lakes will have lots to look forward to, it has been claimed.
Travel+Leisure magazine highlighted some of the area's top attractions, including restaurants, activities and shopping hotspots.
People staying in a property in Italy near Lake Como may want to take in the Villa del Balbianello, a museum dedicated to artefacts collected by former resident Guido Monzino, an Italian explorer.
Chinese, African and pre-Colombian art, as well as pieces of furniture dating from the 18th century are among the items you will find here.
Meanwhile, the publication recommended heading to Navedano for a high-quality meal. The restaurant is located in an old windmill and fish caught in Lake Como are among the dishes on the menu.
Another good establishment to visit for a real taste of Italy is La Piazzetta, according to the magazine, where diners can enjoy a pizza cooked in a wood-fired stone oven.
