All-inclusive Lake Como from £399pp

Eight-day tour in a popular European holiday destination from £399pp

Eight-day holiday by air departing weekly Feb 2 to Apr 25, 2012

Beautiful Lake Como has been a popular holiday destination with British travellers since the 19th century.  Set at the foot of the Alps with tree-clad slopes plunging dramatically into the deep blue waters of the lake, the Hotel Britannia Excelsior is the ideal base to explore and enjoy the many delights of this wonderful location.

Well located in the centre of Cadenabbia and across the road from the lake, the Hotel Britannia Excelsior has undergone extensive refurbishment. The bedrooms vary in size and rooms at the rear of the hotel have a quieter outlook towards the hillside. The hotel is located just a short walk away from the local ferry port. This hotel represents excellent value for money, providing simple, traditional accommodation on an all inclusive basis with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Lake Como, the deepest lake in Europe, has much to offer. The resorts of Menaggio, Tremezzo, Cadenabbia and Lenno, are situated on the sunny, western shore with Bellagio perched on the promontory that divides Como and Lecco. Bellagio and Menaggio, the largest resorts, are characterised by a buzzing cosmopolitan atmosphere with quaint, cobbled alleyways and café-filled piazzas. The adjacent villages of Tremezzo and Cadenabbia hug the road from Como to Switzerland, while Lenno, the smallest of the six resorts, is a real haven of tranquility, with some of the most stunning lake views.
