An Italian best-kept secret in Lombardy
Talk about unsung heroes – Lombardy gets just a fraction of the press that Tuscany does, but boy, is it beautiful. Topped and tailed by soaring mountains and wide plains, it straddles the fertile Po Valley and the sculpted Dolomites. Glimmering mountain lakes – Como, Lago d'Iseo – hide like long-lost treasures between the pre-Alps. Ski fields drape across the borderline peaks at Livigno and Valchiavenna. Lombardy vacation rentals in towns like Bergamo and Milan promise a whirlwind of culture and class – think priceless art and cobbled old towns.
A Lombardy odyssey
Start in the cities. That's where guided tours can reveal filigreed Gothic duomos and you can ride a Segway through enchanting neighborhoods laden with trattorias and palazzi. Move to the lakes. You'll splash in crystal-clear waters and laze on pebble beaches, you'll whiz on windsurfers, and camp in grassy meadows, where wildflowers bloom. Then make for the mountains. Up there, where the Dolomites start in earnest, you can hike and bike, break a long trek with a stay in a rifugio – a mountain refuge providing a bed and hot food, away from your main base – and scramble on via ferratas to reach dramatic summits.
Lombardy, where Italian wonders abound
Lombardy vacation rentals in Milan, boltholes in Bergamo and amazing villas near Mantua combine to make stays in this northern region a ticket to some seriously awesome Italian wonders. The world-class Pinacoteca di Brera is a fine place to start. It's Milan's piece de resistance, laden with works by Caravaggio and Raphael and more. Bergamo's Old Town is fringed by the Accademia Carrara – a place to spy out pieces by Botticelli and Titian. Then there's the chocolate box of historical treats in Mantua, a tasty medley of the Ducal Palace and the stunning Mantua Cathedral, with its Gothic bell tower and Renaissance-style rose windows.
Lombardy – all seasons beckon
You won't find a dull time of year in Lombardy. History and heritage don't disappear in cities like Milan and Bergamo when the big crowds disperse, in fall – book your Lombardy vacation rentals to explore amazing museums without the queues in months like October and November. Winter heralds the ski season. Snow hits Livigno and the Dolomites around December and lasts until March. Spring sees hikers flock to the Italian Alps in April and May, while summer is high time to visit Lake Como and Lago d'Iseo to cool off in highland waters.
The 2 sides of Lombardy
Lombardy is a region carved in 2. The south is given over to the wide Po Valley, home to reserves like the Regional Park South Oglio and its wiggling rivers and lakes and bald hills. The north is where the Italian Alps poke up. They start right by the city of Bergamo, from where you can see them rising in rows of limestone. Delve within and there are cobalt-blue lakes, like Iseo and Como. Protected areas come thick and fast, like the Natural Reserve Sebino, with its grassy plateaus and woodlands, or the dramatic Bergamasche mountains, with snow-dashed peaks and welcoming rifugi.
