Como, Italy, located in the enchanting area of Lake Como, is recognized as a leader in design, furniture and fashion. Nearby Villa D’Este makes it even more of a premium destination.

Como is easily reached by plane, being close to both the Milan Airports of Malpensa and Linate. Como is also very well connected by trains to all of the major European Cities. Frequent and fast train service connects Como to Milan or to Switzerland daily.

Driving to Como is also very easy and pleasant, either by fast highways or by scenic mountain roads. For visitors arriving by plane, Lugano airport is convenient to Villa Erba, Villa del Grumello, where Centro Volta is located, and Malpensa, Bergamo, and Linate airports are roughly 30-45 minutes away. Motorists will find their journey just as easy; the “Como Nord” exit on the A9 motorway from Milan takes them virtually to the gates of Villa Olmo, parking facilities surround the area.
