Villas, ferries and mountains straight out of the water. Not cheap, never disappointing. Best months for a group: May, June and September. Our estimate for three nights in September is about £289 each from London, flights plus a share of the bed.
When to go
Lake Como is in season for a group in May, June and September, the months we would pick first. Average daytime highs are 21°C in May, 27°C in June and 24°C in September. Outside those months it can still work, it is simply what our catalogue rates highest for a trip with friends.
