Lake Como, Italy, vacation apartment and villa rentals surge as the celebrity factor kicks in.

May 10, 2010 - PRLog -- For the last 5 years Lake Como in Italy has emerged as a real player in the exclusive real estate market. Nestling in the lower alps just an hour north of Milan, Lake Como has become a hotbed of celebrity as the rich and famous jostle for position on the sunny and dramatic shores of the worlds most beautiful lake say holiday and vacation rental experts http://www.bellacomo.com/

Lynne Gardner of leading rental agent Bella Como said “it’s no surprise that lake Como has quietly emerged as a favourite of the rich and famous. With names like George Clooney, Michael Schumacher, Richard Branson, and Jose Maurinho the profile of Lake Como has increased enormously in the last few years. The net effect has been that vacationers are now seeing and hearing a lot about Lake Como in the media and are visiting. We have seen a 200% increase in booking in the last year alone”

According to local real estate agents too, the property market itself has also withstood the worst of the economic downturn. Lynne Gardner went onto say “with so few properties and the authorities reluctant to grant permission to build more it is likely that Lake Como will remain a pricey place to buy, that said if you want to rent you can find some stunning properties in amazing places for a fraction of what you would expect”

For those wanting a bargain on Lake Como, close to the action you could try the Borgo MonteNero for example which was quoted by the guardian in 2009 as the best place to stay on Lake Como. Apartment Argento for example can be rented from just 490 euro per week. http://www.bellacomo.com/english/COMO/142/Borgo%20Montene...
