  • February 10, 2023

How to celebrate Valentine’s Day in Lake Como? The opportunity to spend the most romantic day of the year in the world’s most romantic place feels like a dream come true. So whether you’re scheduling a first date, setting the backdrop for a proposal in Lake Como, planning the celebration of a special anniversary, or want to go out for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner, check out our selection of the most romantic activities in Lake Como.

A Romantic Dinner on Lake Como

Be sure to book ahead for the best table in Lake Como restaurants. You can enjoy the romantic atmosphere and fantastic views of Lake Como in the restaurants Momi (Blevio), Crotto dei Platani (Brienno), and La Baia di Moltrasio (Moltrasio). For one day only (14th February!), La Baia di Moltrasio offers a special menu that includes oysters, salmon tartare, artichoke flan, ravioli with shrimp, lamb, and soufflé with passion fruit. 

For those who want to surprise their soulmate with masterpieces from the Michelin chef, we recommend celebrating Valentine’s Day at the Kitchen, the Michelin-starred restaurant. In this restaurant, located within the private leafy grounds of the Sheraton Lake Como Hotel, chef Andrea Casali creates unique dishes using the finest seasonal ingredients. The Kitchen offers three menus – ‘à la carte’ and two tasting menus: Experience and Green. With a superb dining room, luxury tableware and huge windows facing the garden, it’s a charming place to have a dinner for two.

A Trip to Balcone d’Italia

Balcone d’Italia is a hillside terrace located on the Swiss/Italian border where you can enjoy the silence and the natural beauty of the territorio. It is the perfect place to be alone with your loved one so you can enjoy the captivating views and landscapes together. Why not put together a picnic to savour the moment?

If you are lucky, the local bar might be open, where you will have the chance to have a romantic aperitif at an altitude of 1320m.

When on the way down from Balcone d’Italia, be sure to take a break at the ‘Big Bench’ (or ‘Panchina Gigante’ in Italian) installation in the Intelvi valley. Co-ordinates: 45.945850, 9.063514
