Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce lead stars summering in Lake Como, the ‘quintessential private escape’: expert

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the latest stars setting their sights on Lake Como, Italy, for a summer vacation.

On May 17, the couple toured Lake Como by boat. A photo of Swift and Kelce showed the pair snuggled up at the back of the boat with Kelce’s arm around Swift. The couple appeared to be photographed just before they shared a kiss during their romantic tour of Lake Como.

“[Swift] got on the boat along the side and then went right away to the front and started taking photos of him,” a source told People magazine about their outing. “It was clear that she was trying to capture the moment for posterity, and the cute thing was that she didn’t use a phone but a little Olympus camera source shared that Swift and Kelce’s boat ride was nearly two hours in the rain near the village of Bellagio. The couple was staying at Lake Como’s Villa Sola Cabiati, a villa from the 17th century and a part of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo.

Architectural Digest reported that stars like Gwen Stefani and Natalie Portman opt to stay at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo when they visit Lake Como.”On the first night, they went for a long walk around the lake late at night [between 11 and midnight],” an insider told People about the couple’s first night in Italy. “It was very romantic. At times they would walk hand in hand. They would also exchange a kiss every so often.”

Jamie D’Aria, travel advisor for Travelmation, told FOX Business that Lake Como is the “quintessential private escape.”

“Staff throughout the region make privacy a top priority, restricting access from outside guests and protecting the interests of their elite clientele,” she explained. “You can choose to be a part of the scene, staying at famous resorts like Grand Tremezzo or il Sereno, or keep private in your own personal villa. Wherever you stay on the lake, you’re captivated by the mountains and glistening lake as Italian speedboats pass by.”
