Range Rover Cruising on Como’s Edge
A visit to the stunning Lake Como demands a car that is as majestic and commanding as the scenery. Enter the iconic Range Rover SUV, formerly known as the Range Rover Vogue. With 5 seats, Adaptive Dynamics for effortless handling, and powered by a refined 3.0-litre inline-6 mild hybrid engine, it superbly balances refinement and capability. Inside, the cabin is a sanctuary, featuring quilted leather, ambient lighting and a panoramic roof that creates a space of pure calm.
With its lush, astonishing landscapes and deep-blue waters, Lake Como is a great destination for hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, boating, sailing or kitesurfing. Set off along the SS36 north from Milan and in just over an hour, you’ll reach the enchanting shores of Lake Como. Stop in Varenna to see Villa Monastero, a historic villa featuring botanical gardens that stretch along the lakefront. Visit the Basilica of Sant’Abbondio, a remarkable 11th-century Romanesque church with an extraordinary series of frescoes adorning its interior. Then drive to Bellagio where cobbled streets, charming cafés and sweeping lake views await. Enjoy a boat ride between towns and then settle down for lunch at Trattoria San Giacomo, a cosy, family-run trattoria. Try their lavarello (lake whitefish) or the creamy risotto al pesce persico (perch risotto), both local favourites.
Range Rover Sport – Your Lake Maggiore Companion
A Range Rover Sport hire in Milan, a 5-seater 4×4 luxurious SUV, offers a fun and comfortable drive for a family. It features Terrain Response 2 for adapting to any driving condition and a sleek, minimalist cabin with a 13.1-inch curved touchscreen. Enjoy a relaxed drive knowing that you have Driver Assist features like Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist and Blind Spot Assist.
Collect your luxury SUV rental at Milan Airport and head northwest through rolling hills and past charming villages on the A8 for about 1.5 hours to the beautiful Lake Maggiore. Stop in the elegant town of Stresa, where you can ride the Stresa–Alpino–Mottarone cable car, 1,385m uphill to see stunning panoramic views across the lake, the Borromean Islands and the Alps.
Land Rover Redefines Adventure at Lake Lugano
For those seeking adventure, we highly recommend the rugged and fearless Land Rover Defender, a 5-seater, powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six turbocharged mild hybrid engine. Equipped with advanced features like ClearSight Ground View and Terrain Response 2, it is ready for both city streets and country roads.
If this is your first visit to Milan, ensure you explore the stunning Duomo di Milano and admire the intricate Gothic architecture up close. Then see Da Vinci’s The Last Supper, an iconic masterpiece housed at Santa Maria delle Grazie. Stroll through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and soak in the beauty of Italy’s oldest shopping gallery filled with designer boutiques, elegant cafés, and the famous mosaic bull under the dome (spin for luck!).
If you prefer a smaller SUV, we suggest the refined Land Rover Velar, powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, blending refined performance with All-Wheel Drive confidence. It features a sleek dual-screen Pivi Pro infotainment system and a minimalist, luxury-focused cabin with premium materials. Also highly sought after is the compact Land Rover Evoque, urban-ready with an adventurous spirit. Your passengers will enjoy the chic, tech-forward cabin finished with premium materials.
Scenic Drive to Lake Lugano
Milan is the ideal gateway for a fun escape into Switzerland. A scenic drive north along the A9 takes you across the border to Lake Lugano where Italian charm meets Swiss precision. Explore the vibrant lakeside town of Lugano with its stylish boutiques and lakeside cafés. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the landscaped gardens of Parco Ciani. If you have a head for heights, take the funicular up to Monte Brè or Monte San Salvatore, where panoramic vistas of the lake and surrounding mountains await.
For a delightful shopping experience, drive your Range Rover Evoque to Viganello and visit Valentina Benassi – Benny Pottery. This talented artist creates unique pieces that reflect the artistic heritage of the region. Choose a handcrafted plate, vase, cup, sculpture, or piece of ceramic jewellery to take home as a souvenir. Art lovers cannot miss the LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, the city’s modern arts and culture centre. It hosts contemporary art exhibitions, theatre performances and concerts, making it a vibrant spot to discover the local creative scene.
As the sun sets, it is time to enjoy a fusion of Swiss and Italian flavours before heading back to Milan. Drive to Ristorante I Due Sud on Lake Ceresio, about 22km from Lake Lugano. Drawing inspiration from the sun-kissed regions of Campania and Ticino, Chef Marco Veneruso crafts a heartfelt culinary journey that celebrates their rich traditions and exceptional ingredients.
Exploring Italy’s lakes in a Range Rover turns every road into an adventure. With power, comfort, and stunning views, it’s a drive that will create memories to last forever. Discover Italy’s fashionable lakeside towns and villages with a Range Rover hire from Milan Linate Airport.
