Aussies wanting to live in Italy for 12 months

My husband and I are thinking of living in Italy for 12 months. We are thinking of a small village /town around Lake Como. We like the idea of being close to Milan. We would appreciate any advice /tips anyone has to share.....
Thanks

I live in CREMA.. an hour away from Milan.
It's very peaceful and clean. You should check this place on google, see if you like it.ü

Ok I will check it out on Google. Did you find your accommodation before you arrived there ?

If you are looking for something charming but not too distant from Milan I suggest Civenna.
This is a little village on the lake Como, next to Bellagio ( and George Clooney).

I know that many people rent their house in Civenna.
You are on the lake, close to the mountains if you like skiing and 30/40 minutes far from Milan.
