The U.S. Sun has been told by an insider that the Kansas City Chiefs player loved the Italian hotspot so much that he took the Cruel Summer star on a three-property tour.
In our video report, which you can watch above, The U.S. Sun's Exclusives reporter Steve Brenner and Entertainment Editor Teresa Roca react to the news, and break down what it means for the world's favorite power couple.
"Both Travis and Taylor are keen to find somewhere to take a break from their hectic lives," said Brenner.
"Lake Como is a bit different from walking around Manhattan or London.
"Of course, there will be attention on them wherever they are, but having a place in a little village will give them some much-needed respite."
Roca added in the video above that the couple is serious about their romance, as The U.S. Sun previously reported their families came together to join Taylor when the European leg of her Eras tour kicked off in Paris, France on May 9.
Travis has mandatory practice in Kansas City in June, July and August ahead of the 2024 NFL season in September.
The European leg of the tour will wrap up in August with dates continuing in the United States and Canada.

According to Roca, the NFL released the 2024 schedule and Taylor is able to attend 14 of the 17 Kansas City Chiefs games.
Taylor made a nod to her boyfriend on her new album The Tortured Poets Department with songs like The Alchemy and So High School, as she even references "marrying" Travis in the latter song.
"Travis is definitely Taylor's end game," Roca said.
Our reporters have extensively been covering Taylor and Travis' relationship and how their careers continue to flourish, which is also discussed in our video report.
While Taylor is selling out arenas all over the world, Travis is a celebrity in his own right, as he is known as the greatest tight end in football.
He also has his highly successful podcast New Heights and his annual festival Kelce Jam.
STUNNING SCENERY
The couple is picking Lake Como because the location has long been a favorite destination for Taylor.
The source also said the three-time Super Bowl-winning star was "mesmerized" by the location and "fell in love with the beauty and atmosphere" of the area, situated 25 miles north of Milan.
"I have rarely seen him like this," revealed the insider.

"The journey itself becomes a prelude to the tranquility that awaits, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and wonder."
HISTORIC AREA
"After leaving the boat at the private buoy or dock, you are greeted by a large lush garden, a green carpet of manicured lawns, fragrant flowers, and ancient trees," the realtor continues.
"The villa’s architecture recounts the past history of Lake Como, when quarrymen dug into the mountain to extract stones to build villas and churches."
Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living space allow for stunning views of Lake Como.
Meanwhile, the outdoor dining area appears to be the perfect place to either relax or host friends.

But according to the insider, their latest Italy trip has reignited his dream to have a cozy, sumptuous hideaway to help rest and unwind away from their whirlwind careers.
"It’s such a beautiful place, very peaceful, very romantic, a very nice gateway during her intense Euro part of the tour," the source confirmed.
"They also took a bit of time to look into real estate, as many celebrities own houses and properties there.
"They like to do simple things, to relax, to spend days being by themselves and chill at home, so that location would be a perfect nest for them if one of them decides to buy a property there. "
"Travis really loves this kind of place, and he was so happy that they could share that Italian getaway together," added the person who is close to the Kelce family.
"They want those moments, they love being together and discovering the world.
"Taylor has been great at showing Travis new places - it's a perfect way to spend time together away from their intense lives!"
PAST LOVES
The romance comes after Taylor's six-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn ended in the spring of 2023.
