What's included
About the experience
This journey is perfect for those seeking a deeper immersion into the grandeur of the lake’s world-famous villas, charming villages, and scenic landmarks.
Departing from Como, your private boat glides past the elegant Villa Olmo and Hotel Villa Flori, leading you into Cernobbio, where you’ll admire Villa Erba and the legendary Villa d’Este. As we cruise further north, pass Villa Fontanelle in Moltrasio (once owned by Gianni Versace), and then slow near Villa Oleandra in Laglio, the famed residence of George Clooney.
Next, marvel at the dramatic Orrido di Nesso waterfall, cascading into the lake from a rocky gorge, before continuing to the charming Comacina Island, the lake’s only island, steeped in history. We’ll then admire Villa del Balbianello in Lenno, one of Lake Como’s most photographed landmarks, known for its role in iconic films.
Cruising towards the romantic town of Bellagio, we’ll glide past the serene Villa Melzi, before beginning our return along the eastern shore. The journey continues with views of Torno’s Villa Pliniana, Mandarin Oriental in Blevio, and the elegant Villa Troubetzkoy, offering a perfect finale before returning to Como.
This luxurious experience is ideal for couples, families, or groups wanting to explore Lake Como in style and comfort, guided by a local expert captain.
