Highlights
My name is Mia and together with my husband Gianni we love showing our lake to our guests. The tour allows you to admire the beautiful coasts of Lake Como, the historic villas that overlook it as well as the wonderful views, in the hidden corners, which can only be seen from the lake. With our four-hour tour, you will arrive in Bellagio (La Perla del Lago) to observe it from the boat or go ashore to stroll through its characteristic alleys. We will then continue to Varenna, another jewel on the lake and then cross the lake until we reach Lenno and Isola Comacina, an ideal place to sip an aperitif or go for a swim thanks to the always calm water that surrounds the island. We will then sail towards Como along the western shore. We will offer you an excellent bottle of prosecco, some snacks and the soft drinks you desire. You don't have to worry about bringing bath towels because you will find them available on the boat. We are waiting for you!

Itinerary
The first town you come across is Blevio where you can admire the suggestive Villa Troubetzkoy, Villa Cademartori, Villa Da Riva, Villa Belvedere and Villa Riccabruna, today Mandarin Hotel Lake Como..
With its 1,000 inhabitants, Torno is one of the most evocative and fascinating towns on Lake Como. On its coasts there are historic villas such as Villa Taverna and the fascinating Villa Pliniana off the coast of which you can also take a refreshing dip. We will also pass in front of the Hotel Sereno, the most recent 5-star hotel built on the lake.
You will admire the private villas overlooking the lake.
A village with an ancient flavor, a small jewel set in the rock. It rises at the point where two streams join together forming a spectacular waterfall between the mountains and visible from the lake beyond the Civera bridge.
"The Pearl of the Lake". A delightful village located on the promontory from which the two branches of the lake branch off. A real gem with the ancient and suggestive houses of the old village and the characteristic cobbled stairways where the colorful shops parade one after the other. Do not miss the Gardens of Villa Melzi.
Located in front of Bellagio, it is one of the most beautiful villages in the region. It is a very romantic and evocative place with its "Passeggiata degli Innamorati", a walkway overlooking the waters of the lake. Interesting to visit Villa Monastero and the Castle of Vezio.
A small village overlooking the Gulf of Venus, it enjoys a mild and temperate climate. Numerous splendid villas can be admired including the splendid Villa Balbianello, now owned by the FAI, Villa La Cassinella and Villa Balbiano. Villa Balbianello and its gardens can be visited by purchasing the ticket on site.
The only island of Lake Como. In ancient times there were 9 churches on the island before the people of Como razed them to the ground in 1169. Today only the Baroque church of San Giovanni is still intact. Every year at the end of June, the flight of the island's inhabitants towards Varenna is remembered with a representation during which the lake is lit up as day by thousands of floating candles and at the end of the evening a fireworks display reconstructs the fire and the destruction of the island. The waters around the island are the perfect place to sip an aperitif or go for a swim
Village located on the western shore of the lake where you can admire the wonderful coasts where, among others, there are Villa La Punta (previously Veronesi) and Villa Oleandra, George Clooney's summer residence.
We will admire Villa Le Rose (William Churchill's residence in 1945) Villa Passalacqua (now a hotel with 24 suites) and Villa Fontanella (also called Villa Versace).
The wonderful Villa D'Este now a luxury hotel, Villa Pizzo which can be rented for weddings or other private events and Villa Erba, once owned by the director Luchino Visconti, now Luigi of events and congresses.
We will pass in front of Villa Olmo, one of the largest and most majestic villas on the lake and the Life Electric, a monument in honor of Alessandro Volta, created by Daniel Libeskind.

About Lake Como
Lake Como is a deep, Y-shaped lake in Lombardy, ringed by steep green mountains, pastel villages, ornate villas and terraced gardens.
Lake Como is shaped like an upside-down Y, with three arms that meet near Bellagio. At more than 400 metres deep, it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe, held between steep wooded slopes that rise towards the Alps. Villages with painted houses and small harbours stand along the water, and a network of ferries links them, making a boat the best way to see the shoreline.
Top-ranked sights in Lake Como: Villa del Balbianello, Villa Melzi Gardens (Giardini di Villa Melzi), Como-Brunate Funicular Railway (Funicolare Como-Brunate).
