Itinerary
Villa Melzi d’Eril, located in Bellagio, is a historic private residence now used as a museum. Belonging to the Melzi d’Eril family, today to the Gallarati Scotti branch, the entire estate has been declared a national monument.
Villa del Balbianello is a historic residence located in Lenno, along the western shore of Lake Como. It stands on the extremity of the peninsula of Lavedo, a suggestive promontory covered with vegetation that juts into the waters of Lake Como and that owes the name of “Balbianello” to this villa.
Villa Balbiano, a jewel of Lake Como dating back to the late sixteenth century, is one of the most refined locations for exclusive weddings. The villa overlooks the lake and boasts an elegant Italian garden with breathtaking views. The interiors, rich in art and period furnishings, express all the charm and glamorous style that have made her famous in magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue US.
Grand Hotel Tremezzo, built between 1907 and 1910, is an iconic Art Nouveau hotel on the shores of Lake Como. Officially inaugurated on 10 July 1910, it welcomed an elite international clientele from the very beginning, embodying the refined spirit of the Belle Époque.
Villa Carlotta, a historic residence on Lake Como, was built in the seventeenth century by Marquis Giorgio Clerici. Having become the property of illustrious figures such as Sommariva and Princess Marianna of Prussia, it is named after her daughter Charlotte. Today it is a famous museum with botanical gardens and works of art that tell centuries of beauty and culture.

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).
