About the experience

Each additional person (7th and 8th passenger) involves an extra cost of €25 per person.

Set off on an unforgettable full-day journey through the timeless elegance and breathtaking landscapes of Lake Como. Departing from Como, this 8-hour immersive experience covers the lake’s most iconic villas, charming villages, hidden natural wonders, and offers plenty of time to stop for lunch, a swim, or even a private visit (upon request).

Glide past the majestic Villa Olmo and Hotel Villa Flori, then into Cernobbio to admire Villa Erba and the legendary Villa D’Este. Continue to Moltrasio to pass the historic Villa Fontanelle (former residence of Gianni Versace) and Laglio, home of George Clooney’s Villa Oleandra.

Pause to take in the natural drama of the Orrido di Nesso waterfall before heading north to Comacina Island. Explore the island or enjoy a lakeside lunch nearby. Cruise onward to Villa Balbianello in Lenno, one of the most photographed villas in the region, and the stunning gardens of Villa Melzi in Bellagio.

Continue toward the eastern shore to admire Villa Monastero in Varenna, with its exquisite lakeside gardens, and the stately Villa Carlotta in Tremezzina. On the return journey, sail past the beautiful Villa Pliniana in Torno, the exclusive Mandarin Oriental in Blevio, and finally Villa Troubetzkoy, arriving back in Como as the sun begins to dip.

This extensive itinerary offers time for personalized stops, a refreshing swim, or even wine tasting or gourmet picnics (available on request).
