About the experience

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

Embark on the most complete and luxurious exploration of Lake Como with this full-day 8-hour private cruise, departing from Como. Glide past the elegant Villa Olmo and Hotel Villa Flori, then make your way to Cernobbio, where the majestic Villa Erba and world-famous Villa D’Este stand as icons of opulence.

Continue your journey past Moltrasio and the iconic Villa Fontanelle, once home to Gianni Versace, then on to Laglio for a view of Villa Oleandra, the beloved lakeside home of George Clooney. Take in the dramatic scenery at Orrido di Nesso, where a stunning natural waterfall cascades into the lake.

From there, explore the enchanting Comacina Island, then sail to Lenno to admire the cinematic Villa del Balbianello, one of the lake's most photographed gems. Head north to Bellagio to discover the gardens of Villa Melzi, and cross over to Varenna to explore the romantic Villa Monastero and its panoramic botanical walkways.

In Tremezzina, admire the grandeur of Villa Carlotta, famous for its art collections and vast landscaped gardens. Enjoy time ashore for lunch at a lakeside restaurant or opt for a catered meal onboard (optional extra).

The journey continues with a relaxed cruise southward along the eastern shore, passing Villa Pliniana in Torno, the luxury retreat of Mandarin Oriental in Blevio, and the serene beauty of Villa Troubetzkoy, before returning to Como as the sun begins to set.

This unforgettable full-day experience offers plenty of time for photo stops, swimming breaks, and a deeper appreciation of Lake Como's timeless charm and elegance.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! Roberto was very kind throughout the entire booking process—I'd say he was even overly patient! And Fabio, the driver, is very pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them!

We had a better boat than the one we had booked. With Lucas as skipper. A perfect tour of the lake with many anecdotes about the villas, an aperitif break with white wine facing the beautiful village of Varenna. An unforgettable day that we highly recommend! The most beautiful way to discover Lake Como.
