Full description
Forget that branch of Lake Como studied at school: by boat, on the lake is much more fun!
Set sail on a 4½-hour tour to discover the pearls of the Lario, from the scenic Villa d'Este and Villa del Balbianello to the romantic villages of Bellagio and Varenna.
A magical (and not at all boring) journey, topped off with a toast on board!
What we will do
The rendezvous is five minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Como (CO). Here we will meet our skipper and, after the usual introductions, we will board a modern yacht to begin our excursion.
Among the first things we will admire will be the magnificence of Villa d'Este and Villa Versace. We will sail along the western shore to Laglio, where we will be able to spot George Clooney's famous residence.
We will then continue sailing towards Villa Balbianello and Villa La Cassinella. We will head towards Varenna, where we will dock for a free one-hour stop. We will have time to stroll along the lovers' footbridge and lose ourselves in the alleyways of this romantic village.
We will then re-board to reach Bellagio, where we will make a second one-hour stop. We can lose ourselves in the boutiques in the centre, enjoy a coffee overlooking the lake or simply admire the intersection of the three branches of the Lario.
During the tour, if we feel like cooling off, the skipper will choose the perfect spot for a swim in the calm waters of the lake. The return journey will hold more surprises in store for us: we will pass the Orrido di Nesso, the luxurious Mandarin Hotel and Villa Troubetzkoy. In this setting, we will uncork a bottle of prosecco for a final group toast .
The activity will last a total of four and a half hours.
