Full description
Fill your eyes with wonder as you take part in a boat tour of the villas (and more) of Lake Como!
In the company of our captain, you will set sail from the centre of Como towards Cernobbio, Laglio, Nesso and other locations overlooking the lake. During the navigation you will enjoy a unique perspective on Villa Versace, Villa Oleandra, Villa Pliniana and other spectacular residences.
A2-hour excursion, imagining a life overlooking the lake!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Como (CO). We will be welcomed by the captain on board his motor boat.
Once all passengers have been boarded, we will set sail to discover Lake Como and its attractions. During the navigation we will admire spectacular villas starting with Villa Olmo, before reaching Cernobbio which will welcome us with its lush gardens framing luxury hotels. We will then say goodbye to Villa d'Este and Villa Fontanelle (also known as Villa Versace) before heading to Laglio, a town that is home to the scenic Villa Oleandra owned by George Clooney.
We will then reach the opposite shore of the lake to cruise in the shadow of theOrrido di Nesso, a rocky canyon with a suggestive waterfall, and then arrive at Villa Pliniana; in front of the latter, on request, it will also be possible to stop for a short swim! On the way back we will also pass Villa Geno and Villa Cagni Troubetzkoy. During the navigation, the captain will not fail to tell us stories and curiosities about the attractions encountered along the way, with his characteristic enthusiasm and passion!
We will finally return to the meeting point. The experience will last a total of 2 hours.
