Full description
Surely you have heard of Villa Balbianello. The most famous villa on Lake Como, located on the promontory of Lavedo, has not only been the residence of writers, poets and artists of all times, but also the film set of famous Hollywood movies.
With our exclusive motorboat tour you can admire the beauty of Villa Balbianello from a unique perspective.
What are you waiting for? Call your friends and get ready to spend 3 hours sailing among the splendid villas and colourful villages of Lake Como.
What we will do
We will meet at the Como pier at the time selected during the booking process. Once you and your group have boarded the motorboat for exclusive use, we will be ready to depart.
As we leave the pier we will admire the village of Cernobbio and its villas: Villa Erba, the historic Villa d'Este and Villa Pizzo.
We will then head towards the village of Torno to admire Villa Pliniana, famous for inspiring artists and scientists such as Leonardo da Vinci, and Laglio, with Villa Oleandra. I, your skipper, will be on hand to reveal interesting anecdotes and curiosities about these places.
We will continue the tour in the direction ofIsola Comacina and, after a few minutes' sailing, we will finally catch a glimpse of the marvellous Villa Balbianello with its gardens, where some scenes from Star Wars - Episode II and James Bond - Casino Royale were filmed.
On the return journey, we will see theOrrido di Nesso, Blevio and other picturesque lakeside villages. Finally, I will offer a glass of prosecco to toast this beautiful experience.
