Details

Join us for a boat trip around Lake Como, and let us take you to discover the lake's most charming attractions! Together with our captain, you will have the opportunity to navigate along the entire Como branch as far as Varenna, and immerse yourself in this naturalistic oasis that has fascinated some of the most illustrious personalities of Italian history. If you are looking for breathtaking landscapes, this trip is not to be missed!

Starting from Como, the first attraction we will see is the Life Electric, a sculpture dedicated to the Como scientist Alessandro Volta, known for inventing the world's first electric generator! Afterwards, we will sail along the coast to admire the many historical villas that line the lake. Among the most celebrated ones, you will see Villa Erba and Villa d'Este, even though the ones that intrigue our guests the most are Villa Fontanelle, which was once the residence of Gianni Versace, and Villa Oleandra, owned by George Clooney. Our tour will continue to Lake Como's only island, Isola Comacina: one of the most interesting archaeological sites from the early Middle Ages in northern Italy. Next, we will head to Tremezzo, where we will find Villa Balbianello (where some scenes from Star Wars and 007 were filmed) and Villa Carlotta, with its botanical garden visible from the lake!

At this point, we will move to the other shore to discover Bellagio, the pearl of Lake Como, and the beautiful village of Varenna. Afterwards, we will reverse course and sail towards the Civera Bridge, which will be the perfect background as we dive into the refreshing waters of the lake! Once there, we will also explore the rocky canyon of the Orrido di Nesso and admire the impressive waterfall created by the junction of the Tuf and Nosé torrents. We will take the opportunity of this stop to make a toast and eat some snacks! After restarting the engines, we will reverse course and continue our tour, heading back towards the starting pier in Como, but not before seeing some other charming villas, including Villa Pliniana and Villa Mirabella.
