At the Sant'Agostino port (Lungo Lario Trieste, 28, 22100 Como CO)
Details
If you are in Como and want to get away from the bustle of the city, you cannot miss a privateboat trip around Lake Como. On board his boat for up to 6 people, Marco will show you the most beautiful places and splendid historic villas overlooking Italy's deepest lake. The itinerary and stops can be arranged directly with him, according to your preferences and the duration of the trip.
We will depart from the Sant'Agostino port. We will make a circular trip along the lake shore. At the beginning, we will be able to admire Villa Olmo and Villa d'Este, the most majestic and marvellous in the area. We will also see the two most famous residences: Villa Fontanelle, formerly owned by Gianni Versace, and Villa Oleandra, the well-known home of George Clooney. During the second hour, we will pass by the Orrido di Nesso, a picturesque natural gorge with a waterfall, and admire the ancient medieval bridge.
During the trip, you will have the chance to stop for a swim and Marco will suggest you the best spots. On the way back to Como, we will pass Villa Pliniana, famous for weddings, and Villa Troubetzkoy, built in the 19th century.
If you choose the three-hour trip, before heading to the east coast, we will cruise to Isola Comacina, the only island on the lake that is home to 12th-century churches ruins, and Villa del Balbianello, which has hosted the film sets of Star Wars and 007.Highlights

Beautiful to see the lake from the water. The waterfall in Nessa is also great.

The boat trip on Lake Como is a real bonus! You can admire the surroundings, the shores, and their natural and architectural treasures even more! Our guide was perfect for that!

This was a wonderful experience! Highly recommended! Our captain was great and did his outmost to make this a memorable experience ! We took the later option 6-8 in the afternoon to avoid the hot hours …The lake at this time is mesmerising ! We were 4 plus our 2 little puppies on board. The highlight of the trip was enjoying a glass of Prosecco overlooking the Nesso bridge and waterfall!
