Private Boat Trip around Lake ComoIf you are visiting Como, there is nothing better than ending your holiday with a private boat trip with guided tour to the Villas of Lake Como! Itinerary and stops can be arranged directly with the captain, according to your preferences and the tour duration. We recommend navigating along the coast to admire the many historic 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. A stop could also be Isola Comacina: one of the most interesting archaeological sites in northern Italy for the early Middle Ages and the only island on Lake Como! Film lovers can admire Villa Balbianello in Tremezzo, where some scenes from Star Wars and 007 were filmed. If, on the other hand, you are looking for the ideal spot to dive into the refreshing waters of the lake, the Civera Bridge will be the perfect backdrop, with its Romanesque origins and arched shape! Once there, we could even explore the rocky canyon of the Orrido di Nesso and admire the impressive waterfall created by the junction of the Tuf and Nosé torrents. During the stop, we will take the opportunity to make a toast and eat some snacks! During the more protracted tours, we can also reach Bellagio, the pearl of Lake Como, and the beautiful village of Varenna.Highlights - Guided private boat trip with views of historic villas on Lake Como, including Villa Fontanelle (former Versace), Villa Oleandra (George Clooney's), and Villa Balbianello (set of Star Wars and 007) - Customisable itinerary with swimming stops of your choice - Apéritif with wine or prosecco Itinerary The itinerary can be agreed with the captain according to your preferences and the tour duration, and may include stops in: - Como dock - Cernobbio - Moltrasio - Laglio - Isola Comacina - Tremezzo - Bellagio - Varenna - Orrido di Nesso - Torno - Blevio How to get there We meet at the small dock in Como, at the exact time of departure.
