Experience la 'Dolce Vita' in Lake Como like a true local

Starting with a gentle 40 minute hike on the “sentiero del Viandante”, an ancient trail on the foothill of the lake’s mountains, you’ll be able to take in views of the lake before reaching our final destination - a family mountain house passed down through the generations.

Here is where you’ll enjoy a traditional aperitivo with a postcard view of the Lake. Relax while you sip on a crisp Aperol Spritz, glass of wine or refreshing beer, accompanied by a delicious spread of fresh, locally sourced Italian treats.

Watch the sun set over the Alps and experience the true meaning of the Dolce Vita.
