Itinerary

Duration: 2 hours (approximately)
  • Isola Comacina (Pass by)

    Isola Comacina is a small wooded island of Italy's Lake Como, administratively a part of the commune of Ossuccio. It is located close to the western shore of the Como arm of the lake in front of a gulf known as Zoca de l'oli, a Lombard name referring to the local small-scale production of olive oil.

  • I Giardini Di Villa Melzi (Pass by)

    The Gardens of Villa Melzi d’Eril, among the most beautiful of Europe, rise along the shores of Lake Como near Bellagio, harmoniously inserted into the hilly landscape between the two branches of the lake. Inside the Gardens stand the Villa, the Chapel and the Orange Greenhouse (or Orangérie), now a Museum of great historical relevance. The Gardens of Villa Melzi d’Eril are a splendid expression of the Neoclassical style, and have been declared a national monument.

  • Bellagio (Pass by)

    Bellagio is a small jewel located on the promontory that separates the two southern branches of Lake Como, those culminating in the cities of Como and Lecco. It is one of the most glamorous and romantic destinations in Lombardy and Italy. In fact, the well-known “Pearl of Lake Como” is home to a colorful historic center, beautiful gardens (parks of Villa Serbelloni and Villa Melzi), charming neighborhoods (such as Pescallo or San Giovanni), and much more. Its central location makes Bellagio perfect for visiting beautiful surrounding towns such as Varenna, Tremezzina or Menaggio… where you can easily arrive by boat!

  • Varenna (Pass by)

    A historic fishing village dating back to the 11th century, Varenna is a unique and characteristic jewel of Lake Como. Its subtle beauty gives amazement and a range of emotion to all those who visit. Stroll along the cobblestone lanes, alleyways and ancient stone stairways. See the famous villas and gardens on foot or from your privately-rented boat. Walk the paths that surround the village or climb up to Varenna’s medieval Vezio Castle. Soak in the sun at the local beach or cool off with a dip in Lake Como.
