Tremezzina is located on the western banks of Lake Como, just opposite Bellagio, and is the result of a recent merger of the municipalities of Lenno, Mezzegra, Ossuccio and Tremezzo. Visiting Tremezzina means having the opportunity to enjoy a place rich in atmosphere, history, and attractions. For example… did you know that some scenes from Star Wars were filmed here? Among the main must-sees, in fact, Tremezzina is home to two of the most beautiful villas on Lake Como: Villa Balbianelllo, set for major international films and also weddings, and Villa Carlotta, a museum and botanical garden. But there are not only villas. Discover all the must-see places in the most beautiful hamlets of Tremezzo, Ossuccio and Lenno: there are beautiful beaches, historic churches and walks not to be missed.
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. 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.
a real gem arenna is a picturesque and traditional village, located on the eastern shore of Lake Como, Italy. An essential stop for anyone wishing to visit one of the most typical and peaceful towns of the lake. This small village, where you can still breathe in the traditions of yesteryear (above all, fishing), is home to elegant villas with botanical gardens (such as Villa Monastero and Villa Cipressi) and beautiful walks between history and nature (Castello di Vezio and Sentiero del Viandante).
Pescallo is a small quiet village on Lake Como and is located less than a mile from the larger resort town of Bellagio. Having read about this place as being a little fishing community away from the tourist area, I was interested to see it for myself. On my first visit to Lake Como and Bellagio in 2011, I started exploring and found that it was only a short walk to Pescallo. The walk to Pescallo may be short but it is not that simple. For anyone who has difficulty navigating steps or uneven walkways, this trek is definitely not for you. Although Bellagio is at the water’s edge, the town is built on a hill.
We will see this beautiful villa by the water. Number of feature films have used the villa for location shooting, including A Month by the Lake (1995), His Demise starring Paul Zukowski (2016 disaster movie), Casino Royale (2006). The villa was also used for the lake retreat scenes in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones (2002), with computer-generated imagery used in place of the building's true exterior.

What an awesome way to view the highlights of Lake Como! Our tour guide, Fabio, was excellent. He took us from our hotel dock to many of the great sights including Villa Balbianello, Lenno, Bellagio, and Varena. The tour was filled with a wealth of information and sights around the central lake area and I would highly recommend this tour.
Mateu did an excellent job of showing me the towns and villas, including waterfalls. He explained the histories and current uses of the estates and gardens. Boats2Go was kind enough to provide the non-alcoholic version of Sauvignon Blanc and water.

Today we enjoyed the MOST fabulous 3 hour private wooden boat tour with our wonderful tour guide Fabio. We are a family of 7 (myself and my husband along with our 4 adult children (20’s & 30) and 10 month grandson). This boat trip was a delight for every member of our family - Fabio was incredibly knowledgeable on the history of the lake towns and its numerous & magnificent villas. Today’s beautiful trip around the lake will be a memory we talk about for years to come. We can’t thank Fabio enough for how considerate he was accommodating us with a stop for the baby. Additionally he was sure to inform us when we were heading into an area where the boat might get a bit rocky. We very much recommend Boat 2 Go and along with Fabio as your captain! Thank you for such a memorable tour of Lake Como today!
We're really pleased to hear that you and your family had a good experience on the lake with Fabio.

We had an absolutely amazing private boat ride with Boat2go on Lake Como — easily one of the highlights of our trip! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and truly unforgettable. Our captain, Roberto, was fantastic — warm, and knowledgeable. He shared interesting stories and pointed out famous villas and sights along the way, all while giving us plenty of time to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfect for exploring Lake Como in style. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want a peaceful way to see the lake, I can’t recommend this enough. Thank you, Roberto and Boat2go, for an incredible experience!

We went on the 2 hour private tour of Lake Como and could not have been happier with the experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He stopped often and took beautiful pictures of our group. This is a must if you are visiting Bellagio!
Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and the time with your guide. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Fabio explained the history of the places and the lake he was so friendly and helpful we would highly recommend Boat 2 go exceptional service and many trips to choose from. We did think about hiring a boat ourselves but the lake is so vast we definitely made the right choice we saw everything
Thank you for your review. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the tour with Fabio and felt well guided throughout. Choosing a private tour is a great way to explore the lake, and we’re glad it worked out so well for you. Appreciate the recommendation!
