Itinerary

Laglio is a small municipality overlooking the western shore of Lake Como and is part of the Riva Romantica. From abroad you can admire majestic buildings such as Villa La Punta (home of Igor Kogan, Putin's right-hand man) and Villa Oleandra (home of the famous actor George Clooney).

The yellow-painted four-story building was built in the first half of the 19th century in neoclassical style by the eccentric Lord Charles Currie, a visiting Englishman who fell in love with Lake Como. In 1977 it was purchased by the famous Italian designer Gianni Versace and became his holiday home on Lake Como

It is a Renaissance residence located on the shores of the lake. Both the villa and the 25-acre park that surrounds it have been substantially modified compared to the original construction. Since 1873, the complex has been used as a luxury hotel and today Villa d'Este is in the ranking of the 10 most luxurious hotels in the world.

Cernobbio stands on the western shore of Lake Como, the place is known for the beauty of the landscape which has inspired many artists and in addition to art and culture, the village of Cernobbio offers a suggestive panorama and a relaxing environment, on a human scale, ideal for those who want to spend quiet and pleasant days.

Built in the mid-nineteenth century, it has an external lift that connects it to the Como road. It was commissioned by the Russian prince of the same name who, after detention in Siberia, came to live in Belvio. To gain time, he had the rocks on the shore eliminated by exploding mines.

The municipality of Torno is located on the western shore of the lake, about 6 kilometers south of Como, and is characterized by narrow cobbled streets, colorful houses, ancient stately villas and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the lake.

Breathtaking point where you can admire a magnificent waterfall.

Villa del Balbianello is a historic building located in Lenno, it is considered the "Jewel" of Lake Como, being one of the most beautiful villas present. Charming architecture and lush gardens with panoramic views, perfect for special events. It was the key that pushed many Hollywood directors to set famous sagas here, such as those of Star Wars and 007 "Casino Royale".

Historic residence located in Ossuccio, in 2021 Villa del Balbiano was used for the filming of the film House of Gucci.

a particular place where you can admire the wonderful Comacina island, an oasis for those who love relaxation and silence.

Villa Erba is a place of great historical importance, home to the Museum of Luchino Visconti's Rooms, as well as an exhibition and conference centre.

Tremezzo, the middle ground, develops partly along the shores of the lake, among eighteenth- and nineteenth-century villas, and partly along the slopes of the mountains behind.

Perfect for a family

This was an amazing experience. It was myself, my husband, and our 20 month old. We were picked up near our Air BnB in Laglio. We did the 3 hour tour, which was the perfect amount of time to see the main sights, have a stop in Varenna for coffee and a croissant, and still not lose the attention of the toddler. Our captain was extremely knowledgeable about the entire area and provided a depth of information that enhanced the rest of our time there. His recommendation to go to Pigra for dinner and for the view was spot on, though we drove instead of taking the funicular. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Best Boating Experience In Como

I wish my wife and I had booked this sooner. It is a local company with so much knowledge of the lake. The boat was pristine, like something out of a James Bond movie. Will absolutely use B&S next time we are on Lake Como
