Description

My name is Mia and together with my husband Gianni we love showing our lake to our guests. The tour allows you to admire the beautiful coasts of Lake Como, the historic villas that overlook it as well as the wonderful views, in the hidden corners, which can only be seen from the lake. With our four-hour tour, you will arrive in Bellagio (La Perla del Lago) to observe it from the boat or go ashore to stroll through its characteristic alleys. We will then continue to Varenna, another jewel on the lake and then cross the lake until we reach Lenno and Isola Comacina, an ideal place to sip an aperitif or go for a swim thanks to the always calm water that surrounds the island. We will then sail towards Como along the western shore. We will offer you an excellent bottle of prosecco, some snacks and the soft drinks you desire. You don't have to worry about bringing bath towels because you will find them available on the boat. We are waiting for you!

"The Pearl of the Lake". A delightful village located on the promontory from which the two branches of the lake branch off. A real gem with the ancient and suggestive houses of the old village and the characteristic cobbled stairways where the colorful shops parade one after the other. Do not miss the Gardens of Villa Melzi.

The only island of Lake Como. In ancient times there were 9 churches on the island before the people of Como razed them to the ground in 1169. Today only the Baroque church of San Giovanni is still intact. Every year at the end of June, the flight of the island's inhabitants towards Varenna is remembered with a representation during which the lake is lit up as day by thousands of floating candles and at the end of the evening a fireworks display reconstructs the fire and the destruction of the island. The waters around the island are the perfect place to sip an aperitif or go for a swim
