Overview

Set sail from Como and discover the most exclusive Lake Como : historic villas, residences of international stars and postcard landscapes in one boat tour.

It starts from the Como shore with an immediate view of the Duomo and the Volta Temple, before skirting Villa Olmo, a neoclassical icon of Lake Como.

The first stop is Cernobbio, where three absolute icons parade: Villa d'Este, a historic palace that has become one of the most luxurious hotels in the world; Villa Erba, location of the film Ocean's Twelve; and Villa Pizzo, the setting for John Legend's wedding.

The tour continues with some of the lake's most famous and desired villas: Villa Fontanelle, which belonged to Gianni Versace, and Villa Oleandra, the famous summer residence of George Clooney.

On the opposite bank you can admire Villa Pliniana, directly overlooking the water, and two addresses of international luxury hospitality: the Hotel Sereno and the Mandarin Oriental. The return to Como flows between Villa Trubetzkoy and the fountain of Villa Geno.

Activity itinerary

Villa Olmo (Pass by)

Villa Olmo is one of the most famous neoclassical residences on Lake Como. Built at the end of the 18th century by the Odescalchi family, it stands directly on the shore of the lake with an English park and an imposing facade that is reflected in the water. Today owned by the Municipality of Como, it hosts exhibitions and cultural events of international appeal. It is one of the first iconic views that can be admired sailing north from Como.

Villa Erba (Pass by)

Villa Erba is a nineteenth-century Villa overlooking Lake Como, in Cernobbio, surrounded by a centuries-old park of great charm. It was the summer residence of director Luchino Visconti, who spent his childhood there — a detail that feeds its aura of sophistication and history. Today it is one of the lake's main convention and exhibition centers, and owes part of its international fame to being the location of the film Ocean's Twelve (2004).

Villa d'Este (Pass by)

Villa d'Este is one of the most exclusive and celebrated hotels in the world, located in Cernobbio on the shores of Lake Como. Built in 1568 as a cardinal's residence, it became a royal residence and since 1873 has been a luxury hotel that has welcomed illustrious guests for over 150 years. With its Italian gardens, fountains, floating pool on the lake and sumptuous interiors, it embodies the very idea of Italian elegance in the world. It is regularly ranked among the best hotels on the planet.

Villa Le Fontanelle (Pass by)

Villa Fontanelle is one of the most iconic residences on Lake Como, immersed in the greenery of Moltrasio overlooking the water. Built in the nineteenth century, it owes its international fame to Gianni Versace, who chose it as a summer residence and made it one of the symbols of the link between the lake and the world of fashion and luxury. The property, with its park and characteristic tower, is one of the most photographed and recognizable views of the western shore of the Lake.

Villa Taverna (Pass by)

Villa Taverna is one of the most fascinating neoclassical villas in Torno, a small village perched on the eastern shore of Lake Como. Its origins date back to 1611, with successive expansions in the eighteenth century giving it its present appearance: central body, two side wings connected by galleries and a large English park of about four hectares overlooking the lake. Among its most illustrious guests, Francesco Melzi d'Eril, vice president of the Cisalpine Republic, who resided there during the construction of the nearby Villa Melzi. During the nineteenth century it passed to Poldi Pezzoli and later to Trivulzio, accumulating centuries of Lombard aristocratic history. It is now included among the Places of the Heart of the FAI.

Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como (Pass by)

Mandarin Oriental, Lake Como is located in Blevio, on the eastern shore of the lake, inside Villa Roccabruna, an eighteenth-century mansion full of history. Here the composer Vincenzo Bellini wrote two of his most famous operas — La Sonnambula and Norma — guest of soprano Giuditta Pasta, who owned it. After centuries of history, the Villa has been restored and entrusted to the Mandarin Oriental group, which has transformed it into one of the most exclusive hotels in Lake Como: 75 rooms and suites spread over nine historic buildings, where neoclassical architecture dialogues with a contemporary aesthetic of oriental refinement.
