Cruise towards the heart of the lake, discovering the renowned villas that line the shores of Cernobbio, Moltrasio, and Laglio, including Villa Le Fontanelle, once home to Versace, and Villa Oleandra, George Clooney’s residence. On the opposite bank, in the charming village of Torno, stands the majestic Villa Pliniana, built in 1573. Crossing the lake once again and heading north, you will encounter the famous Comacina Island, the only island on Lake Como, which played a key role in the region’s history during Roman times and the early Middle Ages. Continuing to the tip of the Lavedo peninsula, one of the most enchanting and romantic residences on the lake comes into view: Villa del Balbianello, a stunning location featured in iconic films such as Casino Royale and Star Wars, and now a prestigious venue for exclusive events. Today it is home to many luxurious events. The journey continues towards Bellagio, the Pearl of Lake Como, celebrated for its picturesque historic centres, luxury boutiques, and the magnificent Villa Melzi d’Eril, with its elegant gardens stretching along the waterfront. The experience also includes a visit to Varenna, often referred to as the Portofino of Lake Como. The itinerary features a stop at one of the lake’s restaurants, selected based on your departure point. Alternatively, you may choose one of our curated packed lunches, prepared by our trusted chef, to be enjoyed on board or at our Yacht Club and Riva Private Deck. The experience can be further tailored with the option to visit Bellagio, Varenna, or Villa del Balbianello.
Cruise across the basin of Como, gliding past Villa del Balbianello and Comacina Island before arriving in Nesso, a charming fishing village that reveals a hidden natural wonder. In its historic hamlet, a Roman bridge spans a deep gorge where the clear waters of a cascading waterfall meet those of the lake. The journey then continues toward George Clooney’s renowned lakeside residence. Feeling like a refreshing dip? Simply ask your boat driver to guide you to the most serene spots, where the water is cooler and perfectly calm.
