From Varenna, Lake Como reveals its story by boat: a shared tour embracing Menaggio, Tremezzo, Lenno, and Bellagio, featuring iconic villas such as Villa Carlotta and Villa del Balbianello, cinematic lakeside residences, Comacina Island, and water-front gardens like those of Villa Melzi.
The tour departs from Varenna, with its romantic charm and the elegant silhouette of Villa Monastero overlooking the lake.
As soon as the boat picks up pace, the landscape opens up and the route follows the scenic heart of Lake Como, in a shared tour where every stretch offers a different perspective.
You will admire Menaggio, bright and panoramic, with the central lake unfolding before your eyes. Then Tremezzo, land of gardens and great beauty, home to Villa Carlotta and its botanical park.
Lenno is one of the most photographed spots on the lake: here the scenery shifts and becomes cinematic, with the absolute icon — Villa del Balbianello.
Along the next stretch, you will pass some of the most exclusive and picturesque residences, Villa La Cassinella and Villa Balbiano, and the navigation is enriched by sailing in front of Isola Comacina, suspended between history and legend.
Finally, you will see Bellagio, the pearl of the central lake, where the elegance of the gardens of Villa Melzi accompanies your view before returning to Varenna.
