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 gets underway, the landscape opens up and the route follows the scenic heart of Lake Como, on a shared tour where every stretch offers a different perspective.
We will admire Menaggio, bright and panoramic, with the central lake seemingly stretching out before your eyes. Then Tremezzo, a land of gardens and extraordinary beauty, home to Villa Carlotta and its botanical park.
Lenno is one of the most photographed spots on the lake: here, the landscape takes on a cinematic atmosphere, dominated by the iconic Villa del Balbianello.
The next stretch takes us past some of the lake’s most exclusive and spectacular residences, including Villa La Cassinella and Villa Balbiano. The journey also includes a passage in front of Isola Comacina, an island suspended between history and legend.
Finally, we will reach Bellagio, the pearl of the central lake, where you will have approximately one hour to explore the town centre. The tour then departs again for Varenna.
In a single journey, you will experience the most iconic stretch of Lake Como.
