Magic Villas e Gardens

A journey through legend, cinema and timeless beauty, in the most evocative heart of Lake Como. Let yourself be cradled by the water as the mountains rise around you and the lake's most fascinating villas parade one after another. The journey starts from Argegno, passing through Colonno up to Isola Comacina, the only island on the lake, rich in history and associated, in local tradition, with the legend of the Holy Grail. We continue towards La Velarca and Villa Balbiano, the famous location of House of Gucci, then we skim past Villa La Cassinella and Villa del Balbianello. Its iconic promontory, immortalized in Star Wars and 007 Casino Royale, is one of the most photographed views of the lake. We continue along the coast, through the Golfo di Venere and the Tremezzina, admiring Villa Sola Cabiati, the Grand Hotel Tremezzo and Villa Carlotta with its botanical gardens, before reaching Menaggio. On the way back, Varenna and Bellagio await us, the pearls of the lake, Villa Melzi with its Italian gardens, the evocative Devil's Bridge and other memorable views, until the return to Argegno. Not just a boat tour, but a story of history, cinema and beauty experienced from the water. Villas and gardens are admired from the boat: the tour does not include visits on land. The route can be adapted to lake conditions; availability and final price are confirmed personally.
