Overview

Como and its lakeside are a long, shining necklace of small pearls: towns, gardens and villas which dot the coastline, in an enchanting balance of shapes and colors. Bellagio, Tremezzo, Lenno are just some of the charming locations where you may stop to enjoy a beautiful view of Lake Como.
This private tour, starting from the chief town Como, will lead you to the gorgeous Villa Carlotta, well known for its Neoclassic art collection and its botanical garden. Hence, you will cross the lake to reach its pearl, Bellagio, where a Napoleonic mansion stands with its park.
In these surroundings, art meets nature with the same grace of the majestic mountains, harmoniously meeting lake waters.

Stop At: Bellagio, Bellagio, Lake Como, Lombardy

This village, which could even have been founded in the 6th century B.C. by Gauls, has been an exclusive leisure location since the Roman age: Virgilius and Plinius visited the site, the latter even owning a summer residence in the town. Many gorgeous villas have been built in Bellagio and its surroundings throughout the centuries, for example Villa Serbelloni (15th century), now a property of the Rockefeller Foundation.
