About This Tour
For those who want to experience Lake Como in its entirety, without missing a thing. Endless Lario goes beyond the usual itineraries: from the most celebrated villas of the central lake to the wildest and most surprising views towards Nesso, with just the right time to enjoy every stop. Along the way we will also see the charming Villa La Gaeta.The cruise starts from the central lake, with departures from Varenna, Bellagio, Lenno, Tremezzo and Menaggio. From the water we will admire Villa Cipressi and Villa Monastero, then Villa Melzi with its gardens overlooking the lake, until we reach Villa del Balbianello. Here, if you wish, we can stop for about 40 minutes to visit it at your leisure: the stop is optional and you decide whether to make it.
Back on the water, we will sail past the elegance of Villa La Cassinella and the grandeur of Villa Balbiano, pushing on to Nesso and its spectacular waterfall, and further still to Villa Oleandra, George Clooney's home. On the way back we will pass Isola Comacina, the only island on Lake Como, and then Lenno, Tremezzo with the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, and Villa Carlotta.
A complete, unhurried itinerary, to take Lake Como home with you in all its beauty.
Entrance ticket to Villa del Balbianello not included: it can also be purchased on site, at the villa entrance.
The itinerary and stops are indicative: if you would like to do something different or reach a place especially dear to you, we can take you straight there, as long as the time booked allows.
