Highlights
- Como - I’ll meet you at the Como pier at the Lario bar, where our incredible adventure will begin.
- Life Electric - We’ll pass the breakwater to see Life Electric, an installation by Daniel Libeskind. Then, we’ll continue past the seaplane hangar and head north towards Villa Olmo.
- Villa Olmo - We’ll pass by Villa Olmo, a neoclassical villa in Como (1797) designed by architect Simone Cantoni. This impressive structure was commissioned by the Odescalchi marquises of Fino Mornasco and is depicted in an 1838 painting by Giuseppe Bisi.
- Villa Erba - Heading north along the western shore, we’ll admire Villa Erba, one of Lake Como’s most significant villas. Built between 1894 and 1898 by architects Angelo Savoldi and Giovan Battista Borsani for Luigi Erba, brother and heir of pharmaceutical magnate Carlo Erba, this two-story villa is designed in Alessian mannerist style. Today, it hosts international trade fairs, conferences, and events.

Sublime Lake Tour - Absolutely gorgeous way to tour the sparkling waters of lake Como and the iconic region! Glasses of Prosecco were brought out as we chilled in a shelter area admiring grand Italian villas and their manicured cypress gardens whilst receiving the full lowdown of the place’s history and all the villas, villages and landmarks around us!

Too expansive for what it offers - The boat driver was in a hurry to end our trip and get new clients. Bubble wine in plastic water cup. No towel. Boat a bit old, need a refurbishment. Stop expensive for what it offers.
