A name, an invitation to slow down.
Our Dolce far Niente is a Colombo 21 Super Indios: a classic boat with wooden details, light-coloured seating and an unmistakable silhouette. Its design captures the pleasure of enjoying the lake with ease and elegance.
Its name captures the spirit of the experience: leave the rush ashore, settle aboard and make time for what makes Lake Como special. Passing villas, waterside villages, a toast and the people you have chosen to share it with.
With your skipper at the helm, all you need to do is enjoy the view. That is our idea of dolce far niente.
