Two hours of villas, villages and the magic of Nesso
The tour can depart from Como or, on request, another agreed boarding point. We work around your needs and confirm the available options together. Aboard your private boat, with your skipper at the helm, we follow the shores past villas, gardens and small villages viewed directly from the water.
On the outward journey we follow the eastern shore: Villa Troubetzkoy and the Mandarin Oriental in Blevio, then Il Sereno and the village of Torno. We continue past Villa Pliniana in its secluded green setting, before passing Pognana Lario and reaching Nesso.
One of the route’s most beautiful views awaits: Ponte della Civera, the village houses and the gorge and waterfall behind them. We take time to admire the scene and capture your photos from the boat, preserving a special perspective on the lake.
On our return we follow the western shore past Brienno towards Laglio. Here we admire Villa Regina Teodolinda and Villa Oleandra, known as George Clooney’s home. We continue towards Carate Urio and Moltrasio, passing the lido and Villa Fontanelle, associated with Gianni Versace.
The final stretch takes us towards Cernobbio, past Villa Pizzo, Villa d’Este and Villa Erba, before returning to the agreed location.
