Sail aboard your private boat to the elegant and romantic Villa Balbianello
Create unforgettable memories on Lake Como
Sunshine in Balbianello is a magnificent boat tour of Lake Como to discover its most iconic villas, with the famous Villa del Balbianello as the star.
We depart from Como city to begin our private tour of Lake Como: we glimpse the moving funicular, the Brunate Lighthouse, and the Life Electric monument, honoring physicist Alessandro Volta. Further on, we admire the first two iconic villas of Lake Como, Villa Geno and Villa Cornaggia.
We continue between Blevio and Torno, where you can see elite establishments such as the Mandarin Oriental and Hotel Sereno, as well as splendid Lake Como villas such as Villa Troubetzkoy, Villa Taverna, and Villa Pliniana. We admire the landscape and, under the guidance of our captain, we continue our Lake Como boat tour towards the Orrido di Nesso.
The Villa Balbianello Lake Como tour continues towards Isola Comacina, between Argegno and Lavedo. This is the ideal place for a relaxing stop: you can take a dip and fully enjoy an authentic Lake Como experience. We take the opportunity to enjoy Prosecco and 100% Made in Italy specialties offered by JASI COMO LAKE.
We continue towards Lenno, where we can admire Villa Cassinella (visible only from the lake) and, a little further, the spectacular Villa del Balbianello, the heart of our Villa Balbianello boat tour. This stop is a true boat trip to Villa del Balbianello, perfect for those seeking an exclusive and panoramic experience on Lake Como.
We stop to admire it from a unique perspective and take unforgettable photos: an authentic boat tour of Villa Balbianello that remains one of the most iconic moments of the entire trip.
The beauty of the lake continues to amaze us. In Laglio, Carate Urio, and Moltrasio, we discover some of Lake Como's most famous villas: Villa Oleandra (George Clooney), Hotel Passalacqua, and Villa Fontanelle (Versace). Numerous traditional restaurants along the route are perfect for completing your Lake Como experience.
To conclude this panoramic tour of Lake Como, we head to Cernobbio, a renowned elite destination. Here, we admire Villa Pizzo, Villa Erba, and Villa d'Este from a privileged perspective.
The day was special. Returning to Como, the view from our boat is unique: Villa Olmo, the Volta Temple, and the blue dome of the Cathedral accompany the conclusion of this unforgettable boat tour on Lake Como to Villa Balbianello.
