About this experience
If you've come to Milan and are tired of boutiques, city noise, and museums, I know where to send you. Surprisingly, in less than an hour, you will find yourself in a real fairy tale: mountain peaks, magnificent gardens, and villas... All this is Lake Como! The program includes the obligatory attributes of dolce vita: engaging conversations, vibrant sights, and cozy restaurants.
What to Expect
- Vecio Castle - our journey will begin here. From the top of the mountain where it is located, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the lake and surroundings. We will try to unravel the secrets of its rich history and stroll through the garden where gypsum casts of volunteer tourists are hidden.
- Bellagio - this charming town is considered the most famous on Lake Como and in all of Northern Italy. We will explore its streets, admire the architecture, and beauty of local villas and buildings. Special attention will be given to the following structures:
- Villa Melzi d'Eryl with beautiful English-style gardens
- Villa Serbelloni, which houses a popular hotel
In Bellagio, we will stop for lunch at one of the restaurants for you to try local fish or other Italian dishes. Then we will board a ferry and enjoy panoramic views of villas, gardens, colorful houses, and churches.
- Varenna - a true gem of the lake with a unique atmosphere of a medieval town. We will explore the local streets and attractions, stroll through the botanical gardens of Villa Cipressi or Villa Monastero, where exotic flowers and cypresses grow. And we will definitely visit the "Lovers' Lane" - an alley covered with ivy and flowers, leading from the town center to the harbor.
