Sitting at the base of the Alps, Lake Como’s deep blue water and stunning vistas have drawn people to the northern region of Lombardy for centuries. With Como’s reputation as the “Silk City”, you’ll find negozi (Italian shops) selling luxury silk accessories tucked between Romanesque churches and tavola caldas (eateries serving up hot, fresh bites on the go). Then there’s the lake itself, bordered by cobblestone promenades, public gardens, gelaterias, and elegant 16th-century villas.
Touching down in Milan, you’ll be met by your private driver. They’ll ferry you to the stylish shores of Lake Como, where you’ll stay for three nights in the palatial luxury of Grand Hotel Tremezzo. You’ll spend your first day and night settling in. Relaxing at the hotel’s world-class spa within the 18th-century Villa Emilia, dining on traditional Marchesi dishes at the lakefront La Terrazza, and soaking up the sun at T Beach, the hotel’s private lido.
After being shown a variety of routes and spots by your helpful concierge, you’ll pick up the keys to an Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider – your elegant transport for the day. Beside glittering Lake Como, you’ll cruise through the natural beauty of the surrounding area, passing green mountains, rolling valleys, and terracotta-tiled villages. When hunger strikes, the brunch hamper provided will enable you to have one of the most scenic picnics of your life.
Swapping an Alfa Romeo for a Venetian Lancia Ruy and ‘battello’ (a traditional Italian boat synonymous with the lakes), you’ll head to the water to experience the lake in all its splendour, visiting some of Como’s most illustrious addresses: the Casino Royale film set of Villa del Balbianello, the wisteria-crawled Villa d’Este, “the Pearl”. We’ll also arrange for you to enjoy a champagne picnic on a secluded island.
