Villa del Balbianello is the highlight of the day! One of Lake Como’s most iconic villas, known for its beautifully kept gardens and sweeping lake views. Your experience begins with a scenic drive in a vintage Fiat 500, converted to electric for a quiet ride. Along the way, you’ll stop at scenic viewpoints for photos and to take in the views without rushing.
You'll head to Villa del Balbianello, set on a wooded peninsula and perfect for wandering at your own pace while your driver waits nearby. It’s peaceful and feels worlds away from the busy parts of the lake.
After the villa, you’ll head to one of our favorite local restaurants. Enjoy a leisurely Italian lunch, complete with wine (or a spritz!), and a view that feels like a local secret. This tour is an easy, unhurried way to experience the best sides of Lake Como.
*If Villa del Balbianello is unavailable, the villa visit will be to Villa Carlotta.
Please let us know at the time of booking if you have any food restrictions or allergies.
We provide pickup & drop-off at your hotel.
Please note: We do not offer tours to/from Bellagio or Varenna. This experience is available exclusively on the western shore of Lake Como. If we’re unable to provide pickup from your accommodation, we’ll happily arrange a convenient meeting point at a dock on the other side of the lake.
