Lake Como is known for its glamorous villas and sprawling gardens, and this tour lets you experience them firsthand. Travel in a vintage Fiat 500, converted to electric for a smooth, quiet ride. Along the way, pause at panoramic lookouts to capture photos and soak in the beautiful views.
Your first stop is at one of Lake Como’s most iconic villas: Villa del Balbianello. Located on a wooded peninsula, it’s known for its perfectly manicured gardens and sweeping lake views. You will self-explore the gardens while your driver awaits you in the vehicle.
The day continues with a meal at a secret local favorite. Dine at a charming restaurant that feels worlds away from the crowds. Enjoy a leisurely Italian meal, complete with wine (or maybe a spritz?), and soak in the view that only the locals seem to know about. It’s the perfect way to relax in true Lake Como style.
*If Villa del Balbianello is unavailable, the villa visit will be to Villa Carlotta.
Please notify at time of booking of any food restrictions/allergies.
