Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

This elegant neoclassical Villa was the summer residence of Duke Francesco Melzi, one of Napoleon's closest collaborators. Built in the early nineteenth century, it is surrounded by a spectacular park with exotic plants, temples and romantic views that descend directly to the lake.

An ancient noble residence overlooking Bellagio from above, Villa Serbelloni has Renaissance origins and an immense terraced park with breathtaking views of the two branches of the lake. Once home to noble families and illustrious scholars, today it is famous for its scenic paths surrounded by nature

A hidden gem among the gardens of Lenno: Villa La Cassinella looks like something out of a fairy tale, with flowery paths, cypress trees that skim the sky and terraces that descend directly into the blue of the lake. Elegant, reserved and enveloped by an almost magical aura, it is one of the most fascinating and dreamy residences on Lake Como

A romantic masterpiece overlooking the lake, Villa Cipressi stands out for its iconic cypresses that descend to terraces to the water. Between staircases, fragrant gardens and dreamy views, this Villa seems a small eden suspended between history and poetry, in the heart of Varenna

An ancient residence born from a medieval monastery, transformed into an elegant Villa that stretches for over a kilometer along the lake. Its flowered terraces, palm trees and loggias overlooking the water create an almost enchanted atmosphere. In Varenna, Villa Monastero is one of the most romantic places on Lake Como, where history and beauty come together in one magic.
