BOAT TOURS

Lake Como is best experienced by boat! We highly recommend scheduling a boat ride during your visit.

Public ferries will allow you to explore the charming, centuries-old villages and villas that are dotted around the lake's edge. We recommend taking the express ferry to your destination to avoid stopping in every single village.

Our favorite villages to explore are Como, Bellagio, and Varenna.

To schedule a private boat tour, we recommend:

BEACH CLUBS & WATER SPORTS

Lido di Cernobbio: A lakeside pool, restaurant, and cocktail lounge located in the main square of Cernobbio, just steps from Hotel Miralago.

Lido di Lenno: A popular beach club and restaurant further up the lake, near the town of Bellagio.

Water Experience Center: Another fun way to experience the lake: by wakeboard, waterskis, or paddle board!

BRUNATE & VOLTA LIGHTHOUSE

One of the best views of the lake is from the small resort town of Brunate, which can be reached from the city of Como by funicular, a cable railway that has been in operation since 1894. From Brunate, a 30 minute hike will take you to the fabulous view of the lake from the Volta Lighthouse.

TOUR HISTORIC VILLAS

Villa Balbianello: This 18th century villa is famous for its stunning terraced gardens and panoramic views of the lake, so it's no wonder it has served as a backdrop for James Bond and Star Wars films.

Villa Carlotta: A beautiful 17th century villa surrounded by botanical gardens.
