What to expect
Villa Gaeta
While sailing towards Bellagio, you will see Villa Gaeta in the distance on our right. Elegant Villa in eclectic style overlooking the lake, famous for its scenic architecture and for being an international film set.
Continuing towards Bellagio, in the distance we can see Menaggio. Elegant town overlooking the western shore of Lake Como, Menaggio is appreciated for its panoramic lakefront, lively squares and relaxed atmosphere. Surrounded by mountains and historic villas, it offers suggestive views and a perfect balance between nature, charm and lake tradition.
Known as the “Pearl of Lake Como”, Bellagio rises at the point where the two branches of the lake meet. The village enchants with its elegant historic villas, gardens overlooking the water, stone staircases and picturesque alleys full of atmosphere. From the lake it offers one of the most iconic and photographed views of the entire area.
Before reaching the small village of Pescallo, the navigation will skirt the picturesque rock wall located in the east of Bellagio, creating a natural scenery of great impact. Pescallo is an ancient fishing village, intimate and authentic, with houses overlooking the water and a quiet and timeless atmosphere.
Castello di Lierna
Once at Borgo di Rivabianca we will stop for a snack in the quiet waters of the small gulf, a private and relaxing corner nestled between lake and mountains. The village retains an authentic and silent atmosphere, with a few houses overlooking the water and a landscape that has remained intact over time. From the bay you can see the ancient Lierna Castle, a medieval fortified complex overlooking the lake. Today some historical structures and parts of the walls are recognizable, testimony of the ancient defenses of the village.
Visible returning to Varenna on the way back, born as an ancient monastery and transformed over the centuries into a noble residence, it is famous for its long botanical garden that extends along the shore, offering one of the most refined and suggestive views of Lake Como.
In the distance, above Varenna, you can see the Castle of Vezio, an ancient medieval fortification overlooking the lake from the top of the promontory. Its panoramic position offers a strategic view of the two branches of Lake Como and represents one of the most recognizable historical testimonies of the territory.
