What to expect
Como
The most important center on the Lake is Como, with its valuable monuments, the pretty old town and the suggestive views. You will take a stroll with your tour guide around the city and then you will have the chance to enjoy a wider panorama by taking the funicular that connects Como to Brunate.
180 minutes
Cattedrale Di Como
Almost four hundred years were employed by the Como workers for the construction of the Cathedral, started in 1396, whose facade is still one of the most remarkable examples of late Gothic in northern Italy. Built to replace a previous structure, always dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, the works for its construction ended in the first half of the eighteenth century with the construction of the dome designed by Filippo Juvarra. Of particular interest is the facade made between 1455 and 1486 and enriched with sculptural decorations, work largely of Giovanni Rodari's workshop which was responsible for the authorship of the two podiums with the statues of Pliny the Younger and Pliny the Elder.
30 minutes
Admission Not Included
Cernobbio
Cernobbio is a few steps from Como, and stands at the foot of Mount Bisbino (1325 m). Since the first decades of this century, Cernobbio was one of the favorite vacation spots for wealthy families from Como and Milan: this is testified by the large number of villas and gardens in the area. ( if you choose the option with Villa del Balbianello this spot is not included )
60 minutes
Villa Carlotta
Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo is a place of rare beauty. The splendid residence was commissioned at the end of the 1600s by the Marquis Giorgio Clerici, but it was with Gian Battista Sommariva, the next owner, that the villa reached its maximum splendor. He was responsible for transforming the garden into an extraordinary romantic park. In the mid-nineteenth century the property was donated to Carlotta of Prussia on the occasion of the wedding with George II of Sachsen-Meiningen; the latter, a botanical enthusiast, worked hard to enrich the vast landscaped garden. In April and May villa Carlotta offers an authentic sea of multicolored azaleas, arranged in high rounded cushions along some paths. The effect is extraordinary, both for the chromatic variety and for the size of the shrubs. It is a flowery path of great charm.
120 minutes
Admission Not Included
Villa Del Balbianello
Villa del Balbianello will leave you breathless, due to its beautiful terraced gardens and picturesque structure. Located on the tip of the Lavedo headland, in the locality of Lenno (part of Tremezzina), the villa provides a stunning view of Isola Comacina and the western shore of Lake Como. The Villa is now home to private events such as weddings, ceremonies and even film or photographic sets. ( visit of the Gardens only by choosing relevant option at the moment of the reservation )
