Incentive trip to Lake Como

After breakfast, we board a private cruise on the waters of Lake Como… The boat offers a privileged point of view, in fact the saying “the Lake is seen on the Lake” is absolutely true. The private boat allows us to get very close to all the most beautiful and famous villas: you can admire their facades and wonderful gardens, which would otherwise remain a secret. It is also possible to see the most characteristic villages, which are also facing the lake.

We can decide on the theme of your boat excursion, for example focusing on the historical villas of the Belle Époque: during that period, the lake welcomed the great personalities of the world of music and opera in particular. Vincenzo Bellini composed on the waters of the lake his most famous opera, Norma’s Casta Diva. Today, the villa that inspired Bellini is a luxury hotel located in front of his apartment in Moltrasio. Giuseppe Verdi drew inspiration for his opera La Traviata during his stay in the villa Griante, wanted by the famous publisher Ricordi. Bellagio is instead indissolubly linked to Liszt, who lived one of the most difficult moments of musical creation. Later transferred to Como, he gave birth to Wagner’s future wife.

Or we can focus on the villas that have hosted or still host illustrious personalities of the international jet set: Versace, George Clooney, Richard Branson, international rock stars, etc.,

Or the locations that have been the setting for very famous films such as:

Once Upon a Time in America (scenes with Robert De Niro at the Bellagio); Ocean Twelve with Clooney, Pitt… (Villa Erba); Casino Royale, Craig (Villa Balbianello), etc.

Lunch in an exclusive location on the lake shore.
