Lake Como — villas, gardens and the most photogenic lake in Italy
Bellagio, Varenna, Villa del Balbianello and Villa Carlotta on a glacial lake rimmed by the pre-Alps — one hour by private chauffeur from Milan.
About this destination
Lake Como's inverted-Y shape gathers a thousand years of villa culture into a single shoreline. Bellagio sits at the fork between the Como and Lecco branches; Varenna faces it across the deepest stretch of water in Italy; Tremezzo holds Villa Carlotta and its botanical gardens; Lenno protects Villa del Balbianello, the cinematic peninsula seen in Casino Royale and Star Wars. The lake's microclimate keeps gardens flowering well into autumn, and George Clooney's Villa Oleandro at Laglio anchors the celebrity geography.
Best time to visit
April–October; gardens peak in May and again in late September.
Why a private transfer
Lakeside roads are narrow and parking near villas is restricted — a private Mercedes drops you at the gate and waits while you visit.
