If you want to admire Lake Como's most stunning and hidden spots, there's nothing better than discovering them directly from the water by private boat. Whether you prefer a modern speed boat or an exclusive Riva vintage boat, a day plowing the waters of Lake Como is a truly unique experience.

Around the midsection of the wishbone-shaped lake, are grouped the most famous and lovely villages of the Como area, including the elegant timeless Bellagio and the picturesque Varenna. Shopping in Bellagio is special: walking along steep narrow cobblestone streets lined with quaint little shops and upscale boutiques. And there are many more beautiful locations to uncover: from Menaggio to Bellano, with its Orrido gorge and the Cà del Diavol (The Devil’s Home), evocative and mysterious places which have inspired stories and legends for centuries.

An unforgettable helicopter ride to Samedan in the near Swiss Engadin, a shopping in St. Moritz, a short train ride to Pontresina in a 1st class wagon on the Bernina Express (the red train), a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008. A horse-drawn carriage ride through the splendid the Roseg Valley to the Roseg Gletscher historical restaurant with a vast panorama of the most imposing mountaintops of the Bernina Range.

Following the plot of Paolo Sorrentino’s 2014 Oscar winning movie “The Great Beauty”, guests will be welcomed in a splendid apartment located right on the Piazza Navona. There, guests will taste the finest Italian wines and delicatessen while enjoying the best view on the Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers, the best of Baroque as to offer.

Surrounded by regal Alpine peaks of the Alto Adige region, staying at an enchanting mountain retreat, try a new way to literally cut the stress: Stefano, the lodge owner, will take you with him to the forest to chop the wood, explaining the technique and inviting you to give it a try ... ancient gestures that will help your mind free itself from daily worries.
