Lake Como

— Journey —

Jet to Milan + 40 min

Lake Como is the most cinematic lake in Europe — a slender Y of deep water beneath the southern Alps, ringed by villas that have drawn aristocracy since Roman times. FFGR Lyon arranges jet arrival into Milan and chauffeured transfer to Bellagio, Cernobbio or Tremezzo, with private boat charters between the Villa del Balbianello, the Villa Carlotta and the lakeside terraces of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. The Villa d'Este at Cernobbio remains the lake's grande dame — a Renaissance estate turned hotel where old wealth has summered for two centuries. Como rewards slowness: long lunches on the water, gardens descending to the lake, and the silhouette of the mountains at dusk.
