private days out of Milan
With someone who knows which door to knock on.
Three itineraries on Lake Como and across the Swiss border. Private car, a guide, and a pace that leaves room to stop.
We leave after breakfast and come back in the evening. Everything between is arranged in advance — the crossings, the villas, the window on Via Nassa worth stopping at.
one lake, read three different Ways
Each is a full day from Milan and back. Same length, same inclusions, same price — what changes is the shore, and what you see from it.
01
The western shore
Como, Cernobbio and the lakefront. Villa Olmo, Villa del Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, Villa d’Este. The ferry crossing to Bellagio and back.
02
The other shore
Lecco and the house where Manzoni grew up, the panoramic road north, Varenna and the Passeggiata degli Innamorati, the gardens of Villa Monastero, and Bellagio arriving from the water.
03
Two lakes, two countries
Como and Lugano in one day. Where the silk is still woven, the villa worth the detour, and Via Nassa with the windows worth stopping at.
