It is easy to reach Lake Como for an inspirational day amongst the dramatic scenery and high style. We can make all the arrangements for your preferred itinerary. One recommendation is a Milan train and slow ferry across the lake to Bellagio, for a relaxing lunch. Then a return with the fast ferry to Varenna and train to Milan.
Ten minutes’ walk from our hotel is the Villa Invernizzi, home to an unexpected flock of flamingos grazing on the lawns. A rather exquisite sight.
