Bellagio Sailing LOMBARDY, ITALY
In Northern Italy, Lake Como stands as one of Europe’s most iconic destinations, where alpine landscapes are peppered with elegant historic villas and picturesque lakeside villages. Life here has always been closely connected to the water. For centuries, the lake served as a route for trade, transport and communication between communities. Today, that heritage lives on through exclusive leisure experiences that allow travellers to enjoy the tranquillity of the lake, the sound of wind in the sails and the constantly changing light reflected across the water. Exploring Lake Como by boat remains one of
the most authentic ways to experience the region. Sailing has shaped local life for generations, and Bellagio Sailing continues that tradition through private excursions aboard carefully selected boats, offering guests a slower and more intimate perspective of the lake. Routes can include visits to iconic lakeside towns such as Varenna, Menaggio and Tremezzo, each known for its historic architecture, colourful waterfronts and sweeping mountain views. Along the way, guests pass grand
villas surrounded by lush gardens, secluded coves accessible only by water and centuries-old churches perched above the shoreline. Many excursions also offer the chance to stop for lunch in a traditional lakeside restaurant, swim in quieter areas of the lake during the warmer months or enjoy an aperitivo on board while watching the sunset. From the water, visitors can admire iconic
landmarks such as Villa Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, Villa Melzi and Villa Monastero from a unique vantage point, while learning about the history of the lake and its long-standing sailing traditions. Sailing excursions also reveal more intimate local customs that still define life around the lake, from artisanal fishing practices preserved in some villages to the deeply rooted aperitivo culture enjoyed beside the water in the early evening. As the sun begins to set, the lake takes on shades of gold and pink, creating one of Northern Italy’s most memorable natural spectacles. Sailing allows visitors to experience Lake Como at
its most authentic, unhurried and immersive, with every journey revealing a different side of the lake.
