Bellagio : shared boat tour to Villa del Balbianello Gardens
Description
It starts from Bellagio and sails towards the heart of the lake centre: calm waters, historic residences and botanical parks that slope towards the shore. From the lake, every corner tells something — a hidden loggia, a balcony overlooking the water, a promontory reflected in the basin below. The main stop is Villa del Balbianello, one of the most sought-after residences in Lake Como and the least accessible independently. Entries are limited : including it in the itinerary guarantees privileged access that many cannot obtain. Terraced viewpoints, landscaped park and understated architecture form a whole of extraordinary charm. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Your ticket includes access to the park, not indoors. Stay on site: about one hour. The return time is assigned to the confirmation. The Villa does not allow exemptions: those who miss the scheduled boarding lose the return service to Bellagio.

Itinerary
Villa del Balbianello is among the most coveted places on Lake Como — and also among the most difficult to reach independently. Access is limited and places sell out quickly – including it on the tour means ensuring an experience that many visitors cannot live. Terraces suspended over the water, terraced gardens and period architecture make up a setting of rare beauty, to be explored without haste. The tour includes VIP access to the Villa gardens.

After checking in, everyone had to stand in the blazing sun for 25 minutes. As a result, we started off with a delay. Thus, there was only about 45 minutes left for the visit to the villa. The return trip also included a stop at a different port. Therefore, we returned approximately 1.5 hours late! And that for about €140 for 2 people. There is really no praise to be given here. !
