Varenna Premium Cruise with Gardens Entrance Villa Balbianello
Hop on board and reach one of the most picturesque places in Lombardy by lake: the gardens of Villa del Balbianello, with priority access included. Villa del Balbianello : a heritage overlooking the lake Built in 1785 by Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini on the tip of the promontory of Lavedo, where an ancient Franciscan convent stood, the Villa has welcomed writers and explorers over the centuries. The last Owner, Guido Monzino, oversaw its restoration and in 1988 entrusted its custody to the FAI. The site is distinguished by the loggia open to the lake basin, the terraced park with breathtaking views and architecture of rare elegance. Also known as a movie location: it was the backdrop for Star Wars: Episode II and 007 Casino Royale.

Where this sits in Lake Como
Lake Como is about 1 hr 18 min by road from Milan Malpensa Airport. Mountains dropping into water, with villages and villa gardens along the shore and ferries doing the work of roads. Bellagio is the postcard; Varenna and Menaggio are easier to stay in.
