Auradventure, 8 hours exploring the western branch

Setting sail from Como Sant'Agostino, this 6-hour full-day itinerary will let you discover the most authentic elegance of the Lario, sailing between historic villas, lush nature and fascinating lake landscapes. After departure, you can admire up close the iconic Villa d'Este and the majestic Villa Pliniana, witnesses of the great aristocratic tradition of Como. You continue along the imposing Orrido di Nesso, a spectacular gorge carved into the rock, to then reach the famous Villa Balbianello, nestled in a fairy-tale peninsula that has hosted sets such as 007 Casino Royale and Star Wars. The journey continues towards Bellagio, for a stopover among the panoramic alleys and gardens overlooking the lake, and then to Lenno, where another stop is planned to relax, taste the famous local ice cream shop and visit the town. The day ends at Isola Comacina, a small green jewel suspended over the water.
