Enter this charming Renaissance hamlet with beautiful stone houses, frescoes and historic villas. Enjoy an exclusive viewing inside the grounds of private villa and relaxed strolls along the picturesque cobblestone paths.

Head into the mountains enjoying sweeping views across Lake Como - pass vineyards, majestic churches and hidden viewpoints. Walk in and out of tiny hamlets and through private gardens to find unexpected panoramas over the central lake & Bellagio.

We now head down the other side of the valley for views right across Lake Lugano an onto Switzerland. Walk along an old Roman road and through what once was a hilltop castle. These agricultural villages are perfect occasions to experience what life is actually like on the lake, as shepherds, farmers and local producers all go about their daily lives. We reach a local 'ritrovo' or meeting point where locals come to play cards, boules, have a coffee or a glass of wine.

Drive lakeside from the historic centre of Porlezza to enjoy sweeping views across the water.

Our last scenic walk is through the nature reserve of Lake Piano - a peaceful path leads round the lake and is the perfect occasion to enjoy the mountains reflected on the water & take in the surrounding fields and woods - not to mention the Romanesque churches that dot the landscape.

The tour ends in Menaggio where you can enjoy the bustling lakeside at leisure & have easy access to ferries on to your next destination.
