things to do in Lake Como, Italy

Villa Balbianello is a must. It's cinematic (literally—Star Wars and James Bond were filmed there), full of Italian charm, and gives you those “wow” views at every turn. The history is rich, the architecture is stunning, and the entire property is so photogenic it almost feels fake. 

Rent a private boat and cruise past the homes of the rich and famous—including George Clooney’s iconic villa. It’s romantic, peaceful, and honestly one of the best ways to take in the beauty of the area.

This isn’t just lunch—it’s an experience. With views overlooking the lake, perfectly crisp wine, and fresh, flavorful Italian dishes, Hotel Tremezzo gives luxury and leisure. Come for the pasta, stay for the photo ops and ambiance.
