Graced with grand villas and erstwhile seasonal palaces, the western shore of Lake Como is fondly referred to as the Noble Wing. Lovely lakeside gardens and the soaring Alpine backdrop just add to the majesty of the landscapes. Setting out this morning in a privately chartered motorboat with an experienced skipper and English-speaking guide, your exploration of Lake Como will be intimate and paced to your comfort. Arriving in the town of Como at the southern tip of the eponymous lake, you’ll step ashore to do a bit of exploring with your guide. Como’s waterfront promenade and the 14th century Cathedral are two highlights that you might discover before we take you back to your hotel. Meals B
