Description
Morning – Villa del Balbianello in the quiet of winter
Reach Lenno by boat. Follow the lakeside promenade to its end: from here begins the path leading to the iconic Villa del Balbianello. Be sure to book your entrance in advance and enjoy one of the most celebrated experiences on Lake Como: the terraces, the panoramic loggia, the sculpted greenery, and the breathtaking views over the mid-lake. Inside, elegant rooms, original furnishings, art collections, and the adventure memorabilia of explorer Guido Monzino tell a fascinating story of journeys, discoveries, and refined taste. In winter, the Villa reveals an even more intimate charm, with soft light brushing the gardens and turning every corner into a painting.
Lunch – Flavours of the Tremezzina
After your visit, return to Lenno and enjoy lunch at one of the restaurants participating in “Tremezzina Gastronomica”. Traditional lake dishes, local products, and warm hospitality make this a moment of genuine flavour and authenticity.
Afternoon – A walk along the Greenway
Continue along the first stretch of the Greenway, from Lenno toward Tremezzo. This simple and scenic walk passes through historic villages, offering a peaceful afternoon immersed in natural beauty. Along the way, as you pass through Mezzegra, don’t miss the Casa dei Presepi, a charming exhibition housing a precious collection of nativity scenes from different eras and traditions. Its intimate and evocative atmosphere adds a special touch to the winter itinerary, celebrating both local craftsmanship and the cultural spirit of the area.
Return – The pleasure of a sunset crossing
Reach the Tremezzo pier and sail back to Bellagio. The short and relaxing boat ride offers views of the lakefront as the lights begin to glow, and the landscape slowly settles into the soft colours of sunset.
Evening – Dinner and relax
End the day with dinner at your accommodation or in one of Bellagio’s open restaurants. Let yourself unwind in the quiet of the village and the charm of the winter lake , the perfect setting to conclude your itinerary.
Extra – Wellness at the SPA of Hotel Du Lac
For complete relax, treat yourself to a moment at the SPA of Hotel Du Lac. Regenerating massages, steam bath, sensory showers, ice cascades, hydromassage pool, and a dedicated relaxation area await you in a peaceful and comfortable environment. All accompanied by complimentary herbal teas for a full experience of well-being and renewal.
