BLEVIO SIGHTSEEING TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Four Hours on Lake Como: Clooney’s Shorelines, Comacina’s Island and Balbianello’s Terrace
A private, 4-hour boat tour around Lake Como that visits George Clooney’s home in Laglio, Isola Comacina, Villa Balbianello and Bellagio—useful as a concise, on-deck primer for planning this signature outing.
Four Hours on Lake Como: Clooney’s Shorelines, Comacina’s Island and Balbianello’s Terrace.
This is a compact, four‑hour private boat tour of Lake Como that strings together the lake’s most famous addresses: from the public docks at Como you cross into the ribbon of villas and villages—Laglio where you can see George Clooney’s house, the lone island of Comacina, the dramatic promontory of Villa Balbianello and the cobbled lanes of Bellagio—pausing twice for a swim and to take in the waterline architecture that made the lake world renowned.

Outing Highlights
Villa Balbianello and lakeside villas
One of the trip’s showstoppers is Villa Balbianello and the sequence of famed villas and grand hotels that line the shore—a concentrated tour of Lake Como’s most photographed architecture and terraces.
Isola Comacina
The tour includes a visit to Isola Comacina, the lake’s only island, offering a distinct contrast to the mainland villa belt and a singular stop on the itinerary.
Laglio, Bellagio and two swim stops
Expect intimate shoreline moments: passage past Laglio (home associated with George Clooney), a visit to Bellagio and the chance to pause twice for a swim from the boat—small, memorable interludes that define the day.
What the day feels like
What the four hours feel like
