Italy’s Lake Como
September 28 – October 4
The breathtaking combination of Mediterranean charm and Alpine majesty has long made Lake Como one of Europe's great retreats. Join us on Lake Como next fall for a special, up-close look at the villas, gardens, villages, and people that give the region its elan. Stay in lakefront rooms at a fine four-star hotel. Meet a delightful noble family for lunch in their frescoed 16th-century home. Tour the house of an Italian entrepreneur who has become the most important collector of American post-war art outside of the United States. Gaze over the lake and sip fine red wines on the panoramic terrace of the home of one of Lake Como's leading wine distributors.
These special visits, combined with guided tours of Bellagio, the stunning Villa Balbianello, the terraced gardens and Neoclassical art of Villa Carlotta, and the historic buildings of old Como, promise to make this tour a memorable one. Also included is an excursion to Milan, bringing us face to face with Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper and taking us behind the scenes at the private workshops of the world-famous La Scala Opera House.
