Dol­ce Vita on Lake Como

from 557,- per person

The con­ve­ni­ence of a self-gui­ded star wal­king vaca­ti­on is that you don’t have to live out of your suit­ca­se or be under pres­su­re to reach your next hotel, giving you com­ple­te fle­xi­bi­li­ty. You deci­de how you spend your Ita­li­an geta­way. We offer three self-gui­ded hikes that you can do in the order of your choice. The regi­on is easy to reach (1 hour from Milan air­port) and offers a fan­ta­stic net­work of hiking trails that take you from pret­ty vil­la­ges to spec­ta­cu­lar vil­las and gar­dens. We have spe­ci­fi­cal­ly desi­gned this trip with fle­xi­bi­li­ty in mind and offer you a choice of walks and vil­la visits, inclu­ding Car­lot­ta and Bal­ba­ni­ello, which can be under­ta­ken in any order, allo­wing you to make the most of your time in the regi­on. Your walks will take you across the lake, to pan­o­r­amic views and through orchards and oli­ve gro­ves, all at your own pace. Each night you will stay in the small, char­ming vil­la­ge of Len­no. Spar­k­ling waters, colorful vil­la­ges and well-ten­ded viney­ards, all set against a dra­ma­tic moun­tain back­drop. Lake Como is a jewel that you are sure to fall in love with. Lake Como has been the pre­fer­red vaca­ti­on desti­na­ti­on of the rich and famous sin­ce Roman times, when aris­to­crats were lured by the lavish vil­las and magni­fi­cent gar­dens. Let yours­elf be enchan­ted by the beau­tiful land­scape and exqui­si­te loca­ti­on and expe­ri­ence the dol­ce vita up close.
