The lake's most beautiful hour
At sunset Lake Como changes character: villa facades glow orange, ferry traffic fades and the water turns into a mirror.

Prosecco is on board; the light does the rest.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Short, sweet and absolutely worth it. It's only an hour, but it's so worth it. The views of the hills and the villas from the water are stunning, and the stories were so detailed and interesting. Our captain,…
