A full half-day on Lake Como — villas, a waterfall, a swim, and time ashore in the village or villa of your choice. Your lake, your pace.
The Experience
The Midlake Reverie is our most complete half-day experience. Every cruise includes the same iconic highlights — with up to 90 minutes ashore at a destination of your choosing.
Cruise past Lake Como's most celebrated lakeside estates — Villa del Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, Villa Oleandra and more — with your English-speaking captain narrating the history and stories behind each one.
Included on every cruiseA detour to the Orrido di Nesso — a hidden limestone gorge on the eastern shore where a waterfall drops directly into the lake. One of Lake Como's best kept secrets, almost exclusively visible from the water.
Included on every cruiseYour captain will find a calm, quiet spot on the lake for a refreshing swim. Let us know when booking if you'd like one — towels are provided on request.
On requestUp to 90 minutes to spend ashore at the village or villa of your choice. Explore Bellagio's cobblestone lanes, wander Varenna's waterfront, or arrange a private visit to one of the lake's grand villas.

FAQ
€900 is the total price for the entire private boat — for up to 7 guests. Fuel and captain are always included. The only additional cost would be a small pick-up fee for very distant departure points, which we'll always confirm before you book.
Villa entrance tickets are not included in the tour price and are paid separately on arrival. However, if you'd like us to arrange bookings or a guided visit to Villa del Balbianello, Villa Carlotta or Villa Monastero in advance, just mention it in your booking request and we'll take care of it.
There's no fixed itinerary — the route is tailored around your departure pier and the places you'd most like to visit. When you book, simply tell us where you're staying and what interests you, and your captain will plan the most scenic and logical route for your group.
The 90 minutes ashore is typically spent at one main destination — it's the right amount of time to truly enjoy a village or villa without rushing. If you'd like to visit two places, we can discuss the logistics when you book; it depends on how close the destinations are to each other.
