Begin your journey in Bellagio and cruise across the tranquil waters of Lake Como. As you sail toward Villa del Balbianello, enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and picturesque lakeside villages. Arrive at the villa, a historic jewel transformed from a Franciscan monastery into an elegant lakeside retreat. Stroll through the spectacular terraced gardens — a masterpiece of landscape design — where ancient trees, graceful statues, and blooming flowerbeds create a peaceful and refined atmosphere. Inside (not included in your ticket), visitors can admire collections of furniture, artworks, and expedition artifacts left by explorer Guido Monzino. The villa is also renowned as a filming location for Star Wars and Casino Royale, adding cinematic charm to this iconic destination. Enjoy extended free time to explore the gardens and take in the beauty and tranquility of this unique place at your own pace. Please note: the ticket includes VIP access to the gardens only. Entrance to the interior museum is not included. Do not miss the boat that leaves from the villa for the return to Bellagio; there are no other scheduled ones. At boarding, you will be given a bracelet indicating the departure time from the villa. We recommend being at the pier 5 minutes before the indicated time. Thank you.

Villa Balbianello is beautiful. Unfortunately it was so busy and far busier than when we last visited 15 years ago. We had about an hour in the gardens and spent more time on the boat as the return journey went via Menaggio and Varenna before returning back to Bellagio, which we weren’t told about, but as we had spare time it want not an issue for us. The staff were very helpful and polite.

The Villa and grounds were absolutely amazing. its a must see. The actual boat trip was very dissapointing. Overcrowded and absolutely no commentary. They could atleast say where we were stopping, maybe mention some sights we passed and what it was. We didn't even know which stop we were at with confused people not knowing if that was their stop. Basically a transport vehicle. Villa a great highlight though.
