- Villa Le Fontanelle - This four-story yellow building, constructed in the early 19th century in a neoclassical style by the eccentric Englishman Lord Charles Currie, who fell in love with Lake Como, was purchased in 1977 by the famous Italian designer Gianni Versace and became his holiday retreat.
- Villa d’Este - A Renaissance villa on the lake’s shores, both the villa and its surrounding 25-acre park have been significantly altered from their original design. Since 1873, it has operated as a luxury hotel and is now ranked among the world’s top 10 most luxurious hotels.

Awesome day on the water - Don’t several hours touring Como. Easy pickup out hotel pier, on time. Mix if sight seeing swimming and jumping off a bridge into the water. Kids had a blast. Prosecco, water and sodas provided. Boast was very clean and good seating options. Eduardo was great, personality, flexibility and making whole group happy. Highly recommend.

Unreal amazing experience. - We were two families. Eight people total. We had the absolute best time ever and Edoardo was an amazing captain. He knew all the sites and places to go, took us to special swimming spots and we could not have asked for a better captain. I rarely write these reviews, but I must say this was absolutely perfect. Well worth it and will do it again if we have a chance. Highly recommend this group.

Beautiful experience. Highly recommended - Tour with friends and relatives visiting from Florida attracted by the views of Lake Como.
Super experience, we were a group of 6 adults and 4 teenagers and everyone was enthusiastic.
In addition to the beauty of the lake, the professionalism and availability of Simone and Edoardo made the difference.
Our skipper, Edoardo, always ready to give us information and assistance with great courtesy. Very nice boat.
Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Lake Como Captain hotter then George Clooney - ain’t no BS with this boat company - Getting out on the water at Lake Como is what it’s all about and you can’t go wrong in the hands of Edwardo from B&S boating! Not only was he one of the most handsome men my daughter and I have ever met, but he also managed the boat like a boss plus he told us all of the great stories about the amazing gardens and villas. The only disappointment was the weather / it was a little bit cold and rainy and we were just dying to get our bathing suits on and sun tan like supermodels in front of George Clooney‘s house
