Description

BOUTIQUE DMC

The program is designed to offer in a few days all the best that LAKE COMO can offer. This small coveted Italian town enjoys a beautiful mild climate during the seasons of spring, summer and autumn. Its proximity to the Milanese metropolis, its airports and the main railway stations make it easily accessible. 

Our properties are located in the historical centre of the city; these apartments are called "Boutique Apartments", thanks to their elegant and refined furnishings. The buildings dispose of AC system and elevator.

Types of apartments: two-rooms apartments, lofts and lake view apartments available.

The program starts with an orientation tour of the city, including the visit of the beautiful cathedral "il DUOMO" and the main streets and monuments of the medieval period. At the end an aperitif will be served in one of the fashionable bars of the city. Dinner in one of the restaurants selected  ( 3 courses).                                    

The next day will be fully dedicated to the glamour and the wonders of the lake, also called by the Huffington Post "the most beautiful lake in the world". The cruise will be on board of an elegant private boat that gives the possibility to sail under the coast to admire at best all the beauties that the lake offers. From the small villages to the majestic heritage Villas. Lunch will be served in a lake-view restaurant in Bellagio; you will visit the Gardens of Villa Melzi and the terraces of Villa del Balbianello.
