The motor ticks once and the wooden hull answers, sending a polite wake along Lake Como’s glassy skin. In an hour you move from the bustle of Como’s harbor into a quieter ribbon of water where 19th‑century villas lean toward the lake and cypress trees seem to confer with the mountains. The boat — an original 1957 wooden craft — gives the short cruise an old‑world cadence: varnished planks, a low rumble, and the click of shutter buttons.
