The pier in Como slips away and the lake opens like a cool throat of sky—glassy in the morning, wind-creased by afternoon. Your private launch glides past Daniel Libeskind’s Life Electric and the neoclassical façade of Villa Olmo, skimming seaplane wakes and the terraces of Cernobbio before settling into the rhythm of the lake.
