The boat eases away from Como’s public pier, engine low, the lake answering with a cool, steady slap against the hull. Mountains press in from the north and a string of villas lean toward the water—stone facades, cypress groves, and the occasional glint of a terraced garden. In two hours you’ll slip past Daniel Libeskind’s Life Electric, skim by Villa Olmo, and cross to Comacina Island where a quick swim is possible on warm days.
