The boat slips away from Bellagio's quay and the lake stretches open like a road of glass, mountains pressing the horizon. In two hours a private powerboat threads between elegant villas and rocky coves, the captain adjusting speed to reveal a new angle—Villa Balbianello's terraces, the silver thread of Nesso's waterfall, and the discreet façade of Clooney's Villa glimpsed across the water.
