Special guided tour from Balbianello to Velarca

From April to October every day, except Monday and Wednesday, an exclusive tour awaits you on Lake Como with a guided tour and transfer from Villa del Balbianello (Tremezzina, CO) by motorboat to discover the historic houseboat La Velarca.

Open to the public for the first time, after several years of careful restoration, the houseboat La Velarca is an example of 1950s design. Built by the Norsa couple to host friends and intellectuals, it was conceived as a special residence and permanently anchored on the western shore of Lake Como.

The tour includes a guided tour for the entire itinerary lasting approximately 3 hours. Departure from Villa del Balbianello with a visit to the interiors and garden, transfer to La Velarca by motorboat, visit to the historic vessel, return to Villa del Balbianello by motorboat and end of the visit.

Reservation required with ticket purchase on www.ticket.fondoambiente.it
