The most romantic lake in the world. From the legendary Villa d'Este and Mandarin Oriental to Riva yacht charters, Michelin-starred dining with lake views, and the enchanting villages of Bellagio and Varenna — experience the Italian Lakes with VIPMAKKI.
Lake Como is home to some of the world's most legendary hotels. Villa d'Este — a 16th-century palace turned hotel with floating pool — remains the gold standard. Mandarin Oriental, Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Il Sereno, and Villa Sola Cabiati offer unmatched elegance on the water's edge. VIPMAKKI secures the finest suites and VIP amenities at every palace hotel on the lake.
From the Michelin-starred Il Sereno al Lago and the legendary Veranda at Villa d'Este to the enchanting dining terraces of Grand Hotel Tremezzo with panoramic lake views. VIPMAKKI secures the most romantic tables on the lake — from cliffside gastronomic experiences to intimate candlelit dinners on private terraces.
There is no more elegant way to experience Lake Como than aboard a classic wooden Riva. Cruise past villas that have belonged to aristocrats for centuries — Villa Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, Villa Melzi — stopping at Bellagio for lunch and Varenna for an afternoon stroll. VIPMAKKI arranges Riva yacht charters with captain, champagne, and gourmet catering.
Milan Linate (LIN) is the closest private jet gateway — approximately 1 hour from Lake Como by chauffeured transfer. Milan Malpensa (MXP) serves larger jets. Lugano Airport (LUG) in Switzerland offers an alternative approach from the north. VIPMAKKI arranges private jet charters, helicopter transfers directly to your hotel's helipad, and luxury Maybach or Bentley airport transfers.
Lake Como is the most romantic wedding destination on earth. From private estates that hosted royalty and Hollywood legends to contemporary masterpieces with infinity pools cascading toward the water. VIPMAKKI curates Como's most exceptional villas — and orchestrates bespoke weddings, anniversaries, and celebrations with the lake as your backdrop.
Move through Lake Como with elegance. VIPMAKKI arranges chauffeured Maybach and Bentley transfers from Milan, private Riva water taxis to whisk you between Bellagio, Varenna, and your hotel, vintage Alfa Romeo tours through the winding lakeside roads, and helicopter transfers for panoramic arrivals over the Alps.
Lake Como is enchanting year-round. April to October is the prime season — the gardens are in full bloom, the Riva yachts are on the water, and the lakefront restaurants are at their best. June and September offer glorious weather with fewer crowds than peak summer. December brings magical Christmas markets in Como town and the surrounding villages.
