(7 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Lake Como, Bellagio, Milan or Lugano, Portofino, Cinque Terre

This luxurious tour immerses travelers in the romance of Italy. Enjoy leisurely meals overlooking Lake Como, chauffeured tours through idyllic landscapes, and exceptional rooms at the best hotels in Lake Como and Portofino—two of Italy's premier leisure destinations.

Begin at beautiful Lake Como with a stay at the iconic Villa d’Este. Built in 1568 as a private residence, this neoclassical villa is one of Europe's most acclaimed luxury hotels. While there, enjoy a private boat excursion to Bellagio, one of Lake Como’s most picturesque towns, to explore the beautiful backstreets and exquisite gardens, or visit other historic estates and aristocratic villas around the lake. Also enjoy free time to take advantage of the hotel's extensive leisure facilities, including the resort's legendary pool that floats on the lake, beautiful grounds and gardens, and fine dining options. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange a memorable lunch on Isola Comacina, the only island in Lake Como, or a private excursion across the border into nearby Switzerland to spend time in charming Lugano or visit designer shopping outlets.

Next, you will be transferred to Portofino for a stay at Hotel Splendido, a glamorous retreat perched high above the village and its harbor. One day, enjoy a private excursion to the Cinque Terre—five tiny villages clinging to the rocky cliffs of the Mediterranean coast. Browse the villages and enjoy scenic walks along the sea through terraced vineyards and olive groves, citrus trees and Mediterranean scrub. Upon request, a private excursion to Genoa can be arranged. Another day is free for swimming, sailing, shopping, leisurely walks, and superb dining.
