Meet in Santa Margherita Ligure in the lobby of Hotel Jolanda at 2:00 pm. Nozarego to Portofino; 2 miles, easy to moderate, elevation gain of 385 ft and loss of 885 ft

After meeting at your charming in-town hotel, a brief public bus ride takes you to the village of Nozarego, the starting point for an approximate two-hour afternoon walk to the seaside resort of Portofino. From the charming sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve (situated at 500 feet above sea level), a 10-minute ascent over the luxuriant green hillside, followed by a short level stretch, brings you to the hamlet of Gave and its restored chapel, the Oratorio di San Gerolamo. From here you enjoy a wonderful view over the Abbey of Cervara, a national monument of Italy dating to the 14th century, before continuing on to Portofino in one of two directions—the route decided upon by your guide(s).

The first option rewards you with a less challenging walk along a shaded, cobbled path past farmhouses, through terraced olive groves, down to Paraggi, a tiny coastal town bordered by a beautiful sandy beach. An easy paved promenade, shaded beneath the canopy of a Holm oak forest, winds along the sea delivering you to the cobblestone streets of Portofino.

The alternative option departs the hamlet of Gave along an undulating path before reaching Acqua Morta and Acqua Viva, two small streams, the second so-called because it gave life to a series of 35 olive, chestnut, and wheat mills (one of which is now a visitor’s center), while the former did not have any mills along its course. Reaching Olmi, the highest point of today’s walk at 885 feet, you begin the long descent down a paved path into Portofino, passing by the chapel of San Sebastiano and enjoying splendid views along the way.

The picturesque village of Portofino, nestled into a cove between hills, was rediscovered by the jet set shortly after World War II and is considered to be among the most beautiful Mediterranean ports. Where once only fishing boats docked in the emerald-green inlet, now yachts arrive from around the world. You may choose to relax at an open-air café in the main piazza overlooking the colorful boats bobbing in the harbor, while indulging in a paciugo—a heavenly cup of strawberry and vanilla gelato (Italian ice cream) topped with fresh berries and cream. There is time to independently explore the small streets and browse the town’s boutiques and shops. For stunning views of the entire bay and the Tigullian gulf, you can walk from the famous village square, simply called La Piazzetta, up to the Church of San Giorgio. Perched high above the town, this church contains relics of St. George, Portofino’s patron saint. From here continue to another lookout point at the Castello Brown, a castle dating to the 16th century, before moving on to the very tip of the promontory and the Punto del Capo (Portofino lighthouse).

You return to Santa Margherita via a 20-minute ferry (time-and-weather-dependent) or bus ride before gathering for a welcome aperitivo and orientation meeting at your hotel. Dinner tonight is a welcome feast at an inviting family-run restaurant in town. Bountiful seafood antipasti may be followed by the classical Ligurian primo, pansoti con salsa di noci (cheese-filled pasta topped with walnut sauce).

Ruta to San Fruttuoso; 3.5 miles, moderate to challenging, elevation gain of 750 ft and loss of 1,500 ft. Additional option of San Fruttuoso to Portofino; 3 miles, moderate to challenging

After a satisfying breakfast of coffee, bread, cheese, yogurt, and fruit, you transfer by public bus to the tiny and picturesque village of Ruta, at which point you enter the Regional Park of Portofino for an approximate four-hour morning walk. An initial 45-minute, 500-foot undulating yet steady ascent along a shady trail punctuated with a series of rough steps brings you to a spectacular ridgeline trail commanding an enchanting view of the Bay of Tigullio to the east and the Bay of Paradise and city of Genova to the west. Continuing beneath a canopy of chestnut, pine, and oak trees, you traverse the Portofino promontory—ascending 160 feet over a 40-minute period—and arrive at Semaforo Nuovo (“New Signal Station”). At 1,300 feet, you are rewarded with radiant coastal views.

Refueled with a snack and water break, you set off on a beautiful cliffside path overlooking the Cala dell’Oro Bay and the Bay of Fruttuoso. The dirt trail—bordered by fragrant Mediterranean macchia, myrtle, and berries—gently climbs and descends for just over an hour at which point you reach Pietre Strette (“Narrow Stones”), an area of narrow canyons surrounding the 1,500-foot summit of the forested ridge. Over the next hour you descend several stony switchbacks and old mule paths (elevation loss of 1,500 feet) to sea level and the hamlet of San Fruttuoso. This secluded haven, which can only be reached on foot or by boat, is picturesquely situated in a small, rocky cove. Under ownership and protection of the National Trust of Italy, procedures have recently been taken to recognize this hamlet as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Following an optional swim in the inviting clear blue waters of the San Fruttuoso Bay, you sit down to a much-anticipated lunch—perhaps a fresh green salad along with the region’s signature dish, homemade pasta with pesto. Following lunch, you may accompany your guide(s) on a fascinating visit to the Abbazia di San Fruttuoso, a 10th-century medieval abbey.

This afternoon, you may choose to continue on a scenic two-hour walk to Portofino; otherwise opt to indulge in a bit of la dolce vita by taking a boat back to Santa Margherita (with a possible stop in Portofino). This evening you reunite at a fine seaside restaurant for a delectable dinner of typical Ligurian specialties, complemented by the region’s crisp white wine.

Levanto to Monterosso al Mare; 3.5 miles, moderate to challenging, elevation gain and loss of 1,300 ft

This morning a one-hour train ride brings you to the splendid seaside resort of Levanto, with breathtaking sea views along the way. Upon arrival at this ancient town, known as the “Gateway to the Cinque Terre,” you set off along its curved and colorful main street to visit its medieval frescoed loggia and Chiesa di Sant’Andrea (Church of Saint Andrew), exemplary of 13th-century Ligurian Gothic style with its façade decorated in black-and-white bands, and a magnificent rose window crowning the main door.

You may opt out of the day’s scheduled walk and enjoy an independent afternoon by taking a train directly to Monterosso al Mare, the first of the Cinque Terre villages and the day’s final destination. Alternatively, depart on the afternoon walk from Levanto’s medieval walls on a long, gradual climb along an ancient trade route passing through olive groves and terraced vineyards. The trail eventually levels off for an easy stretch with spectacular views before beginning another rigorous ascent over rough steps through oak woods. A much easier stretch of trail ensues through a pine forest culminating at the promontory of Punta Mesco. At 1,000 feet, your hard work is rewarded with an amazing bird’s-eye view of all five villages of the Cinque Terre. A final steep 45-minute descent down large stone steps delivers you to Monterosso al Mare and your family-run hotel set amidst a garden of towering palm trees, just around the corner from Fegina Bay and the best beach in the Cinque Terre.

After settling in to your new home for two nights, you stroll to dinner at Ristorante La Lampara, a lively, local restaurant where you are welcomed by the legendary and charismatic chef-owner Luigi Corciulo (“Ciak”) with a dazzling array of seafood antipasti—freshly-caught prawns, squid, sea snails, steamed mussels, and the highly-prized anchovies from Monterosso served fried, stuffed, marinated, or salted!

Cinque Terre: Monterosso to Vernazza; 2.5 miles, moderate with challenging sections, elevation gain and loss of approximately 700 ft

“The Five Lands” of the Cinque Terre are Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore: five small, remote villages strung along the coast northwest of La Spezia. They are linked by boat, rail, and footpath, allowing you to customize your walking experience over the next two days. Today’s scheduled walk, and arguably the most spectacular, begins in Monterosso, and continues for approximately two hours along a well-established footpath while offering views of the Ligurian Sea. After an initial lengthy climb up a steep cliffside stairway of several hundred steps, the trail winds up and down through groves of lemon, orange, and olive trees and beautifully terraced vineyards supported by hundreds of miles of hand-built dry stone walling. Known as mura a secco, these walls are a testament to the centuries of labor involved in shaping this fascinating landscape. Traversing extremely narrow trails—perched on terraces with a wall on one side and a drop of 10 to 15 feet on the other—you pass farmers at work using monorail systems to transport grapes and supplies up and down the steep hillsides. You reach Vernazza in time for lunch—likely a simple, authentic pizza or plate of homemade pasta—in the town’s colorful waterfront piazza.

This afternoon you are free to explore Vernazza or additional Cinque Terre villages by train, boat, or on foot. Dinner this evening is at your leisure; your guide(s) will provide suggestions from among the many dining experiences available in Monterosso al Mare.

Vernazza to Corniglia; 2.5 miles, moderate with challenging sections, elevation gain and loss of 700 ft. Corniglia to Manarola to Riomaggiore; 3.5 miles, easy to moderate. Transfer to Portovenere

Today’s exploration includes more of the picturesque “Five Lands” and culminates in the charming medieval town of Portovenere, situated at the mouth of the spectacular Golfo dei Poeti (Gulf of Poets). The gulf is so named because many poets, including Dante, Petrarch, Byron, and Shelley, have sung its praises—even the boats in the harbor sport romantic names inspired by these poets.

Similar to yesterday’s walk from Monterosso to Vernazza (but with fewer steps!), the trail from Vernazza to Corniglia begins with a steep ascent up a set of stone steps before leveling off through terraced vineyards clinging to seaside cliffs. The narrow trail continues for approximately two hours before reaching Corniglia, the most untouched of the Cinque Terre villages. Unlike the other villages of the Cinque Terre, Corniglia is not directly adjacent to the sea. Instead, it is on the top of a promontory more than 300 feet above the sea, surrounded on three sides by vineyards and terraces, while the fourth side descends steeply into the sea. From Corniglia, you set off on your next leg: a 45-minute walk to the cozy, classic seaside town of Manarola and the center of Cinque Terre’s wine production. Comparatively easy, the route winds down a lovely little road through vegetable gardens and terraced vineyards. After a slight ascent, you are rewarded with a final cliffside stretch rich in panoramic views. Leaving the pink-colored houses of Manarola behind, your exploration of the Cinque Terre concludes with a 20-minute stroll along the Via dell’Amore (Road of Love), a scenic paved waterfront promenade leading to Riomaggiore, the southernmost of the five villages known for its historic character and colorful tower houses.

A ferry ride (weather dependent) brings you to your final destination: the Roman-Byzantine town of Portovenere, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you view both the sea and the nearby Apuan Mountains. The captivating town paints a colorful canvas against the azure sea with its tall and narrow pastel-colored houses lining the waterfront promenade. Perched high on a rocky cape overlooking the sea is San Pietro, a 13th-century Gothic church. Its black-andwhite- striped exterior has made it a landmark recognizable from far out at sea. After settling in to your seaside hotel, you embark on a short boat ride to the island of Palmaria—just off the coast of Portovenere—for a magical al fresco dinner, overlooking the waters below.

Isola Palmaria; 2.5 miles, easy to moderate, elevation gain and loss of 1,200 ft

Following breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea, you begin the day’s adventure with a return boat trip across the bay to Palmaria. This beautiful island, declared a Natural Regional Park, boasts a network of walking paths with stunning viewpoints of its dramatic cliffs and nearby Tino Island. Disembarking in the small harbor of Terrizzo, home to the island’s few homes and a restaurant, an easy 20-minute walk leads you to the meticulously restored 19th-century fortress of Umberto I, which now houses a museum dedicated to the oceanography and undersea archeology of the Mediterranean. From this spectacular viewpoint, the trail gently ascends into a sea of terraced olive groves before leveling off through a forest of Holm oak and pinewood. The air is perfumed by sage, broom, and myrtle underfoot as you approach the southern tip of the island. Here lush Mediterranean vegetation is replaced by steep rocky cliffs, deep ravines, and abandoned quarries of the black and golden-veined Portoro marble—now home to wild goats and an extensive colony of Herring Gulls. A challenging, yet short (20-minute) climb leads to the summit where you are rewarded with unsurpassed 360-degree views.

After a snack and water break, a 45-minute descent by way of an asphalt road or more challenging dirt trail returns you to the hamlet of Terrizzo, where your boat is waiting. Time and weather permitting, you boat around the island to explore several wonderful grottoes—the famous Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto), the Grotta Vulcanica, a volcanic grotto housing an ancient freshwater spring, and the Grotta dei Colombi, where Paleolithic evidence was discovered in the 19th century—before returning to Portovenere for lunch at a seaside trattoria.

Following lunch you may accompany your guide(s) on an optional walking tour of Portovenere, whose highlights include the churches of San Pietro and San Lorenzo and the Genovese Doria Castle. This evening a stroll along the waterfront leads to an elegant restaurant for a sumptuous farewell feast of seafood from surrounding waters—sea bass grilled to perfection or tuna in a fresh anchovy and caper sauce. Ideally positioned at the mouth of the harbor, you are afforded breathtaking views of the gulf and fishing boats returning home from sea—a perfect venue for toasting your Ligurian adventure and new friends.

Arrivederci Cinque Terre! Transition to Milan and the Italian Lakes region

After a bountiful breakfast, you are driven from your hotel in Portovenere to the La Spezia train station, where you board a train for the three-hour trip to Milan. From Milan’s Central Station, a short taxi ride takes you to the meeting and start point for the Lakes portion of the itinerary. Your centrally located 4-star hotel is convenient to Milan’s historic sites, shopping, and dining, a perfect urban pause. The hotel’s helpful staff can provide assistance and nearby dining recommendations.

Meet in Milan in the lobby of Hotel Sanpi Milano at 1:00 pm. Lake Orta; 2 miles, easy, with an elevation gain of 300 ft

This morning you may continue to explore Milan or relax at your hotel before meeting your new group and guide(s) at your hotel in the early afternoon, just after lunch. You immediately transfer by private coach to the idyllic medieval village of Orta San Giulio, nestled on the eastern shore of Lake Orta. At only eight miles long and two miles wide, Lake Orta—known for its serenity, simplicity, and religious devotion—is one of the smallest of Italian Lakes. You set off directly on foot following the lakeside promenade to explore the charming village and its rich architecture. From the town’s waterfront, Piazza Motta, you gently ascend the pilgrim’s way, a cobbled path that rises under the shade of pine, beech, and ash trees to the plateau of the Sacro Monte monastic complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site erected primarily in the 17th century. This unique site holds 20 Baroque chapels filled with life-sized terracotta statues and frescoes depicting the life of St. Francis of Assisi. From this tranquil vantage point, you survey the jewel-like lake and the islet of San Giulio, set against the striking backdrop of forests and granite outcroppings. Meandering back towards the village, the cobblestone paths lead to the lakeshore with its colorful fishing boats and narrow streets.

You arrive on foot at your delightful four-star lakeside hotel, set within the ancient walls of a 17th-century stone-cloistered convent. There is time to settle into your comfortable lakeview room before gathering in town at a cozy 16th-century wine bar for a welcome aperitivo—rich mountain cheeses, cured meats, and a sampling of several renowned wines from the neighboring Piedmont region will likely be offered. Dinner, perhaps beef carpaccio or smoked salmon, followed by a delicious lake fish or fillet of veal in white truffle sauce, is at your hotel’s restaurant—an enchanting setting with views of the dramatic medieval basilica of the Isola San Giulio illuminated against the night sky.

Orta to Pella to Isola San Giulio; 5 miles, moderate, with an elevation gain of 800 ft, and an initial 25-minute steep ascent

The day begins with a boat ride to the picturesque town of Pella, situated directly across the lake on the western shore of Lake Orta. From here, you wind up centuries-old stone pathways under a canopy of chestnut, oak, and large beech trees to a small collection of secluded villages and hamlets. In this mystical setting, you feel as though you have stepped back in time, when these pathways were main thoroughfares. Looping back down a cobblestone path through apple, pear, and persimmon trees, you arrive at the lakeside where a boat is waiting to return you to Orta San Giulio in time for an independent lunch in the town’s picturesque central square or along one of the many inviting alleyways—choices range from a lively, local trattoria to a simple pizzeria. Following lunch, there is time to explore the many delights of Orta San Giulio at your own pace.

In the late afternoon, a short boat crossing brings you to Isola San Giulio, named for the 4th-century Saint Julius who brought Christianity to the region after eradicating the island of a variety of snakes and monsters. Here on this tiny island, known as the “Island of Silence,” you visit the renowned and beautifully frescoed Basilica di San Giulio, originally founded by Saint Julius in 390 AD. From here you meander down a single footpath which encircles the island—La Via del Silenzio (The Way of Silence)—though if you follow it in the other direction it curiously becomes “The Way of Meditation.” As you walk past old greystone buildings clustered around the basilica and elegant villas framing the shoreline, you come across small plaques in several languages that remind you that you are in a place of reflection: “If you can be yourself, you are everything,” advises one. Dinner this evening is at a cozy trattoria, where you sample more regional specialties such as champagne risotto followed by a tender fillet of Fassone, Piedmont’s prized beef.

Orta to Armeno to Coiromonte to Gignese; 5.5 mile or 10 mile options, moderate to challenging, elevation gains range from 1000-2000 ft

Departing from Orta San Giulio by bus, your guide/s may choose one of two walk options, depending upon recent weather conditions. If conditions are dry, the first option begins at the village of Armeno, from where you begin a steady ascent alongside the Ondella River through beech and chestnut forest and across several small streams to the mountain village of Coiromonte. Alternatively, a short bus ride delivers you to the lakeside village of Pettenasco. Ascending through forests and tiered hillside pastures, the trail arrives in the village of Armeno in time for a late-morning coffee. From here you may opt to be driven to lunch or to continue on foot through this pastoral landscape, climbing up to Coiromonte. Here, you break for a lunch of local cheese and prosciutto crudo, caprese salad, and pizza.

Following lunch, a beautiful trail through pine and birch forests leads to the open meadows of the Tre Montagnette, which marks the highest point of the day’s walk (45-minute/1,000-foot ascent). The view is superb from this point at 3,600 feet, with Lakes Orta and Maggiore framed below by soaring mountain chains—the most remarkable being the distant snow-covered peak of Monte Rosa. With a summit just over the border in Switzerland of 15,203 feet, it is the second highest in the Alps and Western Europe. Following a descent in the direction of the town of Gignese on the watershed separating Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta, a short coach transfer then brings you to the resort town of Stresa on the shores of Lake Maggiore. The setting of Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms,” Lake Maggiore is a captivating 40-mile-long lake whose western shore is in Piedmont, eastern shore in Lombardy, and whose northern shoreline borders the Swiss canton of Ticino.

From Stresa you board a boat to Isola dei Pescatori (Fishermen’s Island), where you receive a warm welcome at your charming hotel, spectacularly situated in the middle of the lake. Each of the 12 rooms of this historic, green-shuttered hotel is named after a local flower and features views of the Borromean Gulf and flower-filled balconies. Inhabited since the 16th century, this tiny island still retains its original fishing village atmosphere. There is time to relax, have a swim in the lake, or to explore the quiet alleyways of this romantic isle. Weather permitting, a dinner featuring fresh lake fish, perhaps delicately flavored perch, the symbol of Lake Maggiore, is served al fresco on the hotel’s terrace overlooking the sparkling lights of nearby islands and passing ferry boats.

Lake Maggiore and Isola Bella exploration; 1 mile, easy. Transfer to Bellagio. Villa Melzi; 1 mile or 2.5 mile options, easy

After breakfast the morning is spent exploring the Borromean Isles—specifically the tiny Isola Bella, which is entirely occupied by the Palazzo Borromeo and its Italian garden. Built in the 17th century for the Borromeo family, this splendid summer palace features a wealth of paintings by Lombard artists, sculptures by Canova, and Flemish tapestries. Mussolini attempted to ward off WWII here at the Conference of Stresa in April of 1935. Following a guided tour of the palace, wander the opulently sculpted gardens rising from the water’s edge—a pyramidal succession of ten terraces culminating in a square. Gravel walkways, shaded by orange and lemon trees, meander past 17th-century statues, pebble-studded grottoes, and luxuriant vegetation—laurels, cedars, magnolias, cork oaks, sago palms, heliotrope, camellias, and oleanders.

Nearing lunchtime, you boat back to the mainland and the lakeshore town of Stresa. Following time for an independent lunch and exploration, you are picked up by a private boat to cross the lake to the town of Laveno, from where you embark on an approximate two-hour coach transfer to the tiny town of Cadenabbia, situated on the western shore of Lake Como. From here you board a ferry to the picturesque town of Bellagio, “the pearl of Lake Como,” and your home for the next three nights. Set magnificently on the promontory where Lake Como and Lake Lecco meet, you are positioned to experience the best these elegant lakes have to offer. Setting off directly from the ferry dock, a short stroll down a scenic waterfront path brings you to the magnificent Villa Melzi, built in 1808 for the Duke Francesco Melzi d’Eril, assistant to Napoleon, and now home to a distinguished Lombardian family. Following a visit to the manicured lawns and luxuriant gardens of this heavenly white villa, you make your way to your hotel via a shorter 20-minute walk, or a longer 2½-mile option, exploring some of Bellagio’s hamlets.

The elegant Hotel Belvedere, owned and run by five generations of women from the same family since 1880, is tranquilly located a few minutes' walk above the shops, restaurants, and traffic-free waterfront of Bellagio, and overlooks the crystal blue waters of Lake Como and surrounding mountains. The hotel’s private gardens, with a heated outdoor swimming pool, large panoramic Jacuzzi and spa, are yours to enjoy over the next few days. Dinner, at your resort hotel, rounds off an inspiring day.

Villa Carlotta and Villa del Balbianello; 4.5 miles, moderate with a 30-minute ascent. Additional option: Madonna del Soccorso; 2 miles, moderate with a 25-minute steep ascent, elevation gains range from 300-800 ft

The day begins with a ferry ride to the resort town of Tremezzo, situated on the stunning western side of Lake Como. Here you tour the 17th-century Villa Carlotta, whose famous works of art and terraced gardens of rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias have inspired poets and travelers for centuries. Ascending the gentle hills above the lake, you walk through ancient villages and along terraced footpaths that seem a world away from the elegant lifestyle of the lakeside resort towns. Following a short break, you have the option to descend to the quaint fishing village of Lenno where, after some time to explore the town’s narrow, cobblestone streets, you enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the many fine restaurants or cafés gracing the waterfront promenade. Alternatively, those inspired to walk a little farther, by way of a cobblestone pilgrimage pathway marked with chapels symbolizing the Mysteries of the Rosary, will be graced with a magnificent view of the lake from the vantage point of the Madonna del Soccorso sanctuary. If choosing the latter option, a light lunch, perhaps a tasty panino, is served at the sanctuary before you descend to Lenno, where you reunite as a group.

This afternoon, you embark on a private boat ride to the striking Villa del Balbianello, situated at the tip of a small wooded peninsula overlooking Lake Como, almost opposite Bellagio. Built for Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini in 1787, the villa now belongs to the National Trust of Italy. It was here that one of the recent “Star Wars” films was shot, as well as a number of other feature films including “A Month by the Lake” and “Casino Royale.” Following a guided visit to the villa’s elegant gardens and interior, you return to Bellagio with time to enjoy your hotel’s amenities and appreciate the late afternoon sun as it casts shadows on the hills over the lake. This evening, your guides provide ideas for dinner on your own in town; the restaurant or trattoria menu may offer traditional polenta or pasta with porcini mushrooms and the fresh catch of the day—likely the local lake fish, lavarello or missoltin.

Varenna to Vezio; 5 miles, moderate with a 30-minute steep ascent

Following an enticing breakfast of homemade baked goods and preserves, eggs, cured meats and cheeses, you board a local ferry to Varenna, an attractive village on a small promontory. Considered by many to be the most picturesque town on Lake Como, Varenna boasts charming rustic houses, flower-filled balconies, winding alleyways, and a lovely lakeside promenade. The Sentiero del Viandante (Wayfarer trail) takes you through the rugged hills above Lake Lecco, passing the Fiumelatte, a unique stream that (seasonally) is “the color of milk” as it froths over rocks and descends to the lake. Ascending through the forest, the trail traverses northward and enters the hamlet of Vezio, whose collection of ancient stone homes is inhabited by just twenty families. Cobblestone pathways lead to the ruins of the Castle of Vezio, perched high above the lake in a strategic position, providing views of the lake and the distant Alpine ranges, “one last time.” Descending the steep, cobblestone pathway to Varenna, you arrive at a charming lakeside restaurant in time for a lunch of local delights.

Following a mid-afternoon ferry ride back to Bellagio, there is time for some last-minute shopping, exploration, or relaxing poolside before gathering again for an aperitivo on the panoramic terrace of your hotel; peanuts, olives, caper fruit, and savory puff pastries are accompanied by a selection of sparkling, white, and red regional wines. This evening’s farewell feast is on the cozy outdoor terrace of an award-winning restaurant tucked away up one of Bellagio’s many steeply stepped cobblestone lanes; the menu, based on innovative variations of traditional specialties, features delicious homemade pasta and lake delicacies finished off with creatively presented sumptuous desserts.

Arrivederci!

After enjoying a final group breakfast, a private coach brings you to the train station in Milan for connections to your next destination.
