4 HOURS
A premium cruise to admire Villa del Balbianello from the water, sailing near Isola Comacina — with the option to disembark and visit the gardens and the villa (upon request).
Discover Villa del Balbianello from a truly unique perspective: the lake. Once converted from a monastery into an elegant summer residence in the late 18th century, the villa has inspired artists and writers for centuries — and more recently became a famous movie location (including Star Wars: Episode II and James Bond: Casino Royale).
During this 4-hour experience, you’ll enjoy a slower, more immersive route that lets you take in Balbianello’s iconic terraced gardens from the water and cruise in the same area where Isola Comacina sits nearby.
If you’d like to disembark to visit the gardens and join a guided tour of the villa, it’s possible—just let us know in advance so we can check available time slots. Please note: entrance tickets and tour fees are not included.
Rafilù can host up to 10 people. From the 5th passenger, a surcharge applies per extra person (the amount can vary by tour— it is around €20 —see the selected tour details).
