2-hour private tour by wooden speedboat on Lake Como
Sail on Lake Como aboard the famous MAS 28 – A unique historic speedboat
Live an exclusive experience sailing on Lake Como aboard the famous MAS 28, one of the most famous armed torpedo boats in Italian history.
In the years before the Great War, the Italian Royal Navy formed a special corps equipped with torpedo boats called MAS (Motoscafo Armato Torpedo). These small speedboats, less than 10 meters long, were equipped with two torpedoes for quick and stealthy attacks against large enemy ships, taking advantage of speeds up to 40 knots and night surprise.
The MAS 28 traces the historical exploits of these elite craft, linked to famous episodes such as the Bakar Mockery, with illustrious figures including the poet and aviator Gabriele D’Annunzio, a member of the crew.
Book your historic speedboat tour of Lake Como now and immerse yourself in the history and beauty of the lake with an expert guide.

Villa Troubetzkoy
built in the mid-nineteenth century, it owes its name to the Russian prince Alexander Troubetzkoy The prince demolished an extensive cliff with dynamite and for this reason he was called the "turbascogli" by the Blevians. The villa has very sloping pitches with characteristic dormer windows and a bold lift, which goes down to the lake from the Larian road.
Villa Cademartori
It is a three-storey building with a turret on the right; the main floor is marked by a series of gabled windows and is underlined by a terrace with statues supported by a trabeated Doric portico which constitutes a sort of pronaos for the main entrance. The park surrounding the residence is particularly noteworthy for the presence of centuries-old trees including an enormous plane tree and a precious cedar of Lebanon.
Laglio
we will pass through Laglio and Clooney's famous Villa. At the time, the ownership of Villa Oleandra was in the hands of the family of John Heinz, the founder of the sauce brand of the same name, known throughout the world. It was his heirs who handed over the estate to Clooney, who wrote a check for 10 million dollars. The actor made a great deal: the property is now valued at around 10 times as much.
