The Ape Calessino is Italy's most beloved little vehicle. Ride one along Lake Como at sunset, and watch the shoreline turn cinematic. Your local driver winds past the lakeside War Memorial, the world's oldest seaplane club, and the willow-shaded gardens of Villa Olmo. Sip Italian Prosecco as the Alps begin to glow over Cernobbio village and Villa d'Este. Few hours in Italy fold this much beauty into one scenic ride.

Itinerary

Your tour begins in central Como

Meet your driver at the meeting point in central Como, just steps from the lakefront. Settle into your vintage Ape Calessino, pop the Prosecco, and prepare for a slow ride through golden-hour streets.

Pause at Como's lakeside War Memorial

Roll up to the towering War Memorial, a striking monument from the 1930s that honors Como's fallen soldiers. Step out for a quick photo as the lake's evening light glows behind the stone tower.

Spot vintage seaplanes at the Aero Club

Next, glide toward the Aero Club di Como, one of the world's oldest seaplane bases, founded in 1930. Watch sleek hydroplanes skim the water as your driver shares the story of this lakeside aviation icon.

Admire the grand Villa Olmo

Cruise along the shore to Villa Olmo, an 18th-century neoclassical mansion that once hosted Napoleon and European royalty. Take in its honey-colored façade and the manicured Italian gardens fronting Lake Como.

Wander the elegant village of Cernobbio

Then continue north along the lakeshore to Cernobbio, one of Como's most refined villages and home to historic Villa d'Este. Step out for photos along the harbor as the sun slips behind the mountains.

Your tour ends in central Como

After Cernobbio, the Ape Calessino rolls back along the lake to your starting point in central Como. You'll arrive with golden-hour photos, a glass of Prosecco in hand, and Italian dinner plans to make for tonight.
