Explore the lake by motorboat!

The territory, from the coastline ringed with magical towns and villages, to the mountains that stand out imposingly as imminent lookouts, offers a perspective – of views and passages – really enjoyable, in its fullness, only from the Lake.
Lake Como is the central point of observation of so much wonder that contains it.
To understand and admire the exceptional balance between morphology and colors, between natural and built secrets, it is necessary to be navigating on the Lake.
There are points that can be observed only from the lake and discovering them is an exciting experience and never the same, because the shapes, colors, natural lights, offer a horizon always different, as far as the eye can see, in every season.

Villa Como is our exclusive home for those who want the privacy of a quiet but modern place, equipped with home automation technology, and set on the first coastline of Lake Como.
From the terraces, the terraces and the windows the breathtaking view sweeps over the Lake without obstacles.

Villa Como, in Faggeto Lario, is the place of perfect balance between nature and comfort.
It offers all the quietness of its location, pied à l’eau, of an independent private habitat, away from the chaotic stretches of the coast, and in harmony with the comforts of modernity.
For those who want to move by lake, Villa Como has a private pier, where to dock, one of the motorboats rented from our luxury fleet, for the privilege of private cruises.
The villa has been chosen as a location for photographic sets, television, film and is the ideal home for a relaxing vacation, with family or with a group of friends.

Have we aroused your curiosity?
Discover our lake and admire Villa D’Este, Villa Erba, the gorge of Nesso, Colico and its small village, Dervio for windsurf lovers and the Church of Santa Maria del Tiglio in Gravedona, the protagonist of several film shoots.

The botanical garden of Villa Carlotta on Lake Como!

On the western shore of Lake Como at Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo, the period of the most beautiful flowering in Europe, which lasts only a few weeks a year, has arrived. The period residence, a botanical heritage with its striking rhododendrons and alzaleas rich in history and beauty, is visited every year by about 180 thousand visitors.

A historic residence of 1600 enriched by botanical architectures that date back to different eras and priceless masretpeaces, including the painting by Hayez, The Last Kiss of Romeo and Juliet and the sculpture Amour and Psyche by Canova, kept in Villa Carlotta. The Villa takes its name from Princess Carlotta who received it as a gift from her mother on her wedding day. A place where you can admire a unique botanical and cultural artistic heritage on Lake Como with breathtaking views.

Several botanical paths enchant the villa with 150 varieties of flowers originating in southern China, which in nature are found only in the Himalayan mountains, and alternate in the park giving rise to a striking spectacle. You can admire many species of plants and flowers: from camellias, azaleas to exotic plants, aromatic, which coexist in a harmonious way.

A perfect visit to spend a spring afternoon or a relaxing half day just an hour’s drive from Milan. Villa Carlotta can be visited all year round and our advice is to visit it in April and, for the hydrangea period, in August.

International Women’s Day: #BreakTheBias

BARNES Como is part of the movement #BreakTheBias 

In celebration of March 8, International Women’s Day, the agency joins a global campaign againist the bias on the workplace.

Regardless of gender, International Women’s Day is a time for all of us to reflect on and celebrate the steps made in empowering women globally. Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day.

Gender biases and stereotypes have been deeply embedded in our work norms, influencing the way we work – from our hiring processes to our environment, workplace, and daily interactions.

The herbs of AISM

AISM (Italian Multiple Sclerosis Association) has promoted an initiative in support of women affected by multiple sclerosis with a bag of herbs on the occasion of March 8. A selection of herbs including rosemary, thyme and mint, to bring everywhere the taste of solidarity and a concrete help to women. 

We have given 8 bags to our collaborators. A team composed mainly of women, to whom we wanted to make a gift in support of two important causes: fighting the gender gap in the workplace and supporting those who face multiple sclerosis every day in silence.

Join us to challenge prejudice and spark change. Let’s lend a hand, all together. Let’s build a future to people with research and rights.
