## From Lake Como to the Italian Riviera — One Seamless Private Transfer

Few journeys in Northern Italy combine two such celebrated landscapes in a single day. Lake Como — with its Villa d'Este, Grand Hotel Tremezzo, and the lakefront villages of Bellagio and Varenna — and Portofino, the most photographed harbour on the Mediterranean, are separated by approximately 210 km of motorway. The drive, handled in a private Mercedes with a fixed all-inclusive price, takes approximately 2 hours 45 minutes.

The route from Lake Como to Portofino follows the **A9 motorway southward from Como to Milan**, then the A7 south-west to Genoa, then the **A12 Autostrada dei Fiori east along the Ligurian coast** to the Rapallo exit, and a final 15-minute drive into Portofino village. All motorway tolls on all three sections are included in the fixed price — nothing changes on arrival.

MilanobyCar collects guests directly from any hotel or villa on **Lake Como**, including the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio, Hotel Royal Victoria in Varenna, Grand Hotel Tremezzo, and Villa d'Este in Cernobbio. The price is confirmed in writing before any payment.

For guests who wish to **combine both legs of a holiday** — arriving at Malpensa, spending three nights on Lake Como, then continuing to Portofino — each leg can be booked separately or as part of a combined itinerary at a fixed price for each segment.

"Adrian took our family up to Lake Como from Milan for a full day trip. He was warm, welcoming, and always on time. He knew every area, stopped at the best viewpoints, and suggested the whole itinerary. We also used MilanobyCar for our Malpensa transfers. Impeccable both times."

### Connecting Two of Italy's Most Celebrated Destinations

The combination of a Lake Como stay with a Portofino stay is one of the classic Northern Italy luxury itineraries. Both destinations appear in the same travel publications, attract a similar international clientele, and are within three hours of each other by private car. Yet the logistics of moving between them via public transport — buses, trains, and multiple ferry connections — are genuinely complicated. A private car service from Lake Como to Portofino converts this into a single direct transfer, door to door, with no changes.

### Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, Bellagio — Door-to-Door Service

The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is one of the iconic properties of Lake Como, with its lakefront position and gardens directly above Bellagio village. MilanobyCar provides door-to-door transfers from the hotel entrance to any Portofino address. The concierge team at Villa Serbelloni is familiar with the service. For guests arriving by ferry, the driver meets you at the Bellagio ferry terminal and assists with luggage. The same service applies to Villa d'Este in Cernobbio, Grand Hotel Tremezzo, and Hotel Royal Victoria in Varenna.

### The Route via Genoa — A Landscape Worth the Drive

The A7 motorway from Milan to Genoa offers progressively more dramatic scenery as it climbs the Apennine foothills south of Milan and descends into Liguria above Genoa. The descent into the city, with the port visible below, is one of the more memorable motorway approaches in Italy. The A12 coastal section from Genoa to Rapallo passes through a series of tunnels that punctuate views of the Ligurian coast. The final stretch to Portofino — a narrow road through pine and cypress above the village — gives the first views of the bay.
