Milan. Lake Como, Maggiore, Garda. Ferrari. And you.

Day 1 — Milan, the Italian capital of fashion and shopping

Welcome to Milan!

You will be met at the International Airport and transferred by Mercedes E-Class to your hotel.

Sightseeing, shopping … and an opera?

Enjoy the afternoon and evening on your own in the city. Go for shopping at the Galleria, see the Duomo and attend an opera in the most illustrious Opera House, La Scala. For dinner we recommend Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia (2 Michelin stars) or Sadler restaurant.

Day 2 — Discovering Lake Maggiore

Meet your Ferrari

Your private Tour Director will introduce you to the world of Ferrari; clarify the finer details of the controls, explain the differences between the various models (488 Spider, 488 Pista, Portofino) and the engines and most importantly, give guidance on how to handle the F1 paddle-gear shifting behind the steering wheel.

Start the driving experience

Afterwards departure towards Lake Maggiore. All luggage will be transported separately. Drive your Ferrari to Stresa, which has been a popular retreat for Europe’s aristocrats. Arrive and check in at Villa Aminta. Stresa has also an outstanding botanic garden, which is worth visiting.

Borromean Islands

Transfer by private boat to the Borromean Islands and have lunch at Casabella. It is a cosy restaurant offering local cuisine. After lunch transfer by private boat to Stresa and depart for a scenic tour of Maggiore Lake.

Sancarlone

Arrive at Arona, on the Piedmont side of the lake, for a short walk in the famous location of the “Sancarlone”, a giant statue of Saint Charles Borromeo. Later this afternoon, drive your Ferrari to Villa Aminta and spend the rest of the evening at leisure.
