Lake Como is where Italian elegance meets extraordinary natural beauty. Framed by mountains, elegant gardens and historic villas, the lake has long attracted royalty, artists and travellers seeking privacy and exceptional surroundings. The Grace is a private lifestyle management and luxury concierge on Lake Como, giving a small circle of clients a single trusted contact for the whole lake — best experienced on the water, arriving by private boat, discovering hidden gardens and entering historic villas.
The icons of Lake Como
Villa Balbianello
One of the most recognisable villas on Lake Como, Villa del Balbianello is celebrated for its spectacular gardens, cinematic setting and elegant architecture. A private visit can be combined with a boat arrival and a bespoke experience designed around the occasion.
Villa Balbiano
Known for its magnificent interiors, gardens and exceptional lakeside setting, Villa Balbiano offers one of the most extraordinary private environments on Lake Como — particularly suited to milestone celebrations, intimate events and private gatherings.
Villa Cipressi
With its historic architecture, terraced gardens and panoramic views across the lake, Villa Cipressi offers a more intimate expression of Lake Como’s timeless beauty — an elegant setting for a private visit, celebration or bespoke dining experience.
Celebrate your milestone on Lake Como
Some occasions deserve a setting that feels completely unforgettable. Grace Concierge can arrange bespoke celebrations at exceptional Lake Como villas, including:
- Weddings, elopements and proposals
- Anniversaries, birthdays and engagements

From selecting the perfect villa to arranging flowers, entertainment, private chefs, photography, transfers and every detail in between, we create the experience around the occasion — see our events and celebrations service.
Private villas & exclusive access
Lake Como is home to some of Italy’s most remarkable private residences and historic estates. Grace Concierge can arrange private villa access and bespoke experiences, allowing guests to discover the lake beyond the traditional visitor itinerary — private dining, garden visits, aperitivo, photography, cultural experiences and intimate celebrations.
Experience Lake Como by boat
The lake is best understood from the water. A private boat tour allows you to travel between the villages and villas at your own pace, stopping for lunch, swimming, photographs or a sunset aperitivo. Private boats can be arranged for:
- Villa visits and full-day lake explorations
- Sunset cruises and private lunches
- Swimming excursions, proposals and celebrations
For many guests, the journey itself becomes one of the highlights of the stay.

Part of a wider Italian journey
Lake Como pairs beautifully with the fashion and design of Milan, a short drive away, and with the private summers of Forte dei Marmi, the eternal beauty of Rome and the Amalfi Coast. For the journeys between them, our private travel service arranges every transfer.
The Grace Concierge way
Lake Como does not need to be rushed. A private boat, an exceptional villa, a long lunch overlooking the water and an evening created entirely around you are often what make the destination unforgettable. Grace Concierge provides 24/7 coordination, arranging luxury hotels, private villas, boats, dining, milestone celebrations, private experiences and every surrounding detail — from a proposal on the lake to an extraordinary family celebration.
