Miata Lake Como & Beyond

• Day 0: Welcome to Milan! Your journey begins in Milan, the capital of style. Upon arrival, a private transfer from the airport will bring you to our boutique hotel in the city center. In the late afternoon we gather for our Meet & Greet and a Welcome Dinner at a restaurant near the hotel.
• Day 1: After breakfast, we transfer to Spazio The Box in Origgio, our starting hub and vehicle handover location. Our journey begins through the rolling countryside of Tradate and Valcuvia before climbing the legendary Passo del Cuvignone, renowned for its sweeping curves and panoramic viewpoints over Lake Maggiore and the surrounding Alps. We descend toward Laveno-Mombello for lunch before following a scenic lakeside stretch along Lake Maggiore to Villa Borghi, where dinner and overnight await.
• Day 2: We depart Villa Borghi heading toward the eastern side of Lake Maggiore. Near Stresa we stop to admire the monumental Colossus of San Carlo Borromeo — the tallest statue in the world for nearly two centuries before the completion of the Statue of Liberty in New York. From here we ascend the panoramic road to Mottarone before descending toward the jewel-like village of Orta San Giulio on the shores of Lake Orta, where we pause for lunch overlooking the water. The afternoon continues around Lake Orta, blending engaging driving sections with peaceful lakeside scenery. We return to Villa Borghi for our second evening, with dinner at the hotel.
• Day 3: After breakfast we depart toward Lake Como via scenic pre-alpine roads through Rancio Valcuvia and Valganna, crossing toward the Italian–Swiss border region near Porlezza where we pause for lunch. We continue along the dramatic eastern branch of Lake Como, passing Valsolda, Argegno and Bellagio, before reaching the Promessi Sposi Hotel in Malgrate, directly across the water from the iconic town of Lecco.
• Day 4: Our final driving day is dedicated to Italy’s most celebrated lake. We depart from the hotel following the eastern shoreline as the road winds north toward Varenna with the deep blue waters of Lake Como never far from view. At Colico, where the lake opens into dramatic alpine scenery, we turn south to follow the elegant western shore. Further along we glide through the lakeside village of Laglio, home to George Clooney’s famous Villa Oleandra — feel free to give George a friendly wave as we pass. Continuing south toward Como, we eventually cross back toward Lecco, completing a full circle of Lake Como and closing the tour at the same hotel.
• Day 5: After breakfast we follow the southern branch of Lake Como toward the historic city of Como, enjoying one final lakeside drive as the mountains gradually give way to the Lombardy plains. From here we continue back to Spazio The Box in Origgio, where our journey comes full circle. Our tour concludes with a farewell lunch at Olio, the Michelin-starred restaurant located within this unique automotive destination. Surrounded by an extraordinary private collection of classic and historic cars, the setting provides a fitting finale — celebrating five unforgettable days across Northern Italy’s most iconic roads.
