Lake Como, a village by the water
Lake Como forms an upside-down Y at the foot of the Pre-Alps, 45 km north of Milan. On a Nice to Lake Como transfer, we take you right to the door of your hotel or villa.
Discover Como
A Y-shaped lake
Each branch has its own town: Como to the south-west, Lecco to the south-east, Colico to the north. At its deepest, the lake drops to 418 metres, a record for Italy. Bellagio sits on the point between the two southern branches. Above Como, a funicular opened in 1894 climbs to the village of Brunate, at 715 metres.
The villas
The lake's mild climate lets plants from warmer countries thrive. Wealthy Milanese families took advantage of it to build villas along the shores. In Tremezzo, Villa Carlotta is now a museum set in a botanical garden. In Cernobbio, Villa d'Este has been a luxury hotel since 1873.
Our chauffeur services on Lake Como
Getting here and away
Allow 4 h 35 min between Nice Airport and the lake. The Italian border comes just after Menton, so keep your passport or identity card close at hand. The fare, from €900, is given when you book. On the lake shore, we drop you outside the hotel or at the villa gates. The trip back from Como to Nice or Monaco works the same way.
A wedding on the lake
For a wedding on the lake shore, we bring your guests up from Nice, Cannes or Monaco. Families travel in a V-Class, with their wedding outfits laid flat in the back. After the party, we drive them back to the coast, that night or the next morning.
A day by the lake
Once there, the easiest way around is by boat. Public ferries link the villages on both shores all year round, from Como to Bellagio or Tremezzo. For a single day, our excursion service drops you off in the morning and collects you in the evening, at the same spot or elsewhere on the lake.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Lake Como?
The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €1,000 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €1,300 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €1,550 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€900 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.
How long does it take from Nice Airport to Lake Como?
About 4 h 35 min to reach Lake Como (372 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.
Do you also leave from Cannes, Monaco or Antibes for Lake Como?
Yes. We leave from anywhere on the French Riviera, at the address you give us: hotel, villa, station or port. The fare for your trip is shown before you book.
Can your private driver from Nice to Lake Como drop us in Bellagio?
Yes. We leave you at the address of your hotel or villa, on whichever shore you name.
Can you drive the guests of a wedding on Lake Como?
Yes. We collect them from their hotel on the Côte d'Azur, drop them at the ceremony, then bring them back after the party.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.
How do I pay?
Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.
What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?
A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
