The hotel and room shown belong to that proposed style; further changes beyond it are quoted separately. A private guide does not mean private access to a venue.
These hotel and experience styles are starting points, not confirmed offers or guaranteed availability. Dates, season, room choice and experiences affect the final total. International flights and meals excluded unless specified.
What we confirm before you book
These are proposed configurations, not confirmed bookings. Your written proposal names the hotels, room categories, guides, admissions and transport, with the complete price and cancellation conditions for your dates. A private guide does not mean private access to a venue. Requests depend on availability; no special entrance, room feature or restaurant table is guaranteed.
Hotel categories describe the selection we would propose, not a confirmed property. Room size, bed setup, views, air conditioning, lifts, step-free access, breakfast, taxes and facilities are checked for the actual hotel and room.
Optional enhancements are outside the configuration shown until selected and priced in your proposal. International flights, ordinary restaurant meals, drinks and table deposits are separate unless expressly itemized. A tasting or class includes only the food and drinks listed in the proposal.
Something particular in mind?
Mix these ideas or start from scratch. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll prepare a personal quote.
Three nights in Milan give you time for the Duomo, neighborhood lunches and a Brera art day. On day four, move to one Lake Como hotel for three nights. The hotel change has its own day, with time to settle in.
One lake outing. One entirely free day.
Day five focuses on one selected garden or villa. Boat time can fit around that visit when the route, timetable and operating conditions allow. Day six stays free for a quiet morning, a long lunch or time at your hotel.
This example has no fixed package price. Your dates, hotels, rooms, visits and transport determine your tailored quote. The written proposal confirms the total and conditions before you commit; the PDF keeps the same programme for you to discuss with Fred.
A city stay with a lake day is another option
Prefer to keep one Milan hotel? We can plan a focused lake outing and a return that evening. That stay receives its own route and quote. An early flight after a lake stay may instead call for changing the final night to Milan or an airport hotel.
We check the exact hotel approach, luggage handling and the last stretch from your station or pier. Boat arrangements depend on weather and operations. The Last Supper is not included; it can be checked separately. Duomo rooftop admission is a distinct choice from the cathedral visit.
Choose your stay, then shape your days
Your days, at your pace
Illustrative days, not fixed dates. Opening days, transfers and your preferences will shape the final order.
Milan
Duomo
Brera
Lake Como
Day 1: Arrive and settle into Milan
Milan
Settle into your Milan hotel for three nights, with arrival arrangements shaped around your flight or train. Your included welcome coffee is an opportunity to review the days ahead; its timing follows your arrival. Keep any first neighborhood walk short and leave the rest of the day open.
Welcome coffee included in your Chic Trip service
Arrival and nearby dinner planning; any transfer specified in your proposal
Time for yourself: Rest after the journey, then decide whether a short walk close to the hotel feels right.
Day 2: The Duomo and the streets around it
Milan
Make the Duomo the day's main proposed visit, followed by lunch and a gentle walk in the surrounding streets. Admission and the visit format need confirmation for your dates. The rooftops are optional: we review the actual route, remaining steps and your comfort before proposing access, even when a lift is used.
Proposed Duomo visit with admission and guide format to be confirmed
Nearby restaurant choices and a flexible neighborhood route
Time for yourself: Keep the afternoon for a cafe, a little browsing or a hotel break; the rooftops can be left out.
Day 3: Art and neighborhood life in Brera
Milan
Choose a focused visit to the Pinacoteca di Brera as the day's main proposed museum, subject to dated admission confirmation. Enjoy lunch and time in the surrounding neighborhood afterward. If a museum is not your preference, a lighter Brera neighborhood day can replace it. Leonardo's Last Supper is not included.
Proposed Brera museum or neighborhood day, with your preferred format agreed
Lunch and dinner choices around the day's route
Time for yourself: Leave the later afternoon clear to rest, revisit a favorite cafe or prepare for the hotel move.
Day 4: From Milan to one Lake Como base
Lake Como
Move from Milan to one Lake Como hotel for three nights. Choose the town and property with Fred before settling the connection: a private transfer or a train with the required onward transport can be quoted. Station, boat and hotel access depend on that choice. No additional visit is scheduled on this hotel-change day.
Milan-to-lake connection planning, with the selected transport quoted
One lake hotel base and nearby dinner planning
Time for yourself: Use the afternoon to settle in, enjoy the setting and take a short lakeside stroll only if you wish.
Day 5: One villa or garden, at your pace
Lake Como
Plan one villa or garden visit from your lake hotel, selected after checking seasonal opening, admission and walking access. A boat connection or short outing may fit this same day only if operating for your dates and suitable for the route. The service, boarding access and weather conditions need confirmation; no private boat is assumed.
One proposed villa or garden visit, with admission and access to be confirmed
Transport planning and any boat segment only as itemized in your proposal
Time for yourself: Keep the later afternoon free for the hotel or a quiet cafe, without adding a second villa visit.
Day 6: A full day beside the lake
Lake Como
Keep the day free to enjoy your chosen lake base. A leisurely breakfast, a nearby walk or an afternoon at the hotel can be enough; no excursion, driver or boat is scheduled. Hotel facilities and seasonal access are checked for the property you choose. Restaurant suggestions remain available when you want them.
A full free day with local suggestions if wanted
Restaurant selection and reservation requests after your approval
Time for yourself: The entire day is yours, with time to rest, enjoy lunch and pack without a sightseeing deadline.
Day 7: Leave with time for the connection
Lake Como
Plan your departure around the selected lake hotel and the confirmed airport or railway station. The route, transfer format and time buffer will be agreed in your proposal. An early flight may make a final Milan night preferable; that would change the itinerary and quote rather than adding an unplanned rush.
Departure connection planning with any transfer separately specified
A practical buffer based on the actual hotel and departure time
Time for yourself: Enjoy a quiet breakfast if the confirmed departure time allows; no final attraction is scheduled.
