I organise the whole day: the scenic flight over the lakes, landing at the restaurant where possible, the table already reserved and the helicopter at your disposal for the return at the end of lunch.
Departure from Milan, Stresa or Orta San Giulio, up to five passengers per flight. The price is on request: it depends on the departure point, on the restaurant chosen and on the total weight on board, which determines the helicopter.
The restaurant bill is paid directly by you. Flight, waiting time and reservation are in the price I write to you.
Where you have lunch
- Villa Crespi
- Lake Orta, three Michelin stars.
- Piccolo Lago
- Mergozzo, right on the water.
- Il Sereno Al Lago
- Lake Como, one Michelin star.
- Other restaurants
- Selected Michelin-starred restaurants on Lake Como, on request.

Take-off from Milan, Stresa or Orta San Giulio. If you have a suitable private site, you can indicate it in the form: I look into taking off directly from there.
