a month agoWe had a really great time being flown over the lake for 30 minutes. I felt we were in safe hands, in a well maintained aeroplane, and everyone involved seemed to know what they were doing. I suggest arriving earlier than the 15 mins they said, so you can have a coffee, watch how it all works, take some photos, and use the facilities before you fly. Loved it!

in the last weekHad a fantastic time there getting my Seaplane rating last week. The instructors Mateo, Cesare and Carlo knocked me into shape over eight hours and I left home for Ireland with another thing off my bucket list. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. A very special place run by wonderful people! Many thanks!

a year agoFantastic and unique experience! Isabella was the best and made our private flight possible. Thanks to Maverick and Goose ;) Views from above on Bellagio, James Bond villa and Como were amazing. Must do.

3 months agoTerrible experience. I had booked weeks in advance to fly for my birthday and honeymoon, so it was a very special occasion. I got moved 5 times and eventually it was cancelled at last minute ' due to some inconveniences with our airplanes due to lake conditions'. But on the phone i was told other training pilots had priority, so i know i was being fobbed off. I'm sorry but this isnt good enough. Not after 6 months planning, and 2 significant events to celebrate . I had flown with Club Como 10 years ago, and it was fine, but not now. Very much 'computer says no'! Shame on them.
