How to book a seven-day package stack

Lock boat and villa first, then Milan, then Lugano or food soft days. Prefer free cancellation around rough water. Insert at least one soft day between Milan and a second city package. Confirm pickup vs pier meeting points.

  • Priority: boat → villa → Milan → Lugano / food → soft recovery
  • Never stack Milan and Lugano on consecutive early musters without rest
  • Screenshot meeting points the night before
  • Modest dress for Duomo and villa interiors

Shoulder months (shoulder-season travel wins) help popular May–June and September slots. Travel light (packing tips).

  • Book before you fly for peak weeks
  • Keep arrival evening optional for food only
  • Bring passport if booking Lugano
