Bellagio

Bellagio is considered one of the most beautiful towns on the shores of Lake Como and is often called the “pearl of the lake”. This picturesque town is situated at the crossroads of the three arms of Lake Como, giving it an exceptional view of the surrounding waters and mountains.

Among its main attractions are its magnificent gardens, such as those at Villa Serbelloni and Villa Melzi, which are open to the public and offer breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding countryside. The historic centre of Bellagio, with its narrow, stone-paved streets and stylish buildings, is ideal for an afternoon stroll.

Bellagio is also known for its elegant boutiques, which sell everything from local art and handicrafts to high fashion. There are also first-class restaurants serving local Lombard specialities and offering views of the lake.

Bellagio is easily reached by boat, which regularly sail from various points on the lake, including the town of Como. A boat trip offers not only a comfortable way of transport, but also an unforgettable travel experience where you can admire the beauty of the lake from a bird’s eye view.
