Bellagio

The pearl of the lake

Bellagio, which is also known as the Pearl of the Lake, is considered one of the most romantic destinations of Como Lake. His beauty is due to the presence of suggestive houses with an incredible view on the Lake, fascinating alleys with cobblestones staircases, the characteristic shops which offer local specialties, but above all the breathtaking view on the entire lake. It is impossible not to be impressed of this spectacular panorama. 

Of course in Bellagio there is a huge number of natural, historical and artistic places of interest. For example, Il Museo delle Storia della Navigazione (Navigation History museum), which is set in an old tower ( today used as a museum) and which contains a priceless collection of objects which allowed to ancient men to orient themselves during the previous centuries, Villa Carlotta with his Italian garden and his botanical garden built in 1600, Villa Serbelloni (1600) which welcomes a lot of international conferences and Villa Melzi, which hosts a little museum of very important archeological evidences.

We also suggest to visit the church of San Giacomo, built during the XII century, which hosts a wood statue of the “Madonna della cintura”, one of the most important symbol of the city which is used during the religious processions. You could also visit “Punta Spartivento”, the most extreme point of Bellagio which divides the lake in two different parts. 

Furthermore, if you love relaxing, it is also possible to use (by payment) the equipped beach ( with beach umbrellas and beach chairs) of the lido, where you can enjoy the beauty of the lake and swim quietly. Then, you also have the possibility to have an amazing tour with a boat on the lake, where you can discover all the enchanting details which the lake can offer. The climate is particularly temperate, very similar to the Ligurian coasts, so, you can enjoy your holidays in every period of the year. 

You can also taste the typical lake cooking, which is very poor and simple. For example, you can taste the “Missoltino”, a lake fish usually served with polenta with cheese and butter and the “Risotto con pesce Persico”. In Bellagio there are a lot of local restaurants when you can taste fresh products.

So, Bellagio is the perfect destination if you are looking for relax, natural beauties, history, culture and traditions and it is suitable for families, couples and group of friends. Of course you’ll be fascinated.
