Bellagio: villages, villas and gardens in the heart of Lake Como

Bellagio enjoys a unique position at the tip of the promontory that divides Lake Como into its three branches. Known as the “Pearl of Lake Como”, it enchants visitors with its historic centre, cobbled stairways, elegant shops and picturesque views over the water. From Punta Spartivento, you can admire the central lake, the surrounding mountains and the two shores stretching towards the horizon.

The Gardens of Villa Melzi d’Eril extend along the lakeshore and surround an elegant neoclassical villa dating from the early 19th century. The route winds through tree-lined avenues, English-style gardens, exotic plants, sculptures and enchanting panoramic corners. The springtime flowering of azaleas and rhododendrons is particularly beautiful, filling the gardens with vibrant colours.

The Park of Villa Serbelloni covers much of the promontory overlooking Bellagio and offers magnificent views over the lake’s three branches. Its paths lead through woodland, panoramic terraces and gardens filled with rare and exotic plants. The park can be explored on a guided walk, an ideal way to discover its history and admire Bellagio from a privileged viewpoint.

During your holiday at CaFelicita, you can devote a full day to discovering Bellagio, travelling there by boat. The cruise offers wonderful views of the landscape, villas and villages overlooking the water, making the journey itself an unforgettable part of the excursion.
