About this ebook
2019 edition - It is no mistake that Bellagio is called the "pearl" of Lake Como. It is undoubtedly the most famous resort on the lake. For centuries, Bellagio's scenic location has enchanted artists and writers, not only from Italy but also from abroad. It is situated on the tip of a headland that divides the lake into the two legs of Como and Lecco.
The town stretches along the coast, and part of it goes up the slopes of the peninsula.
Because of its location Bellagio has a great variety of views; indeed, it offers a good view of the whole lake. On the northern horizon, one can see the Pre-Alps.
Some of the best views can be seen from the top of Monte San Primo and from the park of Villa Serbelloni. On a particularly bright day, one can make out the Alps, from Mont Blanc to the Ortles, and the Madonnina on top of the Duomo of Milan.
Both the historic center situated at a higher level dominated by the Romanesque Basilica Of San Giacomo (enlarged in the Baroque Age) and the more recent arcade lake-front are all preserved intact. Among the aristocratic villas let's remember Villa Serbelloni, first castle, then country residence and transformed into a villa at the end of the 15th century. Later once again restructured in the 17th and turned into a hotel during the last decade of the 19th century, it is presently appointed headquarters of conventions and study tours.
This guide covers Bellagio on Lake Como, from Lecco – Varenna, or, in an alternative, via Como. It covers also day trips with public transportation with the boats to towns and attractions on the lake.
There are extensive descriptions and photos of the attractions.
This guide contains many reviews for the best-recommended restaurants that are at walking distance from the boat pier or the train station.
