Bellagio is different to Como, it is much smaller, and offers charming cobbled streets, elegant villas, and beautiful gardens, such as those at Villa Melzi and Villa Serbelloni. Stroll along the Lungolago promenade, enjoy a lakeside lunch, and take in stunning views of the Alps from Punta Spartivento. Bellagio’s charm makes it one of the most popular destinations around Lake Como.

When you’re there, make sure to visit Passeggiata degli Innamorati (Lovers’ Walk) and the stunning gardens of Villa Monastero. You can also walk up to Castello di Vezio for panoramic lake views, or relax at a waterfront café with a glass of local wine.
