Hotels Bellagio, Guesthouses Bellagio and Residences Bellagio

Bellagio is one of the most appreciated holiday destinations in the province of Como. Situated just in the heart of the so-called Triangolo Lariano, it nestles on the slopes of the promontory of  San Primo, which marks the watershed between the two arms of Lake Como. Bellagio has been a renowned tourist centre since the ancient times: according to some researchers, it was once the seat of one of the most beautiful villas of Pliny the Elder.

All year round, the comfortable hotels and guesthouses which are situated along the lakeside promenade attract large numbers of tourists. They will have the opportunity to choose among a remarkably wide array of accommodation options, which range from luxury hotels up to intimate bed and breakfast. Bellagio's mild climate attracts large numbers of sportsmen, who flock to the local residences and small inns overlooking the lake to perform water sports and exciting outdoor activities. The slopes of the local promontory are scattered with charming farmhouses, which give guests the possibility to enjoy sweeping views over the underlying landscape and to explore fascinating itineraries.

Bellagio's city centre is peppered with sumptuous villas and stately homes, which were built between the XVIII and the XIX century, when the city became one of the most appreciated tourist detinations in Europe. Those who reach Bellagio by ferry will have the opportunity to admire the splendid Villa Melzi, which is mirrored in the clear waters of the lake. This impressive nineteenth-century building is situated within a short walking distance from the pier; its interior cherishes a small museum and a small chapel which was realized at the beginning of the nineteenth-century.
A tourist train leaving from Bellagio's pier leads tourists across the city's most characteristic sights and typical nooks and crannies.
Bellagio's ancient village gathers narrow cobbled streets and steep staircases which are dominated by both glamorous boutiques and small workshops selling local handicrafts. Outstanding monuments, such as the Church of St. Giacomo in piazza della Chiesa, one of the most representative examples of the traditional Romanesque architectural style from Lombardy, and the nearby Church of St. Giorgio, attract visitors to the highest part of the city, which is included in the nearby hamlet of Borgo and is easily approached from the pier.
Sport lovers who flock to Bellagio will have the possibility to join well-equipped sports centres where they can perform both exciting outdoor activities and water sports, such as rowing associations, water-skiing schools and proper centres to hire windsurfing boards and motor boats, as well as to take advantage of modern sports facilities gathering swimming pools, tennis courts, five-a-side football pitches and riding grounds.
