Things to Do
Bellagio is called “The pearl of Lake Como” not only for its beauty, but also for its geographical contour: despite being close to the mountains, this village has the fortune of a Mediterranean climate that has encouraged the growth of olive trees and gives life to the great spring blooms of azaleas, attracting fans of flowers from all over the world. The architectural history of the place expresses itself in harmony with the period colorful houses of the center town.
Other Picturesque Villages and Cities
There are several popular villages to visit while on Lake Como, such as Varenna, Menaggio, Lenno, and many others, all of them with their history, peculiar buildings and museums, and panoramic views. For those curious about the cities nearby, Como and Lecco are the main destinations, but also Milan and Bergamo are favored among our guests.

What to See in Bellagio?
Bellagio is Lago di Como’s most popular town. Its popularity is due to its mix of luxury villas and its tiny, lovely alleyways abundant with characteristic shops and gelaterias.
Stroll the Boardwalk
There is a long stretch of boardwalk along the lake lined with full trees and sweet sitting benches.
The boardwalk is especially lovely because it provides you expansive views of the mighty mountains and sprawling surface of Lago di Como.
You can also take a seat on the steps of the marina for similar views and a moment of peace and quiet to take it all in.
Parco Martiri della Libertà:
Parco Martiri della Libertà is a grand botanical garden-esque park near the town center of Bellagio. The wide green park completely juxtaposes Bellagio’s tight streets! It’s a perfect place to relax amidst the bustle. Benches and sitting spots are all over to enjoy the views and the Italian sun.
Charming Shops:
I think the pictures do the talking when it comes to telling you about Bellagio’s charming streets.
The cascading stone stairs lead you up and down narrow walkways lined with everything from gelaterias to shops of handmade goods.
Every so often you turn and get a peek at the soaring mountains of Lago di Como beyond the rich orange and yellow rooftops. There are also some of the cutest lakeside restaurants. Restaurant de l’hotel Florence has a dreamy garden terrace and pergola overlooking the lake.
