About Bellagio

Bellagio is located at the tip of the peninsula where the two arms of Lake Como meet and is considered one of the most beautiful places in Italy. The "Pearl of Lake Como" enchants with its winding stone streets, magnificent villas with gardens, and a lakeside promenade that made George Clooney a neighbor. The gardens of Villa Melzi and Villa Serbelloni are botanical masterpieces, and ferries connect Bellagio with Varenna, Menaggio, and Como.
