| BELLAGIO’S WHEREABOUTS | |||
Bellagio, a gem amongst the hundreds of charming Italian resorts, boasts a unique position. |
|||
In the northern regions, just south of the Alps, Italy offers a magnificent series of lakes which have always attracted tourists and visitors seeking fascinating views as well as artistic and natural treasures. These lakes, particularly fascinating and charming, are of glacial origin. They vary in size, ranging from the largest, Garda (370 sq. Km) to the smallest, Montorfano and Segrino, which are each less than a mere single square kilometre. |
|||
|
|||
Amongst the three larger lakes, the richest in terms of charm and culture is undeniably Lake Como whose unmistakable inverted Y shape was carved out by a glacier that was forced to split into two by the mountain that stood in its path. The lake offers the visitor the longest and most indented coastline of all the Italian lakes (170 Km) as well as some of the most delightful natural, architectural, and urbanistic gems of the entire Italian peninsula. Bellagio is in the most attractive part of this earthly paradise: the very tip of the promontory where the lake is split into its two southern branche. |

|
|||
The result is truly astounding: encompassed by the azure waters of the lake, this delightful little town which keeps all its architectural treasures intact nestles in the lush green countryside on the lower mountain slopes. |

|||
This is Bellagio, “Pearl of the lake”, a stone’s throw from Milan, Como, Bergamo, Varese and the Swiss border. An oasis of beauty which is easily accessible yet at the same time sheltered from the commotion of mass tourism. Bellagio is a holiday destination equipped with all the facilities to host the most demanding of visitors, offering varied activities as well as total relaxation for family holidays. |
