Bellagio in Italy is between the lake and the mountains and is divided by the via Garibaldi and is criss crossed by a series of pretty lanes of azaleas running down the hillside to the lake. Salita Serbelloni is one of these famous lanes promenaded by thousands of Italian icons. The villas and gardens of Bellagio are true memories of aristocratic days in the16th to 18th century arts when Bellagio was one of the most exclusive resorts in Europe.This opulent architecture and the gardens filled with colours, rare trees and shrubs are a truly wonderful
Bellagio's history

Whilst strolling, you can see ancient monasteries of the hermits from the 10th century, the Hermitage and the caves, plus the view of the mountains from Rovenza to Gravedona. The Nuvolone Mountain presents a typical mountain village of Valmenaggio which gives great views of the three branches of the lake. For the less able there is an easy walk which will lead you to the chapel of San Domenico, the old furnaces and the chiarella spring, a Roman grave and an old sanctuary.

Bellagio Information
Bellagio is a town worth spending a day at in its own right. Although small it is well worth doing the walks, maybe a meal at the excellent restaurant cafe by the harbour, a coffee on the promenade watching the tourists embark and disembark from the ferries which run across the lake all day long. Don't forget that this is one of three main car ferry points on the Lake, making the Magic triangle with Varenna, Menaggio and Bellagio.
