Bellagio lies at the foot of the central promontory of Lake Lario and is considered one of the most beautiful resorts—not only on Lake Como, but worldwide. Its beauty has been praised by Italian and foreign visitors since the 16th century. Bellagio's appeal lies primarily in its panorama, as from here, one can overlook a large part of Lake Lario.Add to this the magnificent villas, the lavish natural beauty of trees
and flowers, the picturesque staircases, and the numerous walking opportunities—and you can understand why Bellagio deserves the nickname "Pearl of Lake Como."Bellagio was already inhabited in prehistoric times, existed during the Middle Ages as a fortified village, and as a free commune during the Ten Years' War, when it fought against Como. It was then first owned by the Visconti family, then by the Marchesino Stanga, and finally by the Sfondrati family. The interior of the Romanesque parish church of St. Giacomo contains several extraordinary works: Perugino's Descent from the Cross, Vincenzo Foppa's Madonna, and a Romanesque cross. Numerous convenient boat connections are available to the towns on the surrounding shores.dercomersee.com/bellagio.htm

Bellagio is and is just so beautiful that you absolutely have to recommend this tour of the place. The central location, almost in the midst of Lake Como with views of all 3 arms of the lake gives the Bellagio a unique charm worldwide.

Bellagio is a very beautiful city. Because of its narrow streets and impressive buildings, it is worth stopping and visiting.
