Description
Bellagio in Lombard is a comune in the Province of Como in the Italian region of Lombardy. It is located on Lake Como. The arms of the lake form an inverted Y. The triangular land mass at the base of the inverted Y is the Larian Triangle. The Como arm of the lake lies to its south west, the Lecco arm of the lake to its south east. At the northern point of the triangle sits Bellagio, looking across to the northern arm of the lake and, behind it, the Alps. It has always been famous for its location. Bellagio is situated upon the cape of the land mass that divides Lake Como in two. Bellagio's main square has cobblestone steps that lead to the town's shops, cafes and restaurants. It is a small village at the tip of a long hilly promontory and an elegant, long-established tourist resort, which still retains considerable charm despite the daily influx of trippers. The historic village of Bellagio only has a population of around 200 (compared to 900 beds for tourists), and most locals live in other hamlets and villages. The tiny town is an excellent place to spend a relaxing romantic holiday or simply to base yourself for an exploration of Lake Como. With lovely views, classy boutiques, two gardens to visit, picturesque lanes, a choice of restaurants and bars, and frequent boat services, Bellagio really is one of Italy's top holiday destinations.
