Overview:

Bellagio a well-known tourist location and elegant health resort situated at the top of the headland that divides the lake in two (the west branch towards Como and the east branch towards Lecco). It is 30 km from the village of Como. It is an exceptionally pretty little resort, quiet with no main road and very little traffic. The lake front and upper road are linked by numerous alleyways and flights of stone steps. The town is compact, old and fascinating and the long, flat lakefront is ideal for a lazy stroll with plenty of cafes along the way.
