Pearl of the Lake

by MalenaN - last update: Mar 7, 2009

Bellagio and Lake Como
Alley in Bellagio
Bellagio is a picturesque small town situated on the tip between two branches of Lake Como. It is called the Pearl of the Lake because of its beauty and the town also has got a good climate. In winter it is about 6 - 7 °C and in summer about 25 - 30 °C. And there is sunshine about 200 days of the year.

In the 18th century the nobles built grand villas around Bellagio and already in the 19th century it became a holiday resort. Some of the villas have lovely gardens open to the public, but in February when I visited they were not open. I made a short visit in Bellagio from Como and walked around in the narrow allies with stairs, walked along the lake, visited the church and a couple of cafés.

 Beautiful photos and nice little page, you're tips made me feel hungry. I am planning a visit in December and enjoyed seeing your "winter" photos, the snowy mountains are awesome.

 A beautiful little spot with an excellent cafe! It looks like it was definitely worth your bus-ride.
