Bellagio's lakefront seen from a boat on Lake Como

Hotels in Bellagio: the pearl of Lake Como

Bellagio sits on the point where Lake Como's three arms meet, so many of its rooms look over water on more than one side. It's the classic base for the central lake.

Bellagio stands at the tip of the peninsula where Lake Como divides into its southern arms. Its lakefront promenade, stepped lanes and villa gardens make it the lake’s best-known village.
