Best Villas in Como lake Italy

 

Even if you’ll decide to be hosted in my Bellagio centre – lakeside or mountain  houses you’ll like have to visit at least one or two of the many  grand homes along the lake that have been opened up to tourists.

Every visitor to Lake Como should see one of these places.

There is the Villa Melzi in Bellagio , Villa Olmo in Como, Villa Carlotta in Cadenabbia (the most spectacular garden of all), or the Villa Cipressi and the Villa Monastero in Varenna.

A personal favorite are  the Villa Balbianello in Lenno, former domicile of the great Italian explorer Guido Monzino and Villa Serbelloni  Rockefeller Foundation  homes to spectacular gardens. Excellent tours in English.

Since these needs to be “master in deep” we’ll be sure to make details out of any of this places.

Clue of Bellagio, lake Como Italy

I wish you could be inspired from this suggestions to live your best holiday in  Bellagio  – Italy,  one of the world’s most magical places .

My Bellagio locations represents an extraordinary opportunity to rest, research, reflect ,interact …if you’re looking for inxpiration you’ll find in my Bellagio locations one of the most rewarding and creative experience.

Here few suggestions that my friend Mark  shered with my Bellagio:

Bellagio “the Pearl of the Lake” is situated in Lake Como – nort Italy.                     Is a small and strikingly beautiful village, the population is slightly over 3000.The epicenter is the San Giacomo church, worth at least a visit.             Across the litttle plaza is the Bar Sport, a lovely spot to take an espresso or have a gelato .                                                                                                                                   You can even buy a postcard … one of that “old fashion” way to send memories to whom you’re thinking of . What a nice habit to keep doing while traveling… send postcards from all over the world!!!

In via Garibaldi you’ll find the Gelateria del Borgo,regarded of one of the place for best gelato …although it is Italy and almost everywhere is very tasty and good!!!

Similarly with the restaurants. Worth visiting if you decide to splurge ,probe one night are Swiss, La Goletta, La Grotta , Silvio, Antico Pozzo for luch and different pizza at Babayaga.

To keep suggesting about my Bellagio centre how can I forget to talk about cafes and coffee.

I like to go at Bar Caffe Rossi, right on the water along the Piazza Giuseppe Mazzini. The outdoor tables overlooking the lake and the Art Noveau interior is enticing as well.

Many places along here cater primarily to tourists, but the Rossi – at least in the spring and fall – is usually filled with locals.

Likewise with wines. But one extremely special place is the wine cave at Enoteca Cava Turacciolo on the Salita Genazzini, just a few steps opposite of the ferry boat station.

Lots of regional wines by the glass, tasty local meats and cheeses very friendly and knoowlwdgeable staff. A fun place to unwind after a “hard day” of exploring trip.

Cyclist or mountain walking – my Bellagio above

Contemporary travelers are enthusiastic explorers,always looking for a surprising journey experience to enrich them.

They’re curious , always looking for an emotional feeling to bring back home. Passion is the world that will lead them to the discovery  the most seductive and unknown sides of our little hamlets.

There are many way itineraries that you can discover by mountain walking with all levels of difficulty represented. Grab your backpack and comfortable shoes and discover all the discrete places full of charm that dominate the lake’s landscape.

I wish to start  with the daring ascents of Ghisallo, for bicycle lovers.

The ascent starts from Bellagio and climbs up to the Passo del Ghisallo. If you are en expert I suggest you to measure the time starting from the roundabout at the entrance of Bellagio until reaching the small Church of the Madonna and a  beautiful landscape on the eastern side of the lake repaying all the toil of getting there.

If you are one of the  trouely  enthusiasts of cycling the Ghisallo Bicycle Museum situated at the top of the climb is a real temple of memorabilia….
