Ciao, buongiorno! My name is Alessandra and I'm a true local in Como area, as I was born and grew...
Itinerary not perfect? Message Alessandra F. to build a tour that’s just right for you.
Let's discover together Lake Como and Bellagio visiting this lively village and the gardens of Villa Melzi! Bellagio is an icon, and of course it's a pleasure to explore the alleys, looking for the different silk designs on scarves and ties and spending time with a gelato at "La Punta", the panoramic spot right in the middle of the lake. From there you can see the 3 branches of Lake Como at once and get a view over the snow-capped Alps. But what I do really love about this tour is leaving behind the buzz and entering the peaceful gardens of Villa Melzi. This experience makes it very clear why Bellagio has been chosen for centuries as the retreat for the noble and rich families. Great views, a surprising collection of plants and a magnificent elegant villa, which still today is owned by the same family which built it 2 centuries ago. In the gardens of Villa Melzi you can imagine yourself sipping a tea with the Duke Francesco or spending a hot summer day reading a book by the lake, under a centenary tree.
