Beautiful, glamorous Bellagio sits at the peak of the inverted ‘Y’ of Lake Como, the perfect spot for lake views, and exploration — though it is an attraction in its own right! This gorgeous town is one of the most famous places on the lake, regularly referred to as the lake’s pearl, and some of the best places to stay in Bellagio are also some of the best known hotels on Lake Como. As you might have guessed, Bellagio’s accommodation options range from palatial palazzos, through seriously grand grande dames to traditional, family-friendly hotels that have been in the same family for hundreds of years.
if you love Bellagio’s bustle of holiday activity we recommend a quayside hotel or if narrow and raked streets, bustling with life and commerce grab your attention then the old town centre, around the main road, the Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, will be ideal. There are fantastic places to eat and drink, and to shop for the finer things, and this is where several of Bellagio’s famous churches are found too.
The town also boasts a number of famous villas and palazzos, and it's worth visiting their gardens, even if you can’t see the interiors. Its shoreline has some seriously beautiful beaches too, including the pebbled charmer, San Giovanni, and the more developed Lido di Bellagio.
As with all the top spots around Lake Como, this is an incedibly busy spot come July or August. So if you want to guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Bellagio, we recommend you get organised and book well ahead whatever the season!
