Det bästa av Bellagio

Bellagio Essentials

The essentials of Bellagio: the neoclassical gardens of Villa Melzi on the lakeshore, the wooded park of Villa Serbelloni on the hill above the village, the Romanesque Basilica of San Giacomo and the point of Punta Spartivento, where the lake divides. In the hills behind the village, the Ghisallo pass is a pilgrimage site for cyclists, with a small sanctuary and a cycling museum, and Monte San Primo is the highest summit of the peninsula.
