Bellagio is located right on the promontory that divides Lake Como into two branches: it is the heart, the pearl of the Lario. The old village, where ancient and suggestive houses follow one another, is crossed by mysterious alleys and characteristic cobbled stairways overlooked by colorful shops. Bellagio, like Varenna, is a very romantic village. Closely connected to the name of Bellagio we find that of Villa Melzi with its fantastic gardens overlooking the lake and the park of Villa Serbelloni, the study and convention center of the Rockefeller foundation in New York, with its gardens alternating with stretches of wood with plants centuries-old and exotic, which occupy a large part of the Bellagio promontory.
