Hailed as the pearl of Lake Como, holidays to Bellagio are the crème de la crème of northern Italy.
The pearl of Lake Como
The town of Bellagio on the shores of Lake Como, in northern Italy, is just like a colourful storybook. Bright, splashy facades and winding cobbled streets make it all-day-wander-worthy. Snow-capped peaks dominate the landscape, and the striking lakefront promenade's a nice touch.
Polenta with a view
Chow down on local dishes like polenta and risotto, followed by delicious 'fragole con gelato' – that's strawberries and ice-cream. Have it al fresco at a waterfront restaurant for jaw-dropping views of the lake with every spoonful.
Frolic in the foliage
Bundles of pretty flowers will get you reaching for your camera at the Villa Melzi and Villa Serbelloni gardens. These opulent parks are chock-full of greenery, and you'll find unique sculptures by local artists. Even the nearby shops radiate an old Italian feeling, with handmade silks, woodworks and blown glass for sale.
