Bellagio, the Pearl of Lake Como – A Journey from Milan

Bellagio, situated at the tip of a scenic promontory where Lake Como splits in two, is one of its most iconic and beloved destinations. Begin your journey from Milan by private car/minivan. In Bellagio, meet your private guide and board a traditional wooden taxi-boat for a delightful cruise along the coast. Pass charming villages such as Tremezzo and Varenna and gently cruise around the Bellagio peninsula, surrounded by mountains and sparkling waters. Disembark to visit Villa Melzi d'Eril, a neoclassical jewel built in the early 1800s for Duke Francesco Melzi d'Eril. Stroll through its English gardens, a serene blend of exotic plants, classical sculptures and lake views. Back in Bellagio's historic center, stroll through cobblestone alleys lined with craft stores and boutiques. The experience concludes with a guided tasting of Italian wines paired with traditional cured meats and cheeses at a cozy local winery. At the end, return to Milan by private car/minivan.
