AROUND CASA LORY:
Bellagio, also known as 'La Perla del Lario', is famous for its particular location in the center of Lake Como! The historic center, known as Borgo, occupies the most extreme part of the promontory and is an endless succession of shops, shops and lively clubs. The other hamlets rise on the hill and on the two shores of the lake. We are in the hamlet of San Giovanni, a small fishing village on the Como branch, which has kept its ancient charm! The marina, the beaches, the always well-kept park, and the characteristic streets are always quiet and safe. We are 2km from the historic center, 150m from little beaches and 450m from the town's main beach (the only one equipped with a bar, restaurant and services). You can reach the lake in less of 5 minutes walking. Very close there is also a cafeteria, ideal for breakfast or an aperitif; the park with a play area for children and a fenced area for dogs; the small port with the boat stop, that is the best way to visit all the towns of Lake Como, boat rental without a license, bus stop (Guggiate) and the tourist train stop. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance and grocery stores are within 1 km. You can reach the historic center comfortably by car or on foot in 15-20 minutes, walking through the various hamlets or crossing the gardens of Villa Melzi (they are private so you can choose day ticket or multi-day pass; they are open from 9 to 18.30 from Easter until November 1st). One of the peculiarities of Bellagio is the fact of having both the coast and the mountains, in 15 minutes by car you can reach Monte San Primo, where you can take wonderful walks in the cool, tireless walkers can reach the summit directly on foot along the paths. Visiting our country means walking up and down the streets, tiredness will be rewarded by unforgettable views and views. Do not miss the Gardens of Villa Melzi, the beautiful park of Villa Serbelloni, and the promenade along the lake until you reach Punta Spartivento, which divides the lake into three branches.
Your own car is recommended, it is the easiest way to reach Bellagio. You will have the freedom to also explore the upper part to enjoy incredible views and to take trips to nearby cities. Public transport is not very efficient, especially in winter.

On Monte San Primo the bike park alternates seasonally with the ski slopes. In 15 minutes by car you also can reach the Jungle Raider Park, with paths in the trees for adults and children.

From Bellagio you can make trips to all the coastal towns using the boat, we recommend visiting Varenna, Tremezzo and its Villa Carlotta and Lenno with the famous Villa Balbianello. By car you can reach Magreglio and Ghisallo (famous for the cycling museum), the lakes of Pusiano, Alserio and Segreno (ideal for walking or having a picnic). The cities of Lecco and Como are 25 and 30km away. If you are a wanderer in just over an hour you can reach Milan, Bergamo, Switzerland, Sondrio, Valtellina and Valsassina.
