Lake Como and Bellano
The exquisite town of Bellano is located in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy and lies nestled on the eastern shore of glorious Lake Como, widely regarded as being one of the world’s most beautiful lakes and forming with Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano the breathtakingly beautiful area known as Italy’s Lake District.Framed against a delightful and magical backdrop combining alpine peaks and lush foliage, Lake Como is a true oasis of tranquillity renowned for its peace and serenity. The towns and villages which surround the shimmering water’s edge echo a bygone age, and magnificent azure skies reflect in the gently rippling deep blue majesty of the lake. This surely is a glorious location for those seeking style and exclusivity in a stunning and incomparable setting. Beautiful Bellano is a few minutes’ drive from quaint and rustic Varenna,whilst both the fairytale town of Menaggio and the most famous town on Lake Como, the rather spectacular Bellagio, are easily reached by the regular ferries that ply back and forth. Somewhat less ‘touristy’ than its neighbours, Bellano is a small, intimate but extremely well-serviced town with an abundance of high quality restaurants, bars and cafeterias fronting the lake - what better spot to enjoy an espresso or cappuccino - and boutique shops to cater for all needs. The YachtClub in Bellano is the most famous on the lake and offers sailing courses at all levels for both children and adults keen to engage in this very appropriate pursuit. The town’s tree-lined promenade overlooking the harbor is the ideal place to spend an hour or two relaxing and taking in the sights and sounds, perhaps before strolling to the incredible beach with its pristine sand and amazing views. The town is just 100 kilometers from the bustling and stylish city of Milan, Europe’s ultra-chic fashion and design capital, and less than 40 kilometers by road from Switzerland.
