Excursions in Bellagio

Nestled at the tip of a promontory where Lake Como's three branches meet, Bellagio has long been hailed as the "Pearl of Lake Como." At Foxiepass, we're passionate about sharing the magic of this enchanting town with visitors from around the world. Our guided tours offer an insider's look at Bellagio's most captivating sights, ensuring you don't miss a single moment of wonder.

Villa Melzi: A Botanical Paradise

One of our favorite stops is the breathtaking Villa Melzi. As you stroll through its meticulously manicured gardens, you'll feel like you've stepped into a living painting. The villa's neo-classical architecture provides a stunning backdrop to the vibrant azaleas and rhododendrons that burst into bloom each spring. Our guide, Maria, loves to share the story of how Napoleon once visited these very gardens – it's like walking in the footsteps of history!

The Heart of Bellagio: Centro Storico

No visit to Bellagio is complete without exploring its charming historic center. As we wind our way through the narrow cobblestone streets, you'll be captivated by the quaint shops, cafes, and gelaterias that line the way. Don't be surprised if you find yourself stopping every few steps to snap photos of the colorful buildings and flower-adorned balconies. Our local guide, Marco, knows all the best spots for that perfect Instagram shot!

Chiesa di San Giacomo: A Slice of Medieval Italy

For history buffs and architecture enthusiasts, the Chiesa di San Giacomo is a must-see. This 12th-century church is a beautiful example of Romanesque-Lombard style, and its interior houses some truly remarkable frescoes and sculptures. Our guide, Sophia, has a knack for bringing the church's rich history to life with her engaging stories and little-known facts.

Punta Spartivento: Where the Lake Divides

For those seeking panoramic views, we'll take you to Punta Spartivento, the very tip of the Bellagio peninsula. Here, you can witness the breathtaking sight of Lake Como splitting into its three branches. It's the perfect spot for a group photo, and on a clear day, you can even see the snow-capped Alps in the distance. Trust us, it's a view you won't soon forget!

Villa Serbelloni: A Glimpse of Luxury

While the villa itself is not open to the public, our tours include a visit to the stunning park of Villa Serbelloni. As we explore the lush grounds, you'll learn about the villa's fascinating history and its current role as a study and conference center.
