Bellano Italy


Bellano…
Thriving Tourism in Lake Como Italy

Bellano is a small town on the eastern shore of this Italy lake that has always stimulated our curiosity.

We passed by it many times by train while commuting between various towns on the Eastern shores of the lake. Just before reaching the train station traveling from the north, you may notice the Orrido di Bellano – an amazing gorge with streams of running water right after the train exits the tunnel. More on that in a second…

The town is not nearly as heavily touristed as nearby Varenna. But you may catch the occasional tourist who was sent here due to all the hotels in Varenna being overbooked! And what a feast it was to finally take the time and visit this beautiful town…

Bellano Italy is a really pleasant town in the middle of the Como lake. Just another one of the many pearls in Lake Como and among the most wonderful spots to visit in northern Italy! Bellano is positioned very close to Bellagio, so you will be able to benefit from the tranquillity of a smaller town, while still be within strolling distance of most necessary services.

Gabbiano near Bellano Italy The town isn’t crazily touristed as near-by Varenna or Bellagio. However, you could get the casual tourist who had been sent here, when all of the resorts in Varenna or Bellagio are sold-out! And that is not always bad news, as you could have an extraordinary stay in this town.

You will immediately notice some lovely, elaborate houses right on the lake and also a good ship-dock with a lengthy promenade. When your boat approaches the tranquil coastline of Bellano, take note of the many interesting, tall trees. You’ll also have no troubles locating a quiet seat beneath the trees that supply you with a splendid panoramic view of the western shorelines of the lake. The shade is an added bonus throughout the summertime!

Visit Tremezzo Italy

Tremezzo Italy is a very small town with a population of just under 1500 people.

Yet, it holds some of Lake Como’s most precious villas including the Villa Carlotta with its lovely gardens and collection of sculptures and a classy 5-star Grand Hotel. In fact, the town is so small that you can cover its entirety by foot in a couple of minutes, walking down its lakeside promenade.

Tremezzo’s highlight is the Villa Carlotta, constructed throughout a fifty year span, beginning near the finish of the 17Th Century. The property grounds are truly stunning, containing over 150 types of rhododendrons and azaleas. Its artwork museum is devoted chiefly to neoclassical artwork and other sculptural masterpieces. To cover slightly different ground, do take the time to also visit the nearby Museum of Agricultural Resources found within an historical greenhouse around the home.
