Bellagio (Beláas in Como dialect[6], AFI: [beˈlɑːs]) is an Italian municipality of 3 628 inhabitants in the province of Como in Lombardy. The municipality belongs to the Larian Triangle Mountain Community (with Canzo as its capital) and its territory represents one of the ideal vertices of the Larian Triangle.

A renowned resort, it is famous for its picturesque location right on the ramification of Lake Como in its southern arms, with the Alps visible beyond the lake to the north.

Entrepreneur Steve Wynn fell in love with Lake Como while spending vacations between Bellagio and Lierna with his wife Elain, and built an American resort in the city of Las Vegas, which opened in 1998, inspired by the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni.

Getting there and where to stay

From Dorio you can do Bellagio in a day, going through Varenna and taking the ferry across. Other places on the eastern shore are on the Experiences page, and for a base there are the Residence Dorio apartments.
