Bellano, situated along the beautiful eastern shore of Lake Como, is a pretty and unspoilt panoramic lakefront town which makes a pleasant and more peaceful alternative to staying in its neighbouring resort town sister of Varenna.
The town offers a wide variety of very good local restaurants, bars, shops and offers excellent transport links with a main line Lecco-Milan train service and road links to the ‘Superstrada’ motorway which takes visitors southwards towards Lecco, the historical Industrial capital of Lake Como. A local ferry service also operates to a selection of pretty villages along the eastern shore and the car and passenger ferry port at Varenna frequently operates throughout the day and evenings to the famous golden triangle resort towns of Bellagio and Menaggio as well as to Villa Carlotta in Cadenabbia. In Bellano visitors can also enjoy activities ranging from tennis, swimming at the family friendly Lido, sunbathing on its popular beach and enjoying a short hike to the famous ‘Orrido di Bellano’, the Gorge of Bellano, an impressive rocky gorge with an incredible waterfall created 15 million years ago by water erosion and today providing a fascinating spectacle. The attraction can be reached along the specially built walking platforms which run through the gorge and past its many mysterious caves and rock formations. Varenna can be reached by car in just 7 minutes and is a wonderful town to explore with its beautiful medieval quarter lined with churches, townhouses, romantic restaurants, bars, cafes and shops and its pretty lakeside promenade which leads to a wider promenade and ferry port. Villa Monastero offers visitors with a beautiful botanical lakeside garden with breathtaking views over Lake Como and can be reached easily on foot from the historical centre of Varenna. The ancient Roman fortress of Vezio, above Varenna is the last resting place of Theodilinda, Queen of the Lombard’s and is a fascinating settlement to visit with medieval re-enactments and falconry displays running during the summer months. Bergamo airport and Milan city are situated just 95km from Bellano. | |
