Before the Bellagio was a hotel on the strip in Las Vegas it was this lovely town on Lake Como in northern Italy. We stayed in nearby Verenna and took the ferry over to Bellagio which is a 5.4 km ferry ride or an hour car ride around the bottom of the lake. Lake Como is shaped like an upside down “Y” and Bellagio is between the two forks of the lake. Bellagio is a beautiful town facing the lake with lakeside cafes under shade trees.
