The Journey
Bellagio
Bellagio, affectionately known as the 'Pearl of Lake Como,' is a captivating resort town perched on the promontory where the lake divides into its Como and Lecco branches. Wander through its charming, colorful houses, picturesque alleys, and up characteristic stairways, discovering the allure of its historic center. Once a retreat for Lombard nobility, Bellagio boasts luxurious villas like Villa Melzi, where Napoleon once stayed, and Villa Serbelloni, now a study center managed by the Rockefeller Foundation. Explore the stunning English gardens and terraced parks, and immerse yourself in the romantic atmosphere that has drawn visitors for centuries.
Cernobbio
Cernobbio, renowned for its breathtaking panoramas and prestigious villas, offers a glimpse into Italian elegance and history. Visit the grand Villa Erba, once the summer home of Luchino Visconti, now a prominent congress center. The crown jewel is the sixteenth-century Villa d'Este, transformed into a luxury hotel boasting princely furnishings and exquisite Italian gardens with lake views. Stroll along the lakefront to admire the Art Nouveau Villa Bernasconi, Villa Pizzo, and the eighteenth-century Villa Fontanelle, each adding to Cernobbio's unique charm (exterior views only).
Como
Como, the city that lends its name to the lake, is a vibrant hub brimming with valuable monuments, a delightful old town, and inspiring vistas. Take advantage of boats and hydrofoils to explore the city from the water, offering unparalleled views of the landscape and the architectural treasures that line the shore. Experience the lively atmosphere and immerse yourself in the cultural heart of Lake Como.
Como Cathedral
The Como Cathedral, considered one of northern Italy's most exquisite monuments, showcases a rich architectural history spanning from its commencement in 1396 to its completion in 1740. The Gothic-style interior, divided by 10 pillars, houses masterpieces by Bernardino Luini and Gaudenzio Ferrari, Renaissance tapestries, and the sixteenth-century altarpiece of Sant'Abbondio. Marvel at the Romanesque stylofori lions from the ancient church of Santa Maria, and immerse yourself in centuries of artistic and religious heritage.
Palazzo del Broletto
The Palazzo del Broletto, built in 1215, is a stunning example of 15th-century marble Gothic art. Situated in the heart of Como, this historic palace once served as the seat of the Palazzo Comunale and later as a theater. Today, it hosts art exhibitions. Its strategic location between the Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace symbolizes the power and prominence of the municipal institutions. Admire its intricate exterior and reflect on its rich civic history. (exterior only)
Basilica of Sant'Abbondio
The Basilica of Sant'Abbondio, constructed at the end of the 11th century on the site of an early Christian church, stands as a magnificent example of Lombard Romanesque architecture. This masterpiece by the Comacini masters, who spread Lombard style across Europe, features a design originally conceived by Benedictine monks. Although altered over the centuries, 19th-century restorations have revived its original splendor. Discover the serene beauty and historical depth of this architectural gem.
