Lake Como



Lake Como, in Lombardy, is an upscale tourist area celebrated for its spectacular scenery at the foot of the foothills of the Alps. The shape of the basin resembles an inverted "Y", with three slender branches converging at Bellagio. At the end of the southwestern one is Como, known for examples of Renaissance architecture, at the end of the south-eastern one is Lecco famous for the novel "I Promessi Sposi - The Betrothed" and at the top Colico. In the center of the lake there is Varenna (the pearl of the lake) and Bellano known as the "town of artists" and named one of the most beautiful villages in Italy "Borghi più belli d'Italia".

FIUMELATTE



Fiumelatte is one of the shortest rivers in Italy, 250 meters long, from its springs to the lake. Its sparkling waters make its incredible milky-white color (hence the famous name of Fiumelatte village that means "milky river"). Its peculiarity is that it is a seasonal torrent: it appears quickly towards the end of March and then disappears in October.

Bellano village



Bellano Lago di Como | Bellano Lake Como | Villa Vista Lago | Villa Lake View | Lake Apartment Rental | B&B | Hotel
Named one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and also called "Village of artists", Bellano has 12 hamlets, all to be discovered and with suggestive names such as the Frazione Oro, so called because the sun always shines and in autumn everything looks like gold! Before flowing into the lake, the waters of the Pioverna torrent travel through an inlet between the rocks, creating a fascinating and evocative spectacle. A popular destination is also the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Lezzeno, built in 1688 after the miracle of blood tears from a Marian image kept in a chapel. Bellano is also the destination of the "Sentiero del Viandante", an ancient road that crosses the woods and which over the centuries has been used for land connections. Events steeped in history and charm are the fish festival in July where it is possible to dine among the festive districts of the town and the fireworks display of the feast of the patron saint SS Nazzaro and Celso. On January 5 of each year the extraordinary "Pesa Vegia" festival, a mixed festival between the sacred and the profane which recalls, with costumes from the 1500s, the Spanish domination and the request of the people of Bellano to the Governor of Como to maintain the metric system. The town is at its best (a must see, highly recommended). Possible routes of stay: excursions on the lake by boat, waterfalls of Bellano, visiting medieval villages and neighboring fishermen (Corenno Plinio and Varenna), Piona Abbey, walks along the historical path of the "Viandante", the famous route Manzoniano Betrothed.
