BELLAGIO LAKESIDE APARTMENT

Eight windows of lake-facing glass line the sitting area of this private apartment on Via E. Sfondrati, a quiet residential lane above Bellagio's ferry landing. The kitchenette, dining table, and solarium all face Lake Como, with the mountains of the Grigne range visible across the water.

A private entrance keeps guests separate from any shared building access, and the garden offers a spot for morning coffee before the walk into the village center. Canoeing and windsurfing operators work directly off the nearby shoreline, and Bellagio's ferry pier is a short walk downhill, linking to Varenna and Menaggio across the lake.
