Bianca Relais, by R Collection Hotels

Above the ferry landing on Via Dante Alighieri, Bianca Relais occupies a five-star address in Bellagio's quieter upper lanes, putting Como's mid-lake panorama in direct view from its terraces and garden.

The spa runs a full massage menu — back, neck, couples, and full-body — alongside a sauna and hot tub. A fitness centre with personal training and yoga classes completes the wellness floor. The restaurant offers themed dinners and special-diet menus on request, while room service and breakfast-to-room options suit guests who prefer lake views over the dining room.

Bellagio's car ferry to Varenna runs within walking distance; the hotel's shuttle and car rental desk cover transfers further afield. Bicycle hire and guided bike tours make the Larian Triangle accessible without a car.
