Lake Como La Dolce Vita

There must be a reason why the most luxurious and spectacular hotel in Las Vegas is called "Bellagio".

A sought-after place since ancient times, recently Lake Como is celebrated in Hollywood by movie stars who make it a holiday destination, a film set, a classy place, even a source of pride. But regardless of fashions, objectively it seems that nature has made a particular effort to create a water basin set in a spectacular setting: The Alps. An upside-down Y-shaped lake, a bucolic masterpiece with majestic tones that awaken the senses. A perfect picture, which can cross over into the sense of art. Here, one of those places in the world where you stop and look and can't say anything. When it is said to take your breath away...

From an architectural point of view, the Renaissance Villas alone are worth the ticket. In professional cycling, on the other hand, Lake Como is a Mecca, the battlefield of one of the 5 "Classiche Monumento": The Giro di Lombardia. The ascent of Ghisallo, Civiglio, and the Sormano Wall. Places of worship for those who love cycling.

Returning to the real world, you don't need to be George Clooney or Vincenzo Nibali to get a bike and enjoy all this paradise. This is why we have designed a trip at a slow pace, which will lead you to the most iconic places of Lake Como without making too much effort. Grab your bike and cycle along the western shore of the lake via the Greenway del Lago. Enjoy the Renaissance Villas and their incredible gardens. Indulge in a lakeside lunch in Varenna and take a deep breath looking at the mountains from the lakeside of Bellagio. Don’t let it go. Take it. This is La Dolce Vita.
