Trombetta express train in Como
Lake Como, Italy Pt.6: Bellagio. A walk around the pearl of lake Como
The pearl of lake Como is probably one of the main reasons most take a trip to the area.
It is a small village with famous villas and a unique view to the lake.
One can either follow walking paths along the lake or visit by ferry or hydrofoil the surrounding villages. Once back, get lost in the numerous stone lanes and stairways and then relax by the waterfront for a café or gelato of your choice. Shopping variety also ranges from clothing to travel souvenirs. There is even a “toy” train on wheels, called the Trombetta Express that tours around the town, with pre-recorded audio guidance!
If you want to visit Bellagio, the fastest way is taking the train from Milan to Varenna
Just 60 Kilometers away north of Milan, on the shores of lake Como lies the small village of Varenna, with its picturesque tain station.
No more than 1000 people inhabit it, which makes it an ideal place for relaxation.
The car ferries from Varenna to Bellagio operate on frequent daily basis. The less than four Km distance is covered in about 15 minutes. The boats are small and operate from sunrise to sunset.

Probably one of the most amazing and most romantic place on earth is Lake Como, Italy, or as the locals call it Como Lago.
It is very easy to get there by train from Milan. From Malpensa airport the fastest route is with a stop in Sarrona, change over to the Como Lago line and 43 minutes later you are in the spectacular city of Como. There is a great app that is a must when traveling in Italy that helps you coordinate the trains, links for google and apple above.
There are plenty of fabulous places to stay here in Como or choose one of the many lake side villages. Some of the most popular include Bellagio, Lenno, Tremezzo and Varemna.
While in Lake Como Italy I stayed at the spectacular Luxury boutique Grand Hotel Tremezzo. It’s as if you were whisked back into time. It is absolutely amazing and romantic!!! I highly recommend that you get a lake view room with a Juliette balcony.
They have a 3 level state of the art fitness center, a spa and 3 pools. One indoor pool, located at the spa, a roof top pool and a pool on the water complete with a beach, you can’t get any better than that! As well as some fabulous restaraunts.
The ferry stop is just a few feet away, for 15 Euros, you can buy a day pass to visit all of the beautiful villages on the lake. My favorite Varenna, click the link above for a tour of the villages of Lake Como.
Next door to the Grand Tremezzo, you can visit the gardens of Villa Carlotta, one of the most visited villas on the lake. You can even jump aboard the Trombetta Express train, thye offer a stop just outside of the Grand as well as at the Villa Carlotta. It takes you to all of the must see sights of Tremezzina. From Lenno, where you will find the Villa Balbianello (scenes from Starwars as well as James Bond, Casino Royal were filmed) then Tremezzo, Cadenabbia, all the way to Menaggio.
