Pedaling through town we will reach the fishing village of Pescallo, another hidden gem not to be missed, and San Giovanni, with its fascinating alleys and small shops. You will also stop at the old commercial port of Loppia, home to rare examples of 19th century Larian Gondolas. Towards the end of the tour we will reach a panoramic family-owned Agriturismo overlooking Bellagio, where you will be able to finally relax while taking in the views and being served typical tastings with a glass of local wine.

Itinerary
There is no better way to see a new country or place than by bicycle. If you travel by car, train or bus, it’s like watching a beautiful movie pass by. If you travel by bike, you’re in the movie. The enchanting lakeside village of Bellagio renowned for its picturesque houses, colorful steep stone alleys and grandiose villas has attracted artists, poets and the rich for centuries. During our 3 hour bike tour we will explore Bellagio’s historic center and its marvelous and characteristic surroundings. Our first stop is Limonta a small hamlet on the Eastern branch of Lake Como, which hides in its proximity a small and graceful church, hanging on the cliffs, a unique place to take memorable pictures. Next we cycle on to Punta Spartivento, the extremity of the peninsula of Bellagio which represents the heart of the lake, dividing the Como branch from that of Lecco allowing us to admire the superb views of the lake’s three branches against a towering alpine background. Pedaling through the alleys of the hamlet flanking the magnificent gardens of Villa Serbelloni we will reach the fishing village of Pescallo another hidden gem not to be missed. Moving on over the hills to Aureggio, the upper part of the peninsula, crossing lush gardens and olive groves we pass by noble villas and Romanesque churches descending to the port of Loppia, home to rare examples of 19th century Larian Gondolas. The tour continues to our last stop, a family owned Hotel and Restaurant over the hills of Bellagio where you will be served typical tastings with a glass of fresh local wine.

About Lake Como
Lake Como is a deep, Y-shaped lake in Lombardy, ringed by steep green mountains, pastel villages, ornate villas and terraced gardens.
Lake Como is shaped like an upside-down Y, with three arms that meet near Bellagio. At more than 400 metres deep, it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe, held between steep wooded slopes that rise towards the Alps. Villages with painted houses and small harbours stand along the water, and a network of ferries links them, making a boat the best way to see the shoreline.
Top-ranked sights in Lake Como: Villa del Balbianello, Villa Melzi Gardens (Giardini di Villa Melzi), Como-Brunate Funicular Railway (Funicolare Como-Brunate).
