Bellagio

CHAPTER 8

Our second day looking out on the picturesque waters of Lake Como, we decided to take the ferry over to the celebrated town of Bellagio.  I was expecting glitz and glamour to the extreme: opulent hotels and gilded restaurants, with crisp suited bell hops and stiff lipped maître d’s welcoming famous movie stars as they stepped out of their shiny red Lamborghinis… well, let’s just say it is not quite that extravagant, but I was actually thoroughly pleased by this- the town felt laid back and authentic, with just the right amount of class to set it apart from its sister cities crowded around the lake, but not enough to make it feel snooty or unwelcoming.
