To just walk up to Lido de Bellagio and pay €140 for a one hour tour now sounded like a bargain.

Their prices started at €200 for a one hour tour of the lake and ended at €1000 for 8 hours on the lake. Prior to arriving to Lake Como, I contacted Barindelli taxi boats for pricing. We ended up defaulting to the usual one hour tour since it included the highlights that were on our list. It cost our family of four €140 for the hour, which sounds like a lot, but for that hour we could custom tailor what we did and where we went on Lake Como. We booked a private one hour tour of Lake Como through Lido de Bellagio. For one wonderful hour, we cruised past extravagant villas, had gorgeous lakeside views of Bellagio, and got up close with numerous small towns that dot the edge of the lake. It takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes to walk from Bellagio to Pescallo.Ĭruising Lake Como from Bellagio was our favorite experience of our day trip to Lake Como.

To get back to Bellagio, you will have to retrace your steps back up this stair climb. This walkway is labelled as Salita Cappuccini on Google Maps. From here, you walk up and over the hill on a pedestrian walkway that is really just another long staircase down to the waterfront in Pescallo. There will be a sign to Pescallo on the left hand side of the road. Getting Here: From Via Guiseppe Giacomo, head south out of town. The view out over the fishing boats is also quite nice. This small town is much quieter than bustling, busy Bellagio and a great place to escape the crowds. Located on the opposite side of the peninsula from Bellagio is Pescallo, a small fishing village. You can visit this viewpoint if you are curious, but consider skipping this to save your steps, and your time, for something else on this list if you will also be cruising Lake Como.

We thought the views were better from the ferry. PRO TRAVEL TIP: If you have plans to take a boat tour of Lake Como or visit Menaggio or Varenna by ferry, the visit to Punta Spartivento is skippable, in my opinion.
