For centuries, Bellagio's scenic location has enchanted artists and writers, not only from Italy, but also from abroad. It is situated on the tip of a headland that divides the lake into the two legs of Como and Lecco. The town stretches along the coast and part of it goes up the slopes of the promontory. Because of its location Bellagio has a great variety of views; indeed, it offers a good view of the whole lake. On the northern horizon one can see the Pre-Alps.
