Hotel Belvedere in Bellagio, open JulyDecember.

Hotel Belvedere was originally constructed in the 19th century as a private villa overlooking Lake Como, later transformed into a luxury hotel that has preserved its classical architecture while undergoing careful restoration to meet modern standards.

Perched on the slopes of Bellagio with panoramic views of the lake and Alps, the property offers elegant terraces and period rooms that reflect its storied past.

The hotel combines direct waterfront access with intimate indoor and outdoor event spaces ideal for ceremonies and receptions.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Hotel Belvedere in July! We stayed in the Corner Suite and the room was stunning. We had multiple views of the gorgeous lake and loved sitting on the balcony to admire the beauty. When we arrived, the room had a personalized note wishing us a “Happy Anniversary” and all different treats and champagne. It was a great way to start our stay. The restaurant should have a Michelin Star. The service and the food was incredible. They gave delicious small bites to enjoy with dinner, and also if you just ordered a glass of wine during the day. Breakfast was equally as delicious and the service remained impeccable. The wine tasting with Raffaele was truly unlike any experience we’ve ever had. His knowledge of wine was beyond his years. He learned what we liked from night one and continued to amaze us with his selections. His service was absolutely amazing and my husband and I really enjoyed meeting him. Lastly, I have to give credit to the incredible staff members that made our stay so wonderful. Michela at the front desk was outstanding. From the minute we entered the hotel she was welcoming, helpful, and very genuine. Emma and Greta were absolutely amazing. Always greeted us with a lovely smile could not have been more hospitable. Every interaction with them was wonderful. Youssef and Davide gave incredible service. We loved dining with them and ate at the hotel multiple nights because we loved the service so much. Thomas was a fantastic bartender. Margherita was so sweet and started our mornings off perfectly with the biggest smile. Other staff members that made our stay so wonderful were Julia, Damiano, Jacopo, Ivan, and Mustafa. I highly recommend booking a stay at Hotel Belvedere. We had the best time and hope to be back one day!
