🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Milan Cadorna Station → Varenna-Esino station + bus to Bellagio (via ferry short cut)
💡 This is the cheapest option from MXP airport (direct Malpensa Express to Cadorna). For Bellagio, get off at Varenna-Esino, walk 10 mins to the ferry pier, then take the 5-minute passenger ferry to Bellagio (€3). Avoid the bus from Varenna – it's slow and crowded.
Como San Giovanni ferry terminal → Bellagio ferry pier (Piazza Martiri, 10 min walk to apartments)
💡 Take the slow 'battello' (€10, 2 hours) for a scenic ride – you pass Villa Balbianello and Villa Carlotta. Tickets sell out in summer, so buy online a day ahead. The hydrofoil is much cheaper than taxi but less frequent.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, Bellagio
💡 Book a fixed-rate transfer with a company like Bellagio Transfer or NCC; avoid metered taxis as they can surge. Driver will drop you right at the hotel's lakefront entrance.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) Bus Terminal → Como San Giovanni Station (then ferry to Bellagio)
💡 Buy the shuttle ticket online pre-flight to save 20%. At Como, the ferry terminal is a 5-minute walk from the bus drop-off – just follow the lakefront. This combo avoids the costly taxi but takes longer; pack light as you'll lug bags onto the ferry. Best for off-peak when transfers aren't rushed.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Appartamenti I Giardini Di Villa Melzi, Bellagio
💡 Book a single taxi from MXP to Bellagio (direct, no lake ferry) if you're 3-4 people; split cost is reasonable. Otherwise, take the €15 shuttle to Como city, then a €80 taxi to Bellagio.
Como San Giovanni Station (bus stop outside) → Bellagio (Piazza Mazzini)
💡 Sit on the left side for the best lake views. The bus can be crowded in summer; try the 08:15 departure to miss the tour groups. From the bus stop, it's a steep 10-minute uphill walk to the hotel – aim for the funicular or ask the driver for the 'Grand Hotel' stop, but it's not always announced.
Como Largo Leopardi → Bellagio Piazza Mazzini (5 min walk to apartments)
💡 Sit on the left side for stunning lake views, but seats fill fast. The bus is narrow and windy – avoid if you get motion sickness. Stops at Pescallo before Bellagio if you're at the apartments' side gate.
Varenna-Esino (train station ferry port) → Bellagio (ferry landing)
💡 This is the most scenic option from Varenna. Arrive 10 minutes early to grab a spot on the upper deck. The ferry stops right at Bellagio's main pier; the hotel is a 5-minute flat walk along the lakefront promenade. Don't confuse this with the private 'traghetto' which is just a car ferry.

Top Attractions in Bellagio
💡 Extend the walk south to the end of the harbour wall near the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni – quieter and better photo angles.
💡 Pop in during a midweek afternoon – it's often empty and you can study the faded frescoes without a queue.
💡 The side door on Via Roma is usually unlocked when the main door is closed. No photography allowed during mass (approx. 9am and 6pm weekdays).
💡 Go at sunrise on a clear day – you'll have the spot to yourself and catch the mist lifting off the water.
💡 Go at sunrise for the quietest moment. Later in the day it's packed with selfie sticks. Pack a small snack—the cafe at the nearby Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is overpriced.
💡 Wear proper shoes—the stone steps are uneven and slick after rain. Stop at the small piazza halfway up for a breather and a photo. Takes about 10 minutes at a steady pace.
💡 The key is kept at the bakery next door at Via Garibaldi 42. Ask politely and they'll let you in. Small donation (€1) appreciated but not required.
💡 Start at Piazza Chiesa and work down Salita Serbelloni – the steep shortcuts to the waterfront avoid the tourist crush.
