Bellagio (Lake Como)
Bellagio, at the tip of the promontory where Lake Como divides into its two branches, is one of the lake's most sought-after destinations for honeymooners, wedding guests and travellers staying at its grand lakeside hotels and villas. A private car from Geneva Airport avoids train changes in Milan and ferry crossings with heavy luggage.
Chauffeur's tipThe lakeside road to Bellagio is narrow and winding: if you are prone to car sickness, ask to sit in front and let the chauffeur know, he will drive accordingly.
From Geneva Airport to Bellagio
Your chauffeur chooses between two Alpine crossings into Italy. The first follows the Rhône valley through Valais to Brig, crosses the Simplon Pass and descends to Domodossola and Lake Maggiore before continuing east to Como. The second goes via Chamonix and the Mont Blanc Tunnel, then through the Aosta Valley and across the Lombardy plain. From Como, the final stretch follows the eastern shore of the western branch of the lake to Bellagio. Allow around four and a half hours.
Arriving in Bellagio
The village climbs from the waterfront in steep, stepped lanes, many of them pedestrian. We drop you at your hotel entrance on the lakefront or as close as vehicles can go, and at villas and residences around the promontory. Bellagio is also linked by car ferry to Varenna, Menaggio and Cadenabbia, but with a private car you arrive by road without changing vehicles or carrying luggage onto a boat.
Practical advice
The road from Como to Bellagio is scenic but slow, with narrow sections where coaches and cars must pass carefully, especially in summer. For a wedding party, the V-Class van takes up to seven guests and ten bags, and the Sprinter minibus suits larger groups. Child seats are provided on request. In winter, the Simplon Pass can be affected by snow; your chauffeur will choose the safest route. AirportsTransfers.ch can also book your return to Geneva Airport, with the fixed price shown before online payment.
