Home | Cycling | Routes | Through the panoramas that captivated centuries of aristocracy
This route of medium difficulty runs entirely through the coastal roads of the most beautiful branch of Lake Como that has enchanted the aristocracy for centuries. Important points of interest are the town of Nesso, a picturesque village known for its natural gorge located at the mouth of the Tuf and Nosè valleys; the historic city of Como; and finally the elegant villas such as Villa Olmo, Villa d’Este and Villa Carlotta. The bike tour finishes with a crossing of the lake by ferry to Bellagio.

What makes us particularly proud and enthusiastic: words from our guests
Surreal luxury experience at an incredible price
I didn’t stay here, but I booked a table at the restaurant for my dad’s 60th birthday. It was absolutely incredible. Lunch at Il Perlo is the best way to GUARANTEE a great Lake Como experience because the view is so absolutely spectacular you’re forced to question if it’s real. They have a shuttle, which makes it SUPER accessible and is a quick drive from the pier. The chef made special veg dishes for us. The experience – for a mind-boggling good price – was absolutely fantastic. I would especially recommend the place to international travelers or people who are coming from far-off cities. It’s the single best place to book if you don’t want to take any risks or chances with your holiday experience.

Breathtakingly beautiful location in Italy Lake Como, Topped off by irrecrible cycling team! Had the most wonderful time and experience. Carlo and the Team created a hassle free cycling experience, nestled in the hill of Lake Como. It was a dream come true for me to cycle with this Bike shop. Huge thank you to the Athos and Beau Bikes for looking after me, especially Athos! Really enjoyed cycling with you both. Thank you to Carlo and Team, for making my birthday special! Looking forward to seeing you all soon xx

Il Perlo Panorama is exactly what it say in its name” “A pearl with amazing Panoramic views”
The hospitality of Signor Carlo , his Mother Signora Piera & their staff were so attentive & could not do enough for our group.
The rooms are spacious & clean. Choice of basic rooms to larger suites.
I would recommend this to small & large groups

A real "home away from home"
An outstanding family-operated place, with a very unique view over the lake. It is an excellent place to stay in Bellagio, highly recommended and with a very relaxing atmosphere. The owners and the staff are all very nice persons and do their best to help and make the guests feel at home. The area offers endless places to visit, and our next time will certainly be in this hotel.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this route crosses fairytale landscapes. Moreover, even the VIPs remain enchanted.
