More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning opens over glassy water as you push off from a quiet pebble strand on Pescallo Bay, the eastern flank of Bellagio where motor traffic thins and the lake pulls you into a gentler rhythm. Pine-stitched slopes lift on either side and the Villa Serbelloni park keeps a low profile, its classical terraces a quiet boundary between cultivated gardens and lake.
