Central part of the Lake
 This area of the lake takes on different shapes because of the unification of the two branches, Lecco and Como. We have the wide open area between Menaggio-Bellagio-Varenna and the closed area towards Argegno. It is at this point that the mountains slope vertically into the lake and that the lake reaches its maximum depth (410 metres, the deepest of the Italian lakes.)
It is an area which is rich in history with evidence of a glorious past to be discovered in the beautiful villas scattered on both banks of the lake.
In Tremezzina Villa Carlotta represents a real treasure, and in spring its gardens full of blossoming azaleas provide a spectacular view for nature lovers.
In the rooms of the historic villa there is a museum with famous paintings and sculptures.
Varenna with its villas, Villa Monastero and Villa Cipressi, has reached international fame as a tourist centre and venue for Congresses
In Bellagio, the "Pearl of the Lario", tourism is the main economic industry. Here too a destination for the elite, whilst strolling under the porticos, one can meet stars from the world of sports and showbusiness.
Art has left a profound mark in this area, the history of the villas and of the picturesque villages has so much to tell us and the landscape is breathtaking.
Villa Melzi with its museum and its gardens, Villa Serbelloni with the characteristic portico of Loppia, and San Giovanni, the dividing point of the two branches, are just a few of the treasures which fascinate tourists and arouse enthusiasm amongst art lovers and admirers of artistic beauty.
Even in the luxurious hotels which line the shores with cafeterias and resturants one discovers a tourism which boasts old traditions.
Tremezzo, Griante, Cadenabbia, Menaggio, Bellagio and Varenna were the localities preferred by the European nobility at the turn of the 19th century. This is the time in which tourism was born. It has since then grown into an industry which todays offers a refined hospitality with congressional facilities and where sports and leisure boats are built and exported all over the world.
It is in the central area of the lake that we reach peak accomodation capacity with different classes of hotel facilities which year by year are boosted with new important additions.
