Ittiturismo Mella

Mella Ittiturismo is located in the San Giovanni district, one of the most authentic and charming corners of Bellagio, where life flows peacefully amidst the lake, cobbled streets, and local traditions. This establishment combines hospitality, dining, and professional fishing, providing guests with a genuine experience connected to the local area and the rhythm of the lake. Its location, just minutes from the historic center, allows for easy exploration of Bellagio and the wonders of Lake Como, whether on foot or by boat during the pleasant seasons.

Three independent apartments, meticulously detailed and tastefully furnished, offer a relaxing and authentic vacation experience. The Porto apartment, featuring two bedrooms and private terraces, is perfect for those seeking comfort and tranquility just steps from the lake. The Rosa dei Venti, spacious and bright, overlooks the village and is ideal for fully immersing oneself in the atmosphere of Bellagio's historic center without needing a car. The recently renovated La Corte studio is designed for those desiring privacy and convenience in a cozy and functional setting.

Guests can take advantage of the partnership with the Mella restaurant, the vibrant heart of the ittiturismo, where Rosy serves homemade dishes featuring lake fish, prepared with ingredients sourced from local farms. The catch of the day comes directly from Alessandro's nets, who continues the tradition started by his father Rino in 1958, exemplifying a concrete model of short supply chain and sustainability.

The restaurant, officially recognized as an ittiturismo by the Lombardy Region, is one of the few on Lake Como promoting the consumption of freshwater fish according to selective fishing criteria. The menu also highlights lesser-known species, offering traditional dishes from the region alongside more creative recipes. For those interested, it is possible to join a fishing trip with the fisherman and observe the fish processing stages, thanks to the equipped workshop available on-site.

Despite being just 1.5 km from Bellagio, San Giovanni maintains the authentic atmosphere of a lakeside village, with its free beaches, harbor, 17th-century church, and the Museum of Navigation Instruments. Opportunities for excursions and water sports complete an offer that blends relaxation, discovery, and cultural appreciation of the area. Ittiturismo Mella is more than just a stay; it’s an immersion into lake life, filled with family hospitality and authentic flavors.
