The villa I was in is shown on page 18 (lefthand side). I had the second floor of the grey stone building. Page 18 (lefthand side) shows the villa from the north looking south, and on page 18 (righthand side) is the villa from the south looking north.

Page 19 shows the ruins of the original Roman fort that was the first known structure in Bellagio and is on the Villa Serbelloni grounds and not open to the general public.

Page 20 shows the conference center at the top of the hill and the road leading down to the villas and artists-in-residence lodgings.

Page 21 shows the conference center from the opposite side (i.e., from the west looking east).

Page 22 is the view from the conference center down the opposite side of the hill - looking west towards the shore your hotel was likely on. The Grand Hotel is directly below with the 4 bright lights on top and and just to the left (south) you can see the ferry landing with the two pillars.

What a spectacular place!

I hope some of you appreciate this brochure and the neat photos of this unique place. The Villa Serbelloni is the top of the hill in Bellagio and the site of the Roman fort was the original structure on the peninsula and that is what the town Bellagio was based around. The only way to see this is via this brochure or if you get invited there by the Rockefeller Foundation (yes, you can apply to hold a conference there or try to get in as an artist-in-residence). Otherwise, it is closed to the public and the normal tourists don't even know about it.
