The Castle of Vezio shows us a breathtaking scenery of the central part of the Lake, watching Bellagio, Menaggio and Tremezzo. Immersed in a century-old olive grove, the castle tells us stories about its ancient origins. It's believed that the castle is visited by Queen Teodolinda, whose ghost sometimes appears...
