Lake Como.

Lake Como.

Lake Como which is also known as Lario, is the third largest in Italy & the deepest ( 1,345 feet). It is shaped like a sprawling upside -down Y, with the arms of Locco, Como & Colico. The como shore is the most developed , with numerous restaurants and hotels, as well as a scenic road that follows the ancient Strada Regina, lined with elegant villas & aristocratic gardens. While visiting Como, have a drink at Villa D’Este, worth the stop. Villa D’Este was built by the Pellegrino Tibaldi in 1570 for the Gallio family, it became a luxury hotel in 1873, frequented by princes & actors.

Day Trips.

Let’s set the record straight, Lake Como was handsome before George Clooney moved there. This beautiful peninsula reaches out to greet visitors as they drift past on boats and it is impossible not to get smitten by Bellagio’s inviting waters, rugged, zigzaging streets, red roofed buildings, lush cypress groves & gardens. You can get close & personal with the entire town in an hour or two. you can wander for a while & then have a lunch or a latte at a lakesideĀ  coffee shop or just hop a boat back to Como. Bellagio, has two splendid villas to explore, Villa Serbelloni & Villa Melzi with its beautiful gardens.It is 75 kms north of Milan.

Bergamo, is located in the Alpine foothills & is breathtaking. It is 58 kms east of Milan. The Piazza Vecchia, is a majestic medieval square & the ideal location some buttery biscotti that melts on your tongue.

Must see , Verona.

The city is an architectural aphrodisiac with fairy- tale Palazzo of striped brick and marble & secretive streets. Another legend that Romeo & Juliet lived here, visit the Casa di Gulietta, siteĀ  of countless pledges of undying love – some of them sincere. ( 161 kms east of Milan).
