Hotel Villa d’este   Villa Balbionello

I WAS AT LAKE COMO FOR 3 DAYS… IN COMO WE WALKED ALONG ” LA PASSERELLA”, A PROMENADE ALONG THE WATER BORDERED BY CYPRESS TREES, ENJOYED THE CITY WITH ALL THE MUST HAVE SEES, TOOK THE FUNICOLARE TO THE PITURESQUE HILL-TOP  VILLAGE BRUNATE, WITH A GREAT VIEW OF COMO…WITH FERRIES TO THE BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES BELLAGIO, MENNAGIO, LENNO AND VARENNA , WHERE WE VISITED VILLA MONESTERA, PIAZZA SAN GIORGIO AND THE MANY HIDDEN GEMS ALONG THE NARROW STEPS…

WE STAYED IN BELLAGIO, ON THE SHORE OF LAKE COMO……STEPS ARE EVERYWHERE IN BEAUTIFUL BELLAGIO, AS YOU SEE ON MY PICTURES…LUCKILY NOT SO CROWDED AND TOURISTY THIS TIME OF THE YEAR AND IT’S EVEN MORE BREATHTAKING FOR THIS REASON.

VILLA BALBIANELLO, THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING GARDEN I HAVE EVER SEEN, THE GROUNDS ARE SIMPLY STUNNING AND OF COURSE THE VIEW IS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL

HOTEL VILLA SERBELLONI WAS A WINNER IN SERVICE

WE ALSO VISIT  BEAUTIFUL CERNOBBIO AND SHOP A LITTLE IN SWITZERLAND, JUST 15 MINUTES ACROSS THE BORDER AND HAVING  DINNER LATE IN THE AFTERNOON IN COMO BEFORE LEAVING TO THE AIRPORT…   IT WAS EASY TO ENJOY THIS PERFECT TRIP FOR A LONG WEEKEND, WITH WARM AND FUZZY WEATHER!

AND TO VISIT HOTEL VILLA D’ESTE WAS ALWAYS ON MY WISHLIST…

THE BOOK I READ ON THIS TRIP:  SEI IL MIO TESORO- OF  ITALIAN WRITER NICCOLO AMMANITI… I AM A FAN OF HIS MOVIE ” IO E TE” !
