There's no place quite like Lake Como - the lake, the villages, the alps - it's all so sublime. And the food - well at least, at the Restaurant Paolo - is heavenly! Both nights we dined on the plaza, with the almost full moon rising over the alpine peaks as a backdrop and the sparkling water.
Our only full day was spent riding the ferries. First we stopped at the Villa Carlotta, re known for it's hillside/lakeside gardens. When I 1st saw them in 1991; I remember thinking "I can do this!" Not!!! But it's fun to try.
Our next stop was Bellagio - famous for it's many, many steep steps and extremely expensive products. We had a so-so lunch overlooking the lake. Then it was back on the auto ferry to Mennagio.
The Hotel Garni Cornado is located in Mennagio. We had rooms overlooking the lake - a little noisy at night but worth the spectacular view. Their breakfasts were among the best - any kind of coffee you wished, variety of breads, yogurts, fresh juices, meat & cheese.
Then we began packing for our next journey - to Florence.
