My View on the lake in Lake Como in Italy
Only a short bus ride, 25 miles north of Milan, is one of the most picturesque throughout Italy - Lake Como Its shores are marked with charming villages and fabulous old mansions, a larger and more ornate than the previous one. The crystal clear water invites one to rest and have time to enjoy everything the lake and surrounding lush scenery to offer. Lake Como is the third most largest lake in Italy, I realized that only quiet but magical. With its lush gardens and spectacular views of the Mediterranean, it is easy see why he has earned the reputation as one of the most romantic getaways in Italy.
Traveling with my husband, son and daughter, we were all happy to join the hotel we had booked for our stay. The Hotel Bellevue was our unanimous choice. Built in 1820, residents the majestic Villa Carlotta. On arrival, we are pleased that the hotel was situated at the foot of Lake Como The hotel was nice. He had a charm, gardens, antique furniture, and outdoor pool. The lobby was impressive with a huge Venetian chandeliers and a wide sweeping staircase. Art that adorn the walls. The rooms were beautiful, with antique furniture, Italian linens and soft.
After unpacking and settling into the rooms, it was time to explore. As soon as we left the hotel when we saw a nice restaurant called "The Victorian Tea Garden" which sat on the shores of Lake Como We were sitting in a beautiful outdoor table covered with white linen cloth. To our delight, a pergola climbing plants above. But what stole the scene was beautiful breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps. These majestic mountains turned the coastline and provide a stunning backdrop of dark water, dark blue Lake Como We have the impression that he had traveled in time. The owner - a man who appeared in his 80 years - has been very welcoming and could not have made us feel welcome. We Champaign, and toasted each other (and our environment unique) height with glasses, chilled. We sat in the appreciation and admiration of the spectacular scenery of the next two hours, finishing two bottles of champagne!
With the sun began to decline, returning to the Hotel Bellevue for a break, fabulous dinner. Then, to cap off the evening, which has carried over to Bellagio, the famous town, picturesque Italian resort. Narrow streets were lined with old shops, restaurants and churches. My advice? Bellagio not leave without visiting the stores and you will find some silk scarves and ties wonderful - no mention leather - throughout Italy.
There was little traffic on Bellagio. This fact makes it ideal for walking and taking the views of Bellagio is completely preserved and has the grace and charm of "old world to live." It was also clear that the residents loved Bellagio their gardens, and well maintained.
The vast region of Lake Como offers endless things to do for tourists. It is an ideal place for vacation with the family. For those who want to unwind, the peaceful countryside surrounding the lake is sure to please. Lake Como is also perfect for those seeking a more active vacation, swimming, waterskiing, sailing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and hope. Mountain Day Tour off companies are also a value. These trips offer the most breathtaking views of the lake and its surroundings.
Boat tours of Lake Como are a necessity. ferry service takes you to the local monuments and exquisite villas and towns by the lake (I recommend the picturesque town of Varenna.) Oh, but you can also opt for a ferry to nearby Switzerland. The Swiss city of Lugano offers department stores, but it is expensive, so put the credit cards.
If spectacular works of art, classical Italian gardens and an elegant period are your interests, I recommend a visit to the famous Villa Carlotta, located in the town of Tremezzo. With beautiful gardens, while the city is a must for lovers of antiques. The Duomo, known as the name of the Renaissance "Cathedral", is another spectacular sight. It is located in the center of the city of Como
shopping adventures await (And treasure) in one of the cities water, such as sweets. Taste regional produce such as olive oil, wine and cheese in shops along the lake, restaurants and cafes.
By the evening, enjoy a glass of wine in one of the local wine bars, and relax before dinner in one of the many memorable restaurants that the area has to offer. Most restaurants offer regional cuisine and modern. After dinner Enjoy an evening of music and dance in local clubs, most are open until dawn. Or, as my family and I take an evening stroll along the lake before retiring to read a good book.
Lake Como is great as anywhere else. It offers spectacular views, the parameters lush, tranquil, Italian architecture, elegant, charming disappeared, and the people friendly and welcoming. With her grace and charm intact Lake Como offers its customers the opportunity to experience the quiet life quiet, elegant and stunning beautiful. It is a place where being drawn again and again. Perhaps one day of sunshine in your heart, your dreams, invite you to the shores of Lake Como
