Como Lake in Italy! A precious gem

Como Lake 🇮🇹, who doesn’t know it? Well, I have to admit, being Italian and growing up in Rome, I have probably neglected the rest of my own country for many years. I too often travelled overseas looking for new adventures when lots of beauty is still here to be discovered. Well, Como Lake hit me back hard! It made me appreciate the Northern part of Italy that I often skipped 😅 It is beautiful 🤩 absolutely astonishing. No other words. Driving on those super narrow roads was fun, visiting Bellagio and its nice ‘salite’ (little alleys, often going up), the cafes (that we call ‘Bars’ in Italy), the restaurants and just the simple atmosphere was so serene, so calming. In brief, the so called ‘golden triangle’ of #bellagio , #varenna and #menaggio, is something anyone should do when visiting (you should take the ferry to visit the three towns). I got to see only the first two in this occasion. I like Bellagio a lot but I have to admit I may have found Varenna to be even a little prettier. The first few shots in this post are taken during my visit of villa monastero. The villa is wonderful and the entrance fee includes the botanic gardens and the villa museum. Really nice visit indeed. The lake itself is big and you can visit lots of other places. I also liked the little fisherman village of #pescallo close to Bellagio and the town of #lecco. Miserably I didn’t get the change to visit the city of #como this time but together with Menaggio, it will be my excuse to come back again and maybe this time take the ferry around instead of driving. Love you #lakecomo ❤️ bye for now 🫶🏻
