Como City Old Town – Day 14
After a full day exploring the beauty of Bellagio and Varenna by ferry, we made a quick stop in downtown Como the next day, tired, chilly, and caught in the rain. At first glance, it didn’t leave much of an impression, and we didn’t stay long. What we didn’t realize at the time was that we had barely scratched the surface. Como had so much more to offer, and we nearly missed it. The next day, we walked past the waterfront area in search of the Cathedral. The closer we got, the… Read More
Varenna – Day 13 Part 3
After the gorgeous town of Bellagio, we decided to visit the traditional and equally picturesque village of Varenna, an easy ferry ride away! I am so happy we did this on a rainy day. We returned four days later when the sun was shining and we could barely move, it was that crowded! But I’ll save that story for another day. While in Varenna, we wandered through the streets and found one of the best gelaterias! I don’t think I took a photo of it this time around, but may have one… Read More
Bellagio – Day 13 Part 2
Day 13 Continued: We ended up seeing so much on this day, I will have multiple posts to share! On this specific morning, it was raining off and on.

I have to admit that initially we were a bit disappointed with the rain until we arrived into Bellagio and realized how much less crowded the ferries and… Read More

While we have been to Italy many times before, we have never had the opportunity to travel to and explore Lake Como. For some reason, this particular destination… Read More
Hotel Villa Flori – Lake Como
Our home away from home in Lake Como. The Hotel Villa Flori is a 4-star boutique style resort that was converted from a 19th century villa. It is beautifully located lakeside, about an 8-10 minute drive from Como. It is one of many different accommodation options in the Lake Como area. It’s important that you make the right choice in terms of lodging, as this resort is a great fit for some, but not for others. This smaller converted hotel has four floors, a restaurant, and is in a great location if… Read More
