Italy – Lake Como

On Wednesday we got up and said goodbye to Florence…

Just adding this because I want to remember how pretty it was!

We had a driver take us to our next destination! We did make a pit stop at Ristorante La Rochetta for a wonderful – and very HOT – lunch!

Please enjoy this panoramic photo Maxwell took. ha!

We then hopped back in the van and I thought I was going to die it was so hot but the payoff was worth it when we finally arrived at Villa d’Este in Lake Como!! This stop was really the impetus of the entire trip. GJ and I had been to Villa d’Este many years ago and always wanted to return. I am happy to report that it lived up to my memories and then some! Our room was so nice and big!

We explored the grounds…

and took 1k photos…well, I made GJ take 1k photos of us to try and get some that made me happy. I can be difficult to please with photos…grateful for family members that put up with me.

The entire hotel is just a dream!

We dressed for dinner that night at Terzo Crotto at the resort…

and took even more photos!

Dinner was fantastic with perfect views of the lake…and the biggest mosquitos you’ve ever seen.

That night there was even a fireworks show that we could see from our room!

Perfecto indeed!

Lots more Como to come!
