Italy – more Lake Como

August 13, 2025

Thursday was maybe my favorite day of the trip! We started with breakfast by the lake…

and then took a full day boat tour of Lake Como! Our tour guide was so nice and informative. He showed us all the sights of the lake – including Clooney’s house! – and it could not have been better.

We stopped and walked around the Villa Del Balbianello which is where they filmed some of the Star Wars films as well as some James Bond scenes! It was beyond beautiful!

We returned around 4:00 and the kids couldn’t wait to swim and jump in the lake!

Dinner was good and all I got from it were pics like this from the kids…

It was nice to walk to and from the restaurant and then walk around the hotel a bit that night.

I think we could all get used to that Villa D’Este life!
