Como’s tranquil atmosphere and captivating scenery left a lasting impression.

#hospitality #100waysoftravel #italytrip #como #accomodation #lakecomo Our stay at a charming B&B Convento S. Antonio in Como left us with fond memories, thanks to its warm hospitality and unique setting. The B&B is housed in a stunning 17th-century monastery, with beautifully preserved wall and ceiling sculptures that left us in awe. We adored our cozy loft-style room, which added to the experience. The owner was incredibly helpful and full of humor—when we realized Italy uses different plugs from other European countries, he kindly lent us adaptors from his kitchen. He even provided a detailed map, marked with recommended restaurants and must-see attractions. Breakfast was a highlight, served buffet-style at a large communal table, and we were lucky to visit during peach season, enjoying a variety of sweet and juicy peaches.

We fell in love with this Y-shaped lake of glacial origin since our first trip here years ago. Since then, it has been our annual holiday destination. We would fly in to Bergamo Airport, and then take the Italian regional train northwards to Como. It is a huge lake and you can choose between different towns to set up your base. You can decide on either Bellagio, Varenna or Menaggio. Each has its own allure that will charm and fascinate you differently. Then, the most enjoyable thing would be to just walk along the water, hop on the boat or even jump for a swim in the lake. Of course, please check the water temperature first! #bucketlistreboot #passionpassport #lakes #la

#外游 The most classic way to visit Lake Como is to take a cruise and visit the towns in the middle of Lake Como such as Varenna, Bellagio and Menaggio... Departing from Menaggio, the first stop is Varenna, which takes about 15 minutes. After getting off the boat, I walked along the road and saw flowers everywhere~ Against the backdrop of the colorful flowers, this place is really beautiful💛 There are also many restaurants in the town facing the lake for enjoying lunch. Dining here while looking at the beautiful scenery adds a lot of romance! There are also many specialty shops~it’s great to browse around! If you go south, there is a very famous botanical garden, Villa Monastero. It is filled with all kinds of flowers and has an endless view of the lake. It is a very suitable place for taking pictures. #ItalyTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

While on holiday to Milan, I took a day trip to Lake Como. It only took 45mins by train from Milan Centrale to Varenna Station and the return trip was only 13 euros. There are many different towns within Lake Como, and I visited 2 towns - Varenna and Bellagio. To get within the towns, you can take a ferry that arrives every 30 minutes and is 4.60 euros per trip. I would definitely recommend heading to Bellagio. Also called the Pearl of Lake Como, Bellagio is the perfect mix of photogenic streets, small shops, wonderful restaurants, and gorgeous views across Lake Como. The town of Bellagio sits at the tip of the promontory known as the Triangolo Lariano.

There are few places as romantic as Lake Como, and even fewer lakeside towns as charming as Bellagio. Called "the Pearl of Lake Como", Bellagio is a perfect destination for a relaxing vacation with pizzazz and enchanting panoramas. Bellagio is situated in a picturesque position on Lake Como, on the tip of the promontory which juts into the lake and separates it into two branches, with Como to the west and Lecco to the east. The town has always had an aristocratic dignity, and has drawn respite seekers for centuries. It has an elegant air yet with the water sports and mountain activities, is not a stuffy place, either. The most ancient part of Bellagio occupies that area at the end of the promontory and is known as 'the Borgo'. It is a pretty combination of stairways lined with colorful shops with the finest quality merchandise and excellent restaurants, little piazzas and sidewalk cafes. Numerous little characteristic hamlets are scattered both along the lake and the hilly slopes above the Borgo, and there are walking paths connecting them. Arcades with shops below, flower boxes, decorative iron balconies and cobbled lanes make for an attractive atmosphere. Bellagio retains Old World appeal. Because it has been a getaway for wealthy dignitaries, there are many villas around the town, some with spectacular gardens. Don't miss Villa Melzi's garden with scultpures and the park of Villa Serbelloni. A scenic spot you'll want to visit is Punt Spartivento, literally "divide the wind" where the promontory comes to a point in the lake. Stop for a drink in the warm wood-laid historic Caffe Rossi, which retains the fittings and charm of a by-gone age, with tables under the arcade. The Museum of Navigational Instruments is an interesting stop, and there are plenty of water sports, boat trips and hikes in the hills to enjoy, too. A tourist train lets you see a bit further afield, or you can catch a ferry to Varenna for a day. #mynovgetaway #thanksgiving #mynovgetaway#thanksgiving

Traveling in Milan, I suddenly remembered Lake Como. Take a double-decker train, 50 kilometers away, it takes an hour to arrive. This ice lake located under the Alps is a famous resort in Milan with a lake length of 31 kilometers and a width of 5 kilometers. Lakeside yachts such as forests, surrounded by mountains on three sides, mostly cliffs, scattered villas, churches, stone red brick buildings, red top towers, blue sky, pigeons flying freely. It is said that most of the upper Europeans have private holiday villas in Lake Como. We walked out of the old train station and walked along the lakeside park, looking out over the lake for cruises. There are three people in the park who are squatting on the sorghum, and they are entertaining themselves and win the applause of the onlookers. Also, don't forget to buy a cup of delicious ice cream at a roadside shop, people on the open-air cafe, almost one hand: that is the standard for Italian travel. Come Lake is also the location of the movie "Star Wars", the famous director Lucas will sequel to the clone attack, the scene where Skywalker Anakin and Amidala fell in love at first sight. The beautiful lakes and mountains make the audience a wonderland. We look at the towering hilltops of the lake and there are cable cars that carry tourists up the hill along steep hillsides. Looking along the lakeshore to the hillside, a slate path extends upwards. There are various specialty shops on both sides of the road. Cafes, restaurants, hotels, and craft shops are under the sparkling reflections, such as dreamlike beauty. Twilight is approaching, and then take the train back to Milan, the beauty of Lake Como, always feels unfinished.

This charming location exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, brimming with positive energy that makes you feel right at home.
