      Varenna et Villa Monastero

      19 de agosto de 2023, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      Aujourd'hui, départ en bateau pour Varenna. Magnifique ville avec une vue impressionnante sur le lac de Côme. Visite de villa monastero, un jardin botanique splendide donnant directement sur le lac.
      Repas tranquille en amoureux face au lac dans un super hôtel pendant qu'Auguste s'est endormi dans sa poussette, suivi d'une glace home made succulente.
      Nous nous posons sur une plage aux cailloux au bord du lac plus qu'agréable. Disons que la baignade n'est pas de trop sous 36 degrés !Auguste semble plus qu'apprécier ces vacances comme d'habitude!      Leia mais

      Day trip to Bellagio and Varenna

      27 de junho de 2019, Itália ⋅ ⛅ 36 °C

      Today we took the ferry on Lake Como to Bellagio and then on to Varenna. The forecast temperature for today was 38 deg with a ‘feels like’ temp of 43, so we decided to stay by the water for the entire day, enjoying a swim in a couple of different locations. We survived the heat pretty well but it was incredibly hot and humid away from the cool waters of the lake.Leia mais

      Day 4 Varenna

      16 de novembro de 2017, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

      Varenna is an hour's journey by train from Milan through picturesque countryside. It is a quaint little town on Lake Como.
      We were met by the warmest Nona called Tosca at Tosca b&b then had a romantic lunch alfresco at the Varenna Cafe. The scenery is breathtaking.
      We then hiked up to the Castello to work off the lunch.

      Musings on Milan

      Many have commented, even criticised Milan for being plain, drab or even dull. Although seen to be the glamour capital of Italy, the actual city has often paled to Florence, Venice and Rome.

      When we arrived in Milan, our first stop in Italy, we were wary from the warnings of a dirty, boring, plain, drab city where people are arrogant and discourteous. What we experienced was the exact opposite. There was an abundance of graffiti, but the paths were clean. Despite the many dogs, there was a delightful lack of their poops. The buildings around Sant Ambrogio where our accommodation had plain facades, but many hid beautiful gardens, like 7 Via Cappuccio. The churches may seem non descript and boring on the exterior, but hid frescoes and art that would stand proud in any major gallery. The guide from our walking tour told us that Milan is a great example of never judging a book by it's cover. To see Milan, one needs curiosity to peer behind the drab walls, have the imagination to picture the treasurers behind a heavily graffitied building, and smile at the people around.

      The people of Milan are gracious and kind and warm. The waiters happily indulge our questions and translate the menu, the doorman happily led us into a private garden and left us to enjoy it for as long as we wanted. People waited by patiently whilst I took a photo before continuing on their journey, and noone growled at me for bumping into them when not keeping right, or just walking and looking at everything else but where I'm going. For all their indulgence of an awestruck and clumsy traveller, for all their hidden beauty and treasures, and for the wondrous Duomo that drips upside down, we say that Milan is marvelous. Thank you Marvelous Milan.      Leia mais

      Jaw Dropper in Varenna Italy

      1 de setembro de 2022, Itália ⋅ 🌧 63 °F

      What? Mountains and lakes combo?! Only in Italy. Tricia has just crossed 100x zone for saying wow! The drive from Verona to Lake Como was like any other major hwy. Not until last 15 minutes could we get a good view of Lake Como...even then not the best. Then after at least three wrong turns...we made it. At one point, there literally was three different exits for Bergamo, Italy on a roundabout and Google maps was lagging, we, of course guessed wrong! Once we arrived, our locally raised Airbnb host, petite Alessandra, greeted us w efficiency of a German and panache of an Italian. Follow me, log in here, go there to park..boom...boom like machine gun. When her husband called. Her first words were Pronto, pronto w questions regarding the two week old gelato shop they just opened called Bon Bon.

      Our first task, was laundry. lol. I scored some Peroni and a fruiti bianco wine and we settled in. Then pizza for each of us the size of a car tire and we are done. Big rain came and the town deserted w everyone scurrying to a dry locale. We really can't believe we are here?!! Day two will bring a visit to the villa where the James Bond film Casino Royale had a scene sequence, then a visit to Bellagio and dinner by the water front. ;) Ciao!

      Go Gophers!

      Added a photo from Verona. Our house/hotel was located just across the bridge on bottom of photo.      Leia mais

      Varenna

      8 de setembro de 2022, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Heute besuche ich den nächsten der großen oberitalienischen Seen, den Lago di Como. An seinem Ostufer liegt das hübsche Dorf Varenna, dem ich bereits auf den ersten Blick verfallen bin.
      Ein schöner Uferweg führt mich entlang des türkisen Wassers und eröffnet schließlich einen zauberhaften Blick auf die leuchtend bunte Altstadt. Mit dem ersten echt italienischen Eis in der Hand lasse ich mich durch die engen, kiesgepflasterten Gassen treiben und bade im warmen Farbenspiel der Fassaden.
      Einige Kilometer nördlich finde ich bei Piona einen Stellplatz mit schönem Blick auf den See. Am nächsten Morgen besuche ich das wenige Schritte entfernte Kloster und gehe auf dem Rückweg noch eine Runde schwimmen.      Leia mais

      Dinner Ristorante Il Caminetto, Gittana

      16 de novembro de 2017, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

      Morena, the chef owner of Ristorante Il Caminetto is the 8th (and last) generation in an unbroken line of chefs. "When we were second generation cooking, Captain Cook just thinking of going to Australia" was the history he told us on the drive from Varenna to Gitanna. As the restaurant in Gitanna de Perledo is a 10 minutes drive up the mountain, free transfer from Varenna is offered.

      On arrival, we were settled in front of an open fireplace whilst more wood was fed into the slow combustion heater at the other corner of the room. We were the only guests in the restaurant that evening, and the restaurant was set as it would be for a full night. A board of 3 scoops - pate, gorgonzola blue, and ham spread, was complementary "for your waiting" smiled Moreno. Accompanied it was char grilled bread, smokey but not toasted dry. As we could not decide on hors d'oeuvre, we had a serve of the Complete Assortment to share. What a generous portion it was, with a large board of cold cut prosciutto, salami, coppa, and another like speck. There were also other small dishes of warm bacon with oregan, and the flavoursome Lombardy lard served on warm buckwheat toast. For mains we had lake fish, grilled with a crunchy crumbed top, and veal with Lombardy sauce. Both dishes cooked without any fuss, but the flavours and textures were sublime. As we were so full, dessert was a shared lemon and mint sorbet. Of course, house made. The complimentary limoncello at the end was a burst of bitter lemon, a completely different lemon experience to the sorbet.

      Dinner was such a wonderful experience, we're booked to return tonight.      Leia mais

      Milano Milano

      4 de setembro de 2022, Itália ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

      Just a quick post before bed 💤 … spent much of today, Saturday, in Milan. Took the train there from our flat in Varenna. Lots of people and an entirely different vibe from the slow lake life towns of Lake Como. Crazy that the two of the most famous sites-the Duomo Milano and Leonardo’s Last supper- are placed here in this big city. We are grateful and humbled to have seen these!
      After returning from Milan we spent time on the shore of Lake Como for a beautiful evening and a swim in the lake (All Steve not me)!      Leia mais

      The Most Wonderful Place

      4 de setembro de 2022, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

      A day in Milan and final evening in Varenna and now we are off to CT. We are like...a whole another week? How can we possibly top the trip. ;) Tricia has had two overwhelming moments. One we climbed out of the Subway and found ourselves smack dab in the middle of Marienplatz plaza in the heart of Munich. The other was the Duomo in Milan. We took an electric scooter from the train station to the Duomo and we double up on it. So I'm not sure she couldn't believe she was actually at the Duomo or just survived a 🛴 in Milano. I'm thinking the former. ;) Off to CT!! Basketball tourney across from Duomo. See pics. lolLeia mais

      Varenna, Lake Como

      27 de setembro de 2022, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

      Varenna is a picturesque and traditional village located on the eastern shore of Lake Como, and is the last stop on the ferry before it starts its return journey to Como. We had admired it from the ferry last time we were here and were eager to hop off and explore this time.

      After a wander along the waters edge we joined one of the many queues for the lovely lakeside restaurants and managed to get a table at the one with the best view, Bar il Molo. Amazing food and an amazing view. It was worth the wait. What I also loved was the holiday vibe. Everyone was happy and relaxed and some of the dinners were very entertaining. The perfect Italian lakeside day.      Leia mais
