Venerdi - una splendida giornata sul Lago di Como

This is a bit of a challenge.........as it is now almost three weeks since we spent this wonderful day on Lago di Como!  We were able to put up a separate post for the spectacular visit to Villa del Balbianello, but never got into other details about the balance of lake tour.  This is an attempt to backfill!

It is also a chance to show more of our hotel, the Relais Villa Vittoria.  It was a fantastic place to spend our last two nights.  Below are two maps which locate the hotel.  The town is Laglio, on the western side of the lake. 


Breakfast on the terrace
Andi found a great little subterranean connection through a tunnel to this walkway.......off the main drag in Laglio
a small piazza after walking along the narrow path at the edge of the lake
a protected hang out for a family of ducks!
around this bend is George Clooney's pad......can see the dock
the view from the lobby of the hotel out onto the terrace
a wonderfully picturesque church out on a point in the town of Brienno, just north of Laglio
view from Brienno looking south across lake
last fuel stop for Lucy Lancia!
Lunch in Lenno.....Pasticceria Bar Sport
harbor in Lenno
our terrace at Relais Villa Vittoria
the view.......
wonderfully private......
two-story room......living room below, bedroom and bath upstairs
looking too serious!
the pool was calling!
the boat dock at RVV
Andrea's favorite lake town
colder than we thought!
but fantastic once you were in!
Prosecco has become an afternoon tradition!
our last night approaches!  bittersweet but exhilarating......still not quite real.
