Lake Como

 Daniel and I returned to Lake Como this fall and loved our time there just as much as our first trip in 2008.                                                                                                           Lake Como is right at the top of Italy, close to the Switzerland border.

                   We never got tired of eating pizza and pasta.  Every meal was such a treat.

       We loved feeling like we were exploring the lake on our own and not in the midst of mass tourists.

We rented an old Fisherman's Cottage right on the lake.  Two bedrooms, one bath, kitchen and living room for 870 euros a week.  We split this price with our friends Kip and Annette.

Here is the blog for our cottage if you are interested.  And I also recommend looking on homelidays.com, click to have the language switched to english. 

It was so nice to pop across the street, practice our Italian and grab some groceries for breakfast each day.  That's the luxury of renting an apartment instead of a hotel, plus being able to hang out at night without having to sit on our beds.  And it ended up being 62 euros a night per couple.  Think about it.  You would love it.
