We have just come back from lake como. We stayed at the lovely Italian house Villa Patricia which is very well equipped and has a beautiful view of the lake, really stunning, lovely to sit on the balcony and eat and admire the view of lake como.
The local village has two lovely restaurants which has a large menu catering for all. One restaurant is on the main road and the second beside the lake both serving good food.
We used the local transport which is very reasonable and you buy the tickets at the local bar, everybody is very friendly and helpful there are local shops, supermarket, bar, grocers etc. You can either catch the bus to Como the main town or ferry. Como is for keen shoppers with some lovely shops or you can relax at the local towns and watch the world go by. We visited menaggio where we caught a ferry to Verenna and Bellagio, both beautiful. Here you can watch the world go by while eating lovely Italian ice cream which is a must.
This is far the prettiest place we have visited and we have been to many countries, we will definitely return to Villa Patricia again next year.
