Gravedona

Gravedona…
A Unique Medieval Experience

In Gravedona, one is quickly haunted by ghosts of the past with a town that has retained its medieval urban plan and a creepy church dating from the 12th century.

Gravedona may not be too far from Domaso, Lake Como’s windsurfing capital but the feel of the town is world’s apart. Even the residential houses tend to keep an ancient look about them, transporting tourists several hundred years back in time.

For others, however, Gravedona may seem like a more convenient base to get their watersports needs met than Domaso. After all, it has one of the most beautiful lakeside promenades found anywhere on the lake, great bicycle paths, sandy beaches, public tennis courts and a variety of sailing centers.

Motorboat Rental Como

My Story Of a Motorboat Rental
Como, Italy

Let me share with you my experiences of getting a motorboat rental in Como, Italy. There’s a bit of humor, embarrassment, fear, pride and everything in between. Just to clear up…there are no motorboat rentals in the town of Como itself, we rented this cool boat from one of the northern towns.

First off, to begin amateurs like myself are only allowed to rent 40hp boats without a license which are the numbers any long-time boat operators would laugh at. “OMG, that is sloooow!” they say. Second, this was my very first time ever renting a boat let alone driving one.

Argegno

Argegno…
A Quiet Little Gem Hidden on the Lake

Although locals may consider Argegno a sleepy town, it is in fact a popular tourist destination.

It’s secluded location, backed by a tall-rising, majestic mountain offers superb views of Lake Como and an incredibly picturesque town. Some tourists, choose Argegno only as a passing-by town to get to ski-lifts and mountain trails nearby, or as a lunch stop for those enjoying the slow ferry ride up and down the lake.

Como Luxury

Planning A Lake Como Luxury Vacation

Plan Your Own Lake Como Luxury Vacations And Save A Bundle

Italian lake holidays have always been renowned for their solitude and peace and Lake Como has been a well-known retreat for some of Italy’s wealthiest citizens since the 19th century. Nobility, famous actors, writers, business men and women have purchased or built villas/homes here in order to escape the dense crowds of major cities.

However, quiet and solitude can come at a hefty price, especially when a travel agent does all the planning for you. Luxury trips usually mean luxury mark-up prices and commissions.

Bellano Italy

Bellano…
Thriving Tourism in Lake Como Italy

Bellano is a small town on the eastern shore of this Italy lake that has always stimulated our curiosity.

We passed by it many times by train while commuting between various towns on the Eastern shores of the lake. Just before reaching the train station traveling from the north, you may notice the Orrido di Bellano – an amazing gorge with streams of running water right after the train exits the tunnel. More on that in a second…

The town is not nearly as heavily touristed as nearby Varenna. But you may catch the occasional tourist who was sent here due to all the hotels in Varenna being overbooked! And what a feast it was to finally take the time and visit this beautiful town…

Bellano Italy is a really pleasant town in the middle of the Como lake. Just another one of the many pearls in Lake Como and among the most wonderful spots to visit in northern Italy! Bellano is positioned very close to Bellagio, so you will be able to benefit from the tranquillity of a smaller town, while still be within strolling distance of most necessary services.

The town isn’t crazily touristed as near-by Varenna or Bellagio. However, you could get the casual tourist who had been sent here, when all of the resorts in Varenna or Bellagio are sold-out! And that is not always bad news, as you could have an extraordinary stay in this town.

You will immediately notice some lovely, elaborate houses right on the lake and also a good ship-dock with a lengthy promenade. When your boat approaches the tranquil coastline of Bellano, take note of the many interesting, tall trees. You’ll also have no troubles locating a quiet seat beneath the trees that supply you with a splendid panoramic view of the western shorelines of the lake. The shade is an added bonus throughout the summertime!

Visit Tremezzo Italy

Tremezzo Italy is a very small town with a population of just under 1500 people.

Yet, it holds some of Lake Como’s most precious villas including the Villa Carlotta with its lovely gardens and collection of sculptures and a classy 5-star Grand Hotel. In fact, the town is so small that you can cover its entirety by foot in a couple of minutes, walking down its lakeside promenade.

Tremezzo’s highlight is the Villa Carlotta, constructed throughout a fifty year span, beginning near the finish of the 17Th Century. The property grounds are truly stunning, containing over 150 types of rhododendrons and azaleas. Its artwork museum is devoted chiefly to neoclassical artwork and other sculptural masterpieces. To cover slightly different ground, do take the time to also visit the nearby Museum of Agricultural Resources found within an historical greenhouse around the home.
