Italy Vacay: Part 2 - Lake Como

So here's part 2 of our trip, Lake Como!  Nate and I visited there 4 years ago before we moved back from Germany.  We absolutely fell in love with the beauty and charm of this place.  Lake Como is surrounded by the Swiss and Italian Alps, which makes for absolutely breath-taking views.  The only way to get around (without a car) is by ferry, so we spent a lot of time on the water going from town to town.  We stayed at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo again, which is far and away the best hotel we've ever stayed in.  It is top-notch beautiful, with amazing gardens, pools and views!

We made it!

Backyard pool, complete with an outdoor pizza parlor

The amazing gardens



Wine, wine & more wine

Not a bad view for breakfast & who's the hottie with the beard?!!


Even beautiful in the rain - Como that is!


Villa Carlotta - right next to our hotel 

The "real" Bellagio!




Ready for dinner - I think we'll have pasta!


George Clooney's place on the far left, on the water - unfortunately, no spottings :(
