Exploring Lake Como - James Bond style
In October, we took some visitors to Lake Como for an overnight stay.
We booked into a simple yet charming and elegant hotel with breath-taking views of the Lake.
We managed to catch the last of the afternoon sunshine from the hotel’s private sun deck before enjoying Aperitivo in the busy bar and then dinner in the hotel’s fantastic restaurant over-looking the water. The Impepata di Cozze – steamed mussels in hot pepper sauce - were the best I have ever had.
We couldn’t resist hiring a boat for an hour on Sunday morning – just enough time to head across to Comacino island & Lenno, cruise past one of Branson’s pads, Villa del Balbianello (famed for scenes from Star Wars and Casino Royale), Villa Carlotta and then across to beautiful Bellagio …..such a fantastic experience.
