Bellagio
We flew from Paris to Milan, then we were picked up by a driver at the airport who drove us to Hotel du Lac in Bellagio - it was money well spent rather than taking a train and a ferry after the airport. The road was so narrow as we traveled along the lakeside we were happy we weren't driving it either!
Beautiful spot, and a great hotel.
Roof top lounge at our hotel had amazing views.
Ferries travel consistently back and forth between the little towns on Lake Como.
Ted had the best brushetta at this place; all others of the trip have to measure up to it...
And after three nights visiting Bellagio, Varenna and a couple of other lakeside towns by ferry it was time to take the train to Venice.
