While we are living in Europe, we are going to try to get away one weekend a month to explore the incredible places within reach. We started close to home this weekend and caught the fast (hydrofoil) ferry to Bellagio. When you look at a map or aerial view of Lake Como, it can resemble a man with the torso being the north section and his two legs being the Como branch and the Lecco branch. Bellagio sits right where the two legs come together and has a beautiful view north toward the beginning of the Alps. We had booked a room in an old elegant hotel that hangs off the hillside overlooking the Lecco branch. It was a short walk to the town center but we spent most of the weekend enjoying the beautiful pool and grounds. Meals were included and formally served so it was a wonderful treat. We got up early on Sunday and hiked on the old stone trails that criss-cross the area before returning for breakfast and a relaxing morning by the pool.
