Lake Como Hotel Selections

Finding hotels that are clean, safe, near cafes and affordable is tough.  This year is different than other years. People are travelling in BIG numbers again and the summer travel has most of the great and/or affordable places reserved. The selection was slim but I think these will work.  

I'm a fan of boutique type hotels with character and charm but my first priority is to be walking distance to the cafes and such.  There is nothing worse than being 2 miles away from the center and no car. I also enjoy a nice view.  

This one is a bit grand but the price was right and it is in a great area, or so it seems.  You never really know until you get there.  European establishments have no problem with twisting things a bit and then  having no issues when you bring it to their attention. But that is only one small downside to travelling to new and exciting places. 

It's Time to Visit Lake Como!

I love coming home after a long trip. I slide into my crispy sheets that cover the mattress that is perfect for me. Unlike the many I experience in my travels. I snuggle down and dream of my most recent excursions.  I love sitting at my home and soaking in the familiar things that my life has collected.  Then it hits me. It is time to go again!  I just secured flights to Milan where I will stay a night and then head to Lake Como and spend a little time in Varenna, Bellagio and a few other villages. 

I might get over to other lakes but the focus is Lake Como.  I have been wanting to go for years and I finally pulled the trigger.  The flights are booked and now it's time to go on the arduous hunt for hotels. 

I'll then work my way to the South of England and go to the yearly car show and Swing Festival. I think I'm in heaven when I can be around the old cars and watch the couples swing dance the night away.  Always good fun! More details to follow.
