Lake Como has wonderful towns that you can visit by hopping on and off the ferry. We stayed at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo which is in the town of Tremezzo on the lake – the hotel building is 107 years old with old historic charm and modern amenities with one pool in the lake itself. The property is gorgeous with 3 other pools, one inside and 2 more in the gardens in the back of the hotel. The terrace overlooking the lake is a great setting to start your morning, as you sip on a cappuccino while having breakfast. We drove here from the Barolo wine region and drove back to Milan for one day of shopping before heading back to New York. Arrivederci to Italy until the next time!
