As I mentioned, Lake Como was awash with beautiful lake front villas. In Bellagio car rental munich germany there are two villas that have opened their gardens to the public. On our second day in Bellagio, we decided to stay in town and visit one of the them, Villa Melzi. Villa Melzi was owned by the Vice President of the Italian Republic under Napoleon.
The main house is closed, as it is a private residence, but visitors can still roam the stunning gardens, plus visit a small museum and chapel. The azaleas were finishing up when we were there in early June, but the gardens were still ablaze with all kinds of color and a beautiful variety of gorgeous trees. This is a painting I just completed of a gazebo car rental munich germany in the gardens that sits right at the edge of the lake. It measures 24 high by 20 wide.
Your painting is lovely. Are you selling this painting? I am planning car rental munich germany a trip to Italy in October. My plane flies into Milan and it was recommended that I go to Bellagio to rest up from the jet lag. What was your overall impression compared to other areas of Italy and did you find it to be very expensive? Do you have any places to stay that you would recommend? car rental munich germany Rick Wilkes forwarded this blog to me.
Thank you for commenting on my Blog and my painting! The painting is called La Bella Cupola, and it is 24 x20 . The price for the painting with a gallery frame is $1450.00. I will email you with more information about that.
As for Bellagio, it is strikingly beautiful! How long were you planning to stay there? If only a day or two, I will say that there is not a terribly direct way to get to Bellagio using public transportation. You have to either go by bus/ferry or train/ferry with connections. But if you will have a car, it is only about 45 min. to an hour from Milano.
We stayed in a great Hotel called the Hotel Belvedere car rental munich germany . I can highly recommend it clean, professional and helpful service, and spectacular views if you get a room with a balcony or terrace. Lake Como in general is a vacation spot and can be somewhat pricey as compared to somewhere in the countryside, especially if you want a room with a view. But it is probably in line with many other touristy spots like Florence, Rome, Venice, Amalfi, etc. Unfortunately with the weak dollar any place in the European Union is going to be pricier than it was in years past. But you have the advantage of going in October, which may be past peak season, so prices may be somewhat better in terms of hotels. We didn t find meals to be terribly expensive, but it really depends on where you eat. In Bellagio we loved the restaurant Bilacus. Yum Yum!! La Punta is another good place, and it is right on the water.
If Belvedere is full you might try Hotel Florence. This hotel is right on the main waterfront. It has a nice cafe for lunch, but it might be somewhat noisier as it is near the ferries. However the ferries stop running around 10 or so, so it may not be an issue. Hotel Belvedere on the other hand is up at the top of the hill at the edge of the small town. We loved this location! Quiet and peaceful, and did I mention the views?! Hotel du Lac is nice from what I ve heard. It is in the village of Varenna (also beautiful and on a train line coming in from Milan). Albergo Milano, also in Varenna is another one we considered.
