SEPTEMBER 2015 : ITALY : Menaggio, Lake Como

                                

Our final week and we have booked a hotel in Menaggio on Lake Como, an hour north of Milan, by the very efficient train.

      

View of the Alps as we travel north from Milan on the train.

                                      

Arriving in the main town of Como we quickly bought tickets for the large ferry, which left immediately for its 3 hour journey up the lake. 

                                        

A clear day which really showcased all the towns and villages on both sides of the lake.



Impressive villas open to the public.



Menaggio. 203m.  3,000 inhabitants. Church of Saint Carlo towering over the town.


                                    

Our hotel is in the main square. Hotel Garni Corona.


                                        

View from our room.
         
        

More expanded view across the lake to Bellano.

             
       

Promenade by the lake.

                                     

Small but promising shopping precinct.

     

Street plan of Menaggio. We are looking forward to exploring the town and some of the neighbouring villages across the lake in the next few days.


Dinner at restaurant outside our hotel in the square.


Lights on the lake.
