Casa Rina

The view of Lake Como from our villa is spectacular. The only thing between us and the water are trees full of singing birds. We are staying in the small village of Lagio.  The nearest bigger village is Como and we can walk 15 minutes to a good restaurant.  George Clooney’s place is 500 meters away but we haven’t seen it (or him).

Lake Como is shaped like a wishbone. Our part of the lake is the bottom of the left wishbone. Bellagio, Mellagio and Varenna are the bigger cities near the center of the lake.

Our travels were easy…we flew out of New Orleans at 1:05, arrived in Philadelphia at 4:30, flew out of Philadelphia at 6:40 and  arrived in Venice the next morning at about 8:35. Clay drove our Hertz rental Mercedes Vio to Lagio easily, but with some interesting twists ( we did visit Switzerland before arriving in Lagio!). We had an early dinner in the villa and we’re all in bed by 9.
