A final tribute to a very beautiful place - Bellagio .
So lovely that you have to search your vocabulary for new ways to sing its praises.
What could be better than lunch in a delightful spot like this ?
Or a cruise along Lake Como drinking in a sight like this ?
where small villages cling to the shores.
Or a visit to the beautiful Villa del Balbianello ?
Looking at old stonework walls and staircases
Or just the view through flowers and trees
You can even cruise past George Clooney's villa and hope to catch a glimpse!
Perhaps contemplate renting Richard Branston's villa at 160 000 pounds a week ?
It's all here and plenty more
Farewell Beautiful Bellagio.
Cheers.
Wow, beautiful Bellagio will have to go on my list now... I hope one day I might get to tick some places off it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so lucky to be ticking some places off my list, Louise.
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful. It is as stunningly magnificent as everyone says it is.
ReplyDeleteYep !
DeleteYour first picture was especially evocative of the place and you seem to have visited Lake Como at a particularly nice time of year - so much fresh greenery. Looking forward to your next post already. Will it be Paris?
ReplyDeleteA bit sorry to have missed all the flowers YP. Wisteria everywhere. Would have been spectacular but the weather has been lovely - warm not hot. Paris it is. My favourite city. A lot of strolling and gazing and wonderful French food....oh and a bit of Monet if we're lucky.
DeleteFabulous - it will be hard to leave no doubt?
ReplyDeleteIt certainly has been lovely Jane. Very restful too as we have both been battling a virus for the whole trip !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful photos. We loved Villa del Balbianello, spent 2 hours there soaking it all in. As you say, you run out of words to describe how beautiful a place is. Your weather looks wonderful too.

Time in Paris now. Looking forward to it Anne.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why a rich person would feel compelled to rent out his villa? Maybe that's why he rich and I'm not.
ReplyDeleteCan't think why either Jan. I'd be hosting wonderful holiday parties with all my friends if it was my place and I had all that money.
DeleteWhat abeautiful place.We have been to Lake Garda but not Lake Como.What a wonderful trip you are having .Paris next.Hope you are going to Musee D'Orsay,one of my favourite galleries.
ReplyDeleteYes, very keen to see some Monets after visiting his garden last time.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on your travels Helen and I see you are finished your Italian leg and moved to Paris. Wow! So glad to see your iPad is getting such a great workout :). Safe travels.
