from my archives: Lago di Como #Italy

One of my favorite spots in Como: the public gardens behind the Tempio Voltiano. (Fun fact: I went to high school in Como).

And completely unrelated, but profuse apologies if you left me a comment on my previous photo and I didn't reply. I'm self-hosting this Pixelfed instance and I have some problems with federation / notifications coming through

Anyway, LOVING this space and this community

#LakeComo

from my archives: Villa Monastero in Varenna, Italy

This is one of my favorite places in the whole world: #VillaMonastero in Varenna. It's on #LakeComo, on the Lecco side – a short boat ride from Bellagio.

The gardens and structures are impossibly beautiful - and yet this town is mostly overlooked in favor of Bellagio. I love this place so much that the day after my wedding I organized a trip here with friends and family. We would have gotten married here, too, if it wasn't for all the restrictions / limited space. All this to say: if you plan to visit Lake Como, make sure to stop in Varenna (boat stop after Bellagio) and in Lenno (boat stop before Bellagio). They are hidden gems!
