I've been traveling to Italy for 21 years now, and while I’ve been on her many lakes I’ve somehow managed to miss Lake Como along the way. So just as the season was winding down end of October, I decided to pay this area a visit. It was quiet, cool temperatures, no crowded roads or squares, yet with local buzz in her restaurants. More & more end of season is becoming my season, all across the world. | Where to Stay: unequivocally it’s Passalacqua.
