On a vacation like this I like to see as much as I can. We did a lot of walking and a lot of driving. So, at the end of the trip it is nice to relax so you don't feel exhausted when you get home. In Italy my favorite place to end a trip is at Lake Como.
Lake Como is not far from Milan which makes it easy to get to the airport. It is also one of the most beautiful places in Italy with the lake and alps side by side. The lake is in the shape of a "Y" and is huge. You can drive around the lake or tour by boat. I like to stay in a town called Malgrate which is at the end of one of the short legs of the "Y". The reason why I like Malgrate is that it is right on the water facing the lake with the city of Lecco on the other side and the alps beyond that. It makes for a beautiful view. In the morning you can watch the wind surfers and kite surfing as you walk along the water. Later in the morning you can go into Lecco for shopping, dining and siteseeing.
We stayed at the Hotel Villa Giulia, Valmadrera which is right on the water with incredible views. More on the hotel later as well as details on what to see and do in the area..
After three days at the lake we were relaxed and ready for the flight home.
