Available Italian Villas - I Can Dream - So Can You!

let's go adventuring in Italy for a place to vacation... I've been to Venice, Florence, Rome and Lake Como. I especially loved Venice and the Lake Como area. Northern Italy is where my father's family is from and it's beautiful.

Yes, this villa is available to rent in Lake Como, Italy. Isn't it lovely? On my last trip to Italy, my three cousins and I stayed in apartments in Venice and Rome which was a great experience. We found it fun to walk around the shops, make our own coffee, pick up cheese and fresh bread, sit on the veranda and have a glass or two of wine. Our apartment in Rome was very close to the Vatican and we could take a quick cab to the shops and restaurants. Pizza was a fresh and crisp experience. Venice offered us the new taste of Gelato, not a one time experience! When we arrived in Lake Como we settled into a hotel nestled into the mountains overlooking the lake. In the afternoon we would walk up the cobbled paths to a little cafe and sit with the locals, relax have a drink or two and love life!
This is Lake Como...now you can see why I want to go back in the worst way!
So if you don't have an issue with the exchange rate, you're looking for a vacation with beauty, fabulous food, friendly people, art, scenery and so much more = Italy is the place to see.

If you'd like to check out villas that are available - they are out there! The highs, the lows and the unbelievables!  Jennifer

Lake Como, Italy - place of my ancestors

Lake Como -Italy

I've been here and
I dream often of going
back again. My cousin
and her daughter or
son are fortunate that
they can return every March. Four cousins took the trip one year and it
was so many special
moments for all of us.
We went to Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice and Lake Como. Strolled through markets, cobbled paths, drank wine, ate fresh bread and pasta,
saw the Vatican, museums, made new friends. I'd return in a heartbeat! It's a place I hope my sons see one day. To realize my father's family came from this country and to be able to see the church my great grandmother married in, church records of family members, cemeteries and simply the beauty of the country and it's people.
If there is a place you dream of going - don't miss your opportunity.
