Tuscany to Lake Como

Our last couple of days in Tuscany were spent trying to avoid the heat, wandering through beautiful towns and villages, eating the local food and drinking the local wine. Generally this has been what we have done the whole trip.
We headed south to Sienna, Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza. 




On Sunday, we packed up from our lovely Tuscan villa, headed north to Lake Como, and our hotel in Cadenabbia, about 30k up the lake from Como. We have a wonderful view from our window.


On Monday we woke to clouds and a very wet and stormy day. We caught the ferry to Como, walked up a very steep hill, to a great view of the lake and Como.



Back in our local village we found a bar that Clare instantly loved.

  1. Cheers to the red and the white then huh? (pun intended!)
    Gorgeous pics - I think Siena was my favourite Italian town when I traveled all those years ago, but I didn't even scratch the surface. Can't wait to go back . . . . some day . . . . xx
