One boat trip around Lake Como and you’ll fully understand why Hollywood movie star George Clooney has set up a summer residence in the village of Laglio – the scenery and villages truly are bellissima.

The Italy Edit: In Praise of Street Artists
Sure Northern Italy’s got The Uffizi, La Scala and the Arena di Verona but if you want to see TRUE living, breathing art and theatre, look no further than the artists who perform daily in the sweltering open-air heat of the cities. These creative souls definitely deserve more than a…

A Very International Christmas Tree
The Travel Edits Christmas tree is not colour coordinated. It does not showcase a perfect display of tiered bows. Or strategically placed baubles. Or vertically strung lights. It is more interesting than that. The Travel Edits tree is a jumble of bells, cones, cats, gingerbread men, angels and even eggs. There…
Hi Fiona,
Came to your nice review of Lake Como by way of Pola’s website Jetting Around.
This is a beautiful photo essay of this gorgeous area of Italy — and I agree about its allure. Lake Como has an unmistakable vibe. I was last there in ’03 and fell under the spell!
Thanks for sharing.

PS: Glad to meet you. I look forward to hearing more from you. I just followed you on Twitter as well.
Amazing pictures. I pretty much want to decorate my house with the same Lake Como theme. That market will have to be a stop when we visit in the future.
Awww! So true – you could spend hours alone just checking out all the vintage designer handbags!
Wow! I’ve never been to the lake district in northern Italy… someday… Very evocative post!
I am GREEN with envy. Oh, how I want to visit this place. And the market? I’m a sucker for a good market.
Yes – managed to restrain myself aomehow – had just come from Milan – a very dangerous city if you like your shopping!
Great pics…I love the one of the sailboat…
Yes! Especially proud of this one – shot with an iPhone:)
OMG, I did this exact same thing a good 5 years ago – it is so pretty! Thank you for bringing back the memories. I have a day around Milan in October.. and this is exactly what I am going to do instead. What a fab idea!! xx
we’re not going to lie, and we mean this in the best way possible: following you on instagram has been RULL difficult lately. i just want to hop a flight to italy and never come back!
someone also told me, George said, he loves Italy and Lake Como , because the conversation at lunch is what is for dinner. That sounds like my type of destination indeed.
stay adventurous, Craig
I hear so many great reports about Lake Como. Can’t wait to get there one day.
ahhhh….i want, i want. looks so good, Fiona. i love the pictures – seems so lovely & retro FAB. 🙂
These photos and this post are bellissima. Not sure what that means, but I think it is positive.
What a beautiful area… I like the retro look of your pictures – it somehow looks fitting. I wonder if you found anything you liked in those boutiques.
