Lake Como, Italy

During this summer's vacation our first stop was to Lake Como, Italy. I was thrilled about this little lake region since I had never visited it before nor had Kevin. After flying to Milan we took a high speed train to this northern lake region and found ourselves on a ferry with luggage to Cadenabbia, one of many small towns on the lake.

We opted to stay in a well located Air B&B that I highly recommend that was close enough to the ferry and sites of the area. It's listed as Royal Cadenabbia-Design Apartment if you're interested, check it out!  It was perfecto for our first Air B&B experience, setting a high standard. We visited Bellagio for dinner most evenings, walked along the lake, and explored the stunning botanical  gardens of Villa Carlotta amongst other sites. This villa is absolutely breathtaking and Kevin outdid himself with the most perfect proposal from the top balcony! We enjoyed this quaint place away from heavy tourism and loved the fresh area food from the region. Besides way too many photos and wine we couldn't have indulged more. We will definitely be returning !

LB Off the Shoulder Romper

Our first stop on this summer's European vacation started off in Lago di Como, aka Lake Como, Italy. Having lived in Italy in 2009 and traveled through most major cities over the years I was  thrilled to explore the lake region, and it is absolutely breath taking from every corner! The perfect calm and tranquil retreat with lots to see, and of course eat! We stayed in the small town of Canedabbia across from Bellagio.

We loved how accessible it was to explore the lake region by the ferries. This first stop on our trip will always be a special one for me. It was beautiful shooting in this picturesque place, especially exploring around an old family villa where we toured the sprawling gardens and mansion. It was at this Villa Carlotta Kevin proposed on the highest balcony overlooking the lake. It truly felt like such a fairy tale ending to a perfect summer day and we couldn't be happier!
