LAGO DI COMO

A dreamlike place right out of another era...many other eras in fact.

In the first image you can get an idea of the entire shoreline of this large and gorgeous lake. Many little villages made up of both very old multi-storied buildings and villas complete with vast, maticulous gardens dot the edge and hillside of the lake.

The lake by day and the lake by night follow. In these two images you can make out, at the far left, the shape of the floating pool of Hotel Villa d'Este. This is one of two pools. The other is indoors and heated. Thus, there is a pool, there is a lake and there is a pool in the lake.
