These are just a few observations about my trip to Lake Como in Italy, having stayed in Bellagio for a few days for my honeymoon. Regarding the wine – I thought that the prices seemed pretty reasonable, especially when compared to food costs. Prosecco seemed to be about €3.50 a glass and bottles seemed to go from €15-35 for […]

Craft Beer at Casa Aqua Dulza, Lake Como, Italy
It would be quite easy to spend time in Como with a few glasses of white wine or prosecco and losing a few hours people watching. Then perhaps, a bottle of the excellent local red can be enjoyed in the evening. All well and good, but sometimes only a beer will do. But where can you […]
