Beautiful Vlog ❤
I would like to add some information which can help anyone for there next trip. In your vlog you tell that the ferries run until late in the evening, unfortunately that is not the case also during the high season. Most ferries run until 8 pm, so always check the time scheduale at the port.
Unfortunately you were unable to visit Villa del Balbianello because you saw online that the tickets for that day were sold out. For a next time I would definitely advise you to go anyway, because it is always possible to visit the gardens and the gardens are the main highlight! I've been to lake como multiple times in high season and I've never pre-purchased tickets for anything.
Hopefully some tips that will help you for your next visit. Also a very nice video, thank you ❤🇮🇹
I've always wanted to visit Italy, and I've had my eye on Lake Como for so long, I met my better half (now my fiance) back in August 2023, and we will definitely go to Lake Como for a honeymoon in the near future!
Excellent vlog!
You two are darling to watch and your tour guiding is calm, fun, and enjoyable to view. I just discovered your channel and will be watching your travel tours again! Thank you and keep up the fantastic, easygoing, and friendly vacation trips.
Wow, Bellagio is absolutely breathtaking! From the mesmerizing fountains to the stunning architecture, it truly is a feast for the senses. Every time I visit, I can't help but be captivated by its elegance and charm. The Bellagio is an iconic landmark that perfectly encapsulates the essence of luxury and sophistication. Truly a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience exploring lake como
Thanks for sharing! This is a video about Lake Como, Italy where I visit Bellagio in Italy not the resort in Las Vegas, USA.
@@DanaBerez Sorry it was a typing problem
What airport is the best option to get there from the US. I am excited to visit, bit planning is hectic
We are so excited for our upcoming Summer visit to Varenna! We actually have the SAME apartment booked!!! 🙂 FIVE Nights!!!
Hi, May I know the link for this BnB? Many thanks.
@@prescymarceloI believe this is divina vita apartments
We love Lake Como and also stayed in Varenna. I agree with you completely that it’s the place to stay. Il Cavatappi is the best!! Thanks for taking us along. It brought so many special memories!
Thank you for the virtual vacation ❤ you’re both the best! Really missed these adventures 😊
You are most welcome! Thank you for watching and supporting, I really appreciate it!
Varenna looks absolutely stunning. Adding it to my list to visit. So excited for your Venice Vlog.
Such beautiful couple! Your voices are so relaxing and soothing to listen to. thanks for sharing your adventure! ❤🧡❤
oh my gosh this is so GORGEOUS! I am now a subscriber! I've been to Italy and am going back this year, and I've never had Lake Como on my list to visit, but I do now. Thanks so much for the amazing footage. Also, your outfits, jewelry, and makeup are everything!
Thank you so much for this video! Lake Como has been on my travel wish list for ages and I always love your videos and recommendations.
We are heading Milan 6th may 24 then lake Como staying in Varenna , Venice then travelling down throughout. Spending time with family in Abruzzo (Chieti ) then a cruise out of Rome to Barcelona. I never travel so this is a massive holiday for my Husbane and me. It was nice to see how the weather looked and all the tips. Lovely
What a beautiful place! Thank you for bringing me there and all the best to you and Al!👍🎉💟
ah you went during the perfect time with all of the purple flowers in bloom!
Yes it was truly beautiful
Your view and location is perfection!! That balcony!! The walk to the ferry is so pretty! Your boat tour looked amazing! Thank you for all the beautiful views and helpful information. 😊🇮🇹✨
Loving this episode ❤
Thank you Christine!
Heading to lake como later this year! Thanks so much for this vlog
The BEAUTY......fell in love with ITALY!!!!!!
Lake Como is so beautiful!! You are living my dream for next year! ❤
My husband and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in Como and Tuscany. We will be staying in Griante, just across the lake from Bellagio. Can’t wait! I also had Il Cavatappi on my must reserve for dinner list…so glad I was able to see how you enjoyed the food. Thanks for that! 😉
Such a magical place and I am so glad you got to experience it together!❤
That is so exciting! What a remarkable place to go to for a wedding anniversary, you are going to love it and definitely eat at Il Cavatappi, you won't regret it! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
I should have a boat tour like you guys. The view is spectacular on the boat vs. the ferry for sure. Next time then..
Great reason to revisit!
You and Al are the cutest couple and best travelers! Always so lovely watching your beautiful picturesque videos!!
What a nice vlog about my lake 😍
Glad you enjoyed it
great video just beautiful thank you for all the detail information🌼🌼🌼
Loved this vlog…omg literally my mouth gaped wide open at all the places you went. Just stunning!!!Taking notes and I’m definitely headed there hopefully next year. I had to say there was a little bit of a chuckle when you mentioned the reality while pulling your luggage up the stairs. Because it’s so true. It’s like you turn into a pumpkin the day that you leave😂 But still so effing worth it!!
Was looking forward to seeing what type of hat Al was going to wear. Thought I would see a fedora or a pork pie. Great vlog as always!
It’s beautiful 🤩 enjoy guys. Love your videos ❤️
Thank you
Love, Love, Love your travels vlogs ! What amazing views you had from your B&B on lake. Thank you for showing us around & all the tip, I love seeing all the restaurants you visit & the yummy food. Hope you were not too cold, but your dress looked fabulous in the wonderful shots Al took. Can't wait for to see Venice, I visited as a child many years ago & would love to return ! Happy Holidays xx
Hi Clare, Thank you, I always love seeing your lovely comments. Yes, the view was spectacular and you heard us in the video, we didn't realize it was THE view in Varenna. So very grateful to have been able to stay there and secure a booking. It was chilly during the evening and comfortable during the day. Luckily rain started as we were leaving so we go lucky! Stay tuned for Venice vlog. Cheers!
Hi! I'm watching your video and brings back so many good memories of my trip to Varenna last year! I stayed at an apartment owned by the guy who also owns Bar Molo, perhaps you are as well as your views seem as good as mine were! Make sure to hike up to the top of the small mountain/big hill to the castle! Have fun! Sandy
Hi Sandy! Aww I love it, it's the best reliving those memories, that's honestly my favorite part about traveling and also making these videos. I am so sad we didn't get to hike up to the castle. But next time, I guess it's another reason to revisit. Cheers!
Omg I love this vlog, and all your videos, I’ll be going to Lake como soon and your video is perfect, thank you for sharing all your tips and the info, great video!
Thank you so much for watching and supporting! Glad you enjoyed!!
So excited for this video!!! And about those trees. They always get cut back for the winter and fill I over the summer.😊
Love to collect fridge magnets when travelling. Small, inexpensive and evokes great memories.
yes, 100%!
Went to lake Como last year. We went to Bellagio and Varenna but I also recomend in taking the boat to Mennagio on the other side of the lake. It's even more beautiful than Varenna in my opinion although Varenna is beautiful too.
Very nice travel vlog. The two of you are lovely.
This is a beautiful and wonderful vlog! i LOVE the green dress!
Thank you Mary! It's my favorite I am SO glad I packed it, I think it was perfect for the trip.
love all your vlogs Dana, expecially the italian ones as an italian woman living in Rome :) all your reccomendations are really good and on point. glad to see that you staied in Varenna, I confirm was a very good choice ♥
Lake como is amazing . We had a great time at Villa D’Este in April.
Maravilhoso ,amo Itália Tudo é fantástico. Parabéns pela bela reportagem.❤.
Obrigada!
You and Al always make great travel videos and enjoyed this very much. Look forward to viewing what's next.
I love your channel Dana!! Excellent video!! You & Al make great travel partners. It’s so great he is able to arrange his schedule to travel with you - much love 💕 Janae
Thank you for watching and supporting
We must have just missed you guys by a few days! We booked a junior suite at Royal Victoria, and were upgraded to the Garden Suite at Villa Cipressi(we were on our honeymoon). It's literally the best hotel room we've ever stayed in! So glad you guys showcased it and Il Cavatappi.
So happy y’all went to Lake Como as I’m going later this year lol I trust all of your recs so I booked this exact b&b as soon as I finished watching😂 Excited to see the rest of your trip!!
Beautiful Vlog ❤
Thank you 😊
We’ve been to Lake Como and Varenna was our fav too!! We went the week before Christmas and it was absolutely magical!
That sounds like a lovely time to visit. Was it decorated with all the holiday lights? Thanks for watching!
@@DanaBerez we have found that most of the smaller Italian cities have more subtle Christmas decorations, some lights, but nothing like we have in the US. Their cities are so beautiful they don’t need them ha ha The drama of the snow capped mountains on the lake was amazing. Also, we basically had the cities to ourselves as tourism is not as popular on the lakes in December.
@@Janiceelaine1 That makes so much sense! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you've liked our lake! For those coming over this Summer I'd suggest to plan your visits to villas and such early in the day or late afternoons. We have ALOT of tourists this season and many groups lol; it can get crowded easily 😅
P.s. Al really loved that risotto with pesce persico haha
hey, if you don't mind, i'd love to hear from the locals' perspective. I'm wondering whether lake como is a good place to visit in early december. thanks
@ridwanhuang7452 It depends on what you'd like to do. Most of the attractions are open or better be visited from Spring to Autumn, then are closed. Even transportation is reduced during the Winter season. But it's still worth a visit if you like the views and Winter atmosphere 👍.
Almost forgot that in early December, if interested, there's the Artigiano in Fiera not far away in Milan along with Xmas markets! That event attracts people from all over the world and I highly recommend it 👌.
@@jillyloves9373 thank you so much. really appreciate that. would definitely add that to my list!🙌
Traveling with u and Al ❤❤❤❤🎉
Incredible trip, good job to you by the way.
Greetings from Indonesia!
Great video, where did you get your earrings that have the diamonds at the top and a pearl underneath with a coin looking shape under it? Very beautiful!
Dana, Thank you for the tour around Lake Como! Im Love Love Loving this! 💕 Feel like I’m there in Northern Italy with you 🇮🇹 🍷🥐🥂🍕💦
That makes me so happy to hear! That is exactly why I love to share my videos with you. Cheers!
Love this video, guys!! We went to Lake Como for a day (we stayed in Lake Garda), and this is making me want to go back.. Also, I'm thinking frosecco should be a thing!! 😁🥰
Hi Johlene, Lake Garda is next on my list as it looks stunning. Yes, I totally agree frosecco should be a thing. We were not going to let that bottle go to waste. Thanks for watching!
My Fave Channel!! 🎉
Yay! Thank you!
It's more beautiful than dream
Loved this, we are off to Varenna on the 13th October and found this very interesting. We are staying at The Royal Victoria and I just convinced my husband we need a taxi from the station. Thanks guys
Glad it was helpful!
How is the weather in October?
I ate at the same restaurants in Veranna and Bellagio . Do visit Villa Balbinello. It is magical. I usually stay in Lenno .
Great video! I'm heading there in 11 days and absolutely CANNOT wait! You're right, I booked Villa Balbianello 2 weeks in advance and could only get the tickets for gardens. Tour of the villa itself was sold out 🥹
Wow! This is great for people who are trying to decide between Varenna and Bellagio to stay in! You really made me feel like I was there and your restaurant and yacht recommendations are definitely things I want to check out when I go to Lake Como! Do you think Varenna has enough to do/see/eat in the evening or did you find yourself needing to go to Bellagio for more to do?
Thank you for watching! It does but only for 1-3 nights. There aren't many restaurants and it is very small. We stayed the right amount of time in Varenna. There is more to do in Bellagio than Varenna as it is more popular and bigger.
In addition to things to do and restaurant options. I would consider how much of the other villages you will be exploring, your budget, how many nights total/per village and accessibility to the rail and ferry.
Hi Dana, I absolutely love every vlog you post. Always look forward to your newest video. I swear I’ve watched all of them since finding you two years ago 😊. Question. When booking hotels or B&B’s what are your go to websites?
Complimenti per il tuo video il lago di Como è fantastico 💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Grazie!
Lago di Como is so beautiful. We stayed in Bellagio, loved it as we had the most iconic view from our Airbnb. But will definitely stay in Varenna or along the lake. We used the bus and it was so easy just like the ferries.
Enjoy!
That sounds like a dream! Yes, Varenna or anywhere mid-lake honestly is a great place to stay. I'm curious as to how the bus works? Next time we will definitely try it, just to say we tried it at least one :)
@@DanaBerez us New Yorkers love public transit 😉
@@Mallorca1005 Exactly!
Hey! Love your videos❤ I have a question…Do we need to make reservations for lunch/dinner at hotel Victoria?
I was wondering where the famous steps to the water is? beautiful spot ❤ great video!
Gorgeous video…love you guys❤
Thanks so much!
Succession is the best show on TV. Drop everything and watch it!
oooo doing that now! I have heard so many great things, so definitely adding it to my watch list. Thanks for watching!
I stick non-slip pads on the sole of sandals. That helps with the grip and also protects the soles of your sandals. Walking on those cobble stones can dent/damage them.
What type of pads? This intrigues me - do you have a link to what you use!
Hey guys. Seen ur video first time. Really like it the way u explained. Which area to stay would u recommend if travelling with kids and with car from France?
Thank you! If you are coming from France Como may be the best option!
We loved our visit to Lake Como last October. It was a beautiful fall day with temps in the mid 20's. How blessed you are to spend so much time there. Love your accommodations! So close to the water. 😊🇨🇦👍👏
Hello Dana. We have an extra day on our trip and I can’t choose between Cinque Terre or Lake Como. Which one do you think it’s better ?
really enjoy you vlog style and info:}
Thanks so much!
Beautiful, been to Amalfi after checking your vlogs, will go this year again. Anytime Sardegna? :D
Hello there, thank you for uploading this video, just in time for our anniversary trip coming up soon. Did you have to make a reservation to dine in at Hotel victoria?
What is the name of your Varenna BnB? The link in the description seems to be broken. Thanks in advance.
Great video Dana, I am heading to lake como in July and would like to know if I need to go early to villa Cipressi and Monastero to get photos ? Does it get busy in terms of taking photos during the day?
Did you need a reservation for lunch when you went to Hotel Royal Victoria?
Super 🎉🎉
What was the shower like in the apartment? Did it have a hand wand? And/or a rain shower head? It isn't shown in the booking photos
even if tickets to villa Balbianello are sold out online you can buy tickets in front of the entrance)
How did you make a reservation for Al Prato? Did you guys call? I am not seeing a website to book it on. Also, how was the food there if and is it worth it if you don't mind sharing :) Thanks!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Is there a link to that green dress in lake como ? I LOVE it !!! ❤
Here is the link: www.shopltk.com/explore/danaberez/posts/e50a87a4-e2d6-11ed-a0c9-0242ac110004
What time of the year we’re you there? You got to experience both rain and sun which I love. Thanks for sharing your experiences
Spring in April
@@DanaBerez thanks for replying. I never considered going that early in there year. Great time to consider traveling on my next trip. Love your videos and appreciate the details. Keep them coming
Hey, do we need to book ferry to Bellagio in advance..im going next month so wanted to know
love this. where did you stay in Varenna
How do you reserve the table in hotel Victoria restaurant?
Lovely video. We are heading there in July, I guess it will be busier by then. Was it expensive there in general?Any little local places to grab a bite or just major restaurants for tourists?Thanks
Thanks so much! It was more expensive than other places in Italy. The restaurants that I recommended are little local places in Lake Como. There aren’t really “major” restaurants for tourists. The only one that is really popular is Bar Il Molo which is one of the main restaurants, so if you don’t want to eat at a busy place, I would avoid this one.
❤ Where did you stay I’m planning a trip there and loved your B&B . How much was the train from Milan and the taxi .?
Now the train from Milan is only 5 euro. If you plan to visit most of the towns I suggest a private boat or a fairy 25 euro a day. Bellagio and Varenna are must see. Let me know if you needed more info.
How did you book your taxi from the train station in varenna to the airbnb? I am going to this same location in a month, per your recommendation!!!!
This was arranged by my accommodation host.
❤ beautiful
Great video. Can you please share the name of the place you stayed in Varenna and room #? Thank you
It is linked in the description box and I do not remember the room number.
Thinking to visit Milan and then one day trip to Lake Como, and maybe one day trip to Lugano. Was wondering if are there organized tours at Lake Como for a day lake trip with a guide? Is the second part of September a good month to visit? Thanks Irina :)
Yes there are many day tours to lake como depending on the tour will determine where they take you. September is a more mild month in terms of weather and can be chilly especially in the evenings.
@@DanaBerez Can I book a tour when at lake Como or online?
Looks like there’s no one around. What month of the year did you visit.
It was shoulder season late April.
Love this vlog! We are hoping to visit some of the same places! What is the email address for reservations at II Cavatappi?
Can you pass your airbnb link? Thank you
How much you paid for 2 hours Boat trip?
05:22 hi, how can I finde
this place ?
Did you have to reserve lunch and dinner at the places you went to??
Yes, we make reservations 90% of the itinerary. We’re big planners :)
@@DanaBerez do you recommend reserving a week before, a day before, or few hours before?
@@jeannelle_ For lunch you can reserve a few weeks before for dinners you should reserve a few months out.
What is the name of the place, please
Hi. Where is ur gorgeous dress from?❤
What month did you visit?
We visited in April
Wow name of B&B?
Linked in the description
Danna is that a hotel ? What is the name ?
It is linked in the bio and fully booked for this summer but has open dates later this year and next year!
Thank you. It will be for next year 😉
