The next stop on our trip was Florence. After spending a few days lounging by Lake Como, it was nice to get back to doing what we do best, scouring cities for the best local food (and maybe taking a photo or two next to a church). …
Lake Como (Tremezzo and Bellagio)
As hard as it was to leave our hotel (the Grand Hotel Tremezzo), we found some time to explore Tremezzo town and visit nearby Bellagio. Sure, most of our sightseeing was done on our way to eat, but that still counts, right? After the jump, our thoughts on some of the most well reviewed restaurants in the area, including Al Veluu, Pizzeria Balognett, and Alle Darsene di loppia.

Grand Hotel Tremezzo (Lake Como)
For the first stop on our vacation CateyLou and I stayed at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Lake Como. We took a car directly from the Milan airport, but you can also reach the hotel by taking a train to Como (the town) and then taking a ferry to Tremezzo. The hotel is probably best known for its iconic floating pool and spectacular views of the lake.

Italy 2013
For our summer vacation this year CateyLou and I traveled back to Italy. True to form, we moved around a lot and did our best to see as much as we could over a 10 day period. Over the next few weeks we will be highlighting some of the best towns, hotels, and restaurants from our trip and providing some helpful tips for travel within Italy. After the jump is a quick look at what we’ll be covering. …

NYC is dangerous for me – there is an ice cream or fro-yo store on almost every block. But rather than giving in to the temptation the other day, I decided to make a coconut smoothie to satisfy my craving for a frozen treat.
