Bonjour mes amis! Sunday, May 1, my sister, Betsy, and Gale and Bill Cushing came for a visit. Tuesday, May 3, we took off for Bellagio, Italy on Lake Como for a few days. We were in awe of the natural beauty and gardens of this region. We took a boat tour around Lake Como which included a stop at the Villa Carlotta. This Villa was built at the end of the 17th century for a noble Milanese family. In 1801, a businessman bought the property. Thanks to him, the villa attained the summit of its spendor. The gardens were absolutely spectacular with their spring flowering of rhododendrons and azaleas. May 2 we explored the gardens of Villa Melzi. These beautiful gardens were "absolument magnifique" or in italian, MAGNIFICO!!! The gardens of Villa Melzi stretch out along Lake Como in Bellagio. They blend into the hilly scenery of the Bellagio peninsula. The villa is a wonderful example of neo-classic style. Enjoy the pictures of the beautiful natural landscape of Bellagio.
