Lake Como, Italy

HOTELS:

• Palace Hotel - you'll find a great location here and ask for a lake view. You can hear a little traffic from the main road, but the view was worth it even in the winter. This is about a 5-10 minute taxi ride from the main station.

RESTAURANTS:

• La Darsena - Ristorante Pizzeria. Via Lungo Lano Trieste 54 - This restaurant is right on the water and offers a realatively reasonably priced menu. Food was great and service was solid.
• Angolo del Silenzio - also recommended by the Palace Hotel
