Okay, you should not go here if you don’t want to spend money. The store is in Bellagio which should be hint right away that money is involved.
They specialize in scarves, ties and shawls. Beautiful things. Bill bought a great tie, I bought two gorgeos scarves and an unbelievalbe silk and cashmere shawl. I wear [...]

We ate at this place the day before we left Varenna, Italy and I wish we’d discovered it sooner. The address is Via XX Settembre 20 and the phone is 034.181.5091. The house specialty is fresh fish. And it is absolutely fabulous. The service was great, the cook came out to say hi. Very nice.
It’s [...]

The Room at Hotel Serenissima
Originally uploaded by darmorrow
All the rooms are pretty much the same deco if the two we’ve seen are an example. We had a window that opened into a courtyard in the back where you can see the other hotel they own. That’s the Hotel al Codega.

Bedroom
Originally uploaded by darmorrow
A very nice queen sized bed. Lots of extra blankets and pillows.
Two bedside tables with lights.
A nice wardrobe for hanging clothes up but not enough hangers. Hooks on the wall to hang coats. Plus a nice big dresser to put everything else away.
And another huge window but it was possible to use [...]

Love this room. You can see the huge window in the dining room/living room. A very comfortable couch that pulls out into a sofa bed. There is a comfortable chair with ottoman.
The dining room table was a good size and seated four comfortably.
Just past the window you [...]

The Kitchen
Originally uploaded by darmorrow
The typical small but servicable kitchen. The one really nice thing is that the blue curtain you see on the left hides a huge window.
Nice gas stove with four burners. A brand new oven that constantly blew the fuse so we never did use it.
Small double sink and dryer rack at [...]

So you have lots of locks and security to protect your [...]
