Right across the border, directly on Lago di Maggiore, you find yourself in the canton of Tecino, or Tessin (in German), Switzerland. On the laid back promenade in Ascona, German and Italian are spoken with a flourish and Italian relaxed style mixes seamlessly with Swiss efficiency. The best of both worlds, they say. All I can say is that on a broiling hot summer afternoon, there is simply no more beautiful place to be than on an Italian lake, regardless which country you happen to find yourself in.

I do so agree with you :)
Which is exactly why I appreciate how lucky I am to live on the shores of the beautiful Lagi di Bolsena.
What a lovely setting!
My husband has been there for executive retreats back when he was in the corporate world. We've vacationed on Lake Como (Varenna), so I do agree that Italian lakes are beautiful.

Just gorgeous Diana. Hopefully we will be heading to our closest lake later on today.
Italy is beautiful and yes the best of both worlds... Love Germany, Switzerland France and Italy ;-)
Very lucky ladies :-)
The next time in Stresa... you were so close!
Do you realize we'll be there again in just over TWO MONTHS? I can't sleep tonight so I'm going to the baurbb.com and see if I can relax myself thinking about our trip. xoxo
