Overlooking Lake Como in Italy, we stayed overnight in the lovely inn, Le Eriche, Menaggio, owned by Piero and Flammetta Tagliasacchi. Lovely villages climb the hills from the shoreline, with the peaks of the Alps in the background. We even had a view of the town of Bellagio, on the peninsula to the south. The breakfast spread that our host and hostess presented to us in the morning was elegant and delicious.
