the occasion to go and visit Bellagio, just on
the other side of the lake (use the ferry boat)
or Villa Carlotta, famous for its azaleas
garden. Tonight drive to the local hotel school
for your third cooking lesson.

Today it is the turn of La Pinetina Golf Club, a

Your golf holidays is ended. Drive to the
airport and depart.

GRAND HOTEL VILLA D’ ESTE - Set on
the shores of Lake Como, the Hotel is
located in one of the most important
crossroads between Italy and Northern
Europe. This ancient Villa of the 16th
century is surrounded by a 10-acres of
private park and gardens. Built in 1568 by
architect Pellegrino Tibaldi, known as "Il
Pellegrini", as a private residence for
Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, it was considered
one of the finest examples of architecture
and landscaping. Between its construction
and its conversion into a hotel in 1873,
Villa d’Este (consisting of the Cardinal¹s
Palace and the Queen¹s Pavilion, built in
1860 and later named in honor of Caroline of
Brunswick, Princess of Wales) has a colorful
and checkered history. Its residents
included Jesuits, generals, the estranged
wife of a future king of England, European
aristocracy by the score and even a czarina
of Russia. Now it is listed as one of the
top resort hotels in the world and always
lives up to its vaulted reputation. The
world class service, amenities and elegant
atmosphere the hotel offers are rivaled by
none, truly a first class property and one
of Italy’s real treasures. WWG Rating: A+
