Jess' Travel Recs!

Florence

To Stay

We loved our stay at this AirBnB in the heart of Florence. The views of the Duomo were incredible!

To Eat

Grab a bite to eat at the wonderful Mangia Pizza!

To Do

Shop for leather goods at the historic Scuola del Cuoio and see the David sculpture. Be sure to make reservations beforehand so you don't have to wait in line all day!

Varenna

To Stay

We really liked our AirBnB in Varenna, but unfortunately it doesn't look it's on the site anymore. I would definitely recommend trying to find an AirBnB here, though!

To Do

The ferry on Lake Como is an affordable and beautiful way to see the lake!

Como

To Stay

We stayed in this AirBnB and appreciated the cleanliness and affordability. It wasn't really in the heart of town, but met our needs for the stay!

To Eat

Osteria del Gallo is a must eat! There is no menu and the options change daily. You can also find amazing gelato at Gelateria Guidi - and it's lactose free!

To Do

Ride the Como-Brunate Funicular to explore the town of Brunate on foot.
