Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

- Crossing Lake Como to Villa Carlotta
Took an early ferry to Tremezzo, across the Como Arm of the lake, to Villa Carlotta and its famous gardens. ChatGPT really steered us wrong when we were planning this trip in terms of when the rhododendrons would be in bloom and we (again) missed most of them. Very disappointing! We had a really nice leisurely lunch at the lakeside terrace of a fancy-schmancy hotel then ferried back to Bellagio. “French” dinner at home – foie gras, Camembert, olives, nuts, a few crudités and a delicious chilled rosé.
