The only thing I regret is that I went alone. Actually everyone around me were couples, and for me it felt a little awkward eating a gourmet dinner alone. ________________________________________________________ Anyway, go to Milan. Take the train from Stazione Cadorna (in North Milan) to Lake Como. This is very close to the Italy/Swiss border. Then take the ferry 1.5 hours from Lake Como to this unbelievable place.
