Too bad for you! :ROTFL:We leave next week for our house at Lake Como.
Here are a few in and around Lake Como taken last year, to give you an idea of the neighborhood:... Seriously, what a beautiful place to have a house, PLEASE share some images!
+1I think that a workshop there would be just dandy!

Lake Como can be expensive ... but it doesn't have to be. Certainly no more expensive than Milan. Actually, the further you go north up the Lake, (away from the city of Como), the more "affordable" it becomes ... especially if you stay on the eastern side of the Lake. I guess it depends on what you like: big city vs. the country-side. Personally, I would stay away from Milan. It reminds me of LA: hot and smoggy, a lot of traffic and congestion, and a small city center. You can always take the train into Milan for the day.Actually, would pretty easy to do. Lake Como itself is a fairly expensive area to stay, but the train ride from Milan is less than an hour, and Milan is reasonable prices -- plus a lot of good shooting right there too!Hmmmmm.....
Now that you have made such a generous proposal, it would be poor taste for us to refuse !!And we would all stay with ftbt!
I am serious. Guy and I need to talk, and will pull you into the loop, but maybe we can work this into next year's schedule -- Spring in Italy anyone?If you guys are half-way serious, I can certainly give you some ideas and scout-out areas and small (read reasonable) hotels. However, the ideal time to go would be outside the tourist season, say May or June or mid September through October.

They look good, but since Bob has extended an invitation....Looks like a beautiful spot for a workshop.
And there are even rooms in ftbt's neighborhood. http://www.venere.com/italy/griante/
I guess that settles it: we're all staying with ftbt as insisted. And the more ftbt posts, the more the idea makes sense! Great location, a guide familiar with the area...They look good, but since Bob has extended an invitation....
