Over the past month of adventuring with my family

Over the past month of adventuring with my family in Italy I have loved these little moments so much. Sitting with those I love with my whole heart, ordering cappuccinos (in the morning) and espresso macchiatos (in the afternoons), so many good conversations, listening to the bells and letting them remind us what time it is, people watching (seriously the best), meeting new people and creating connections (even for an introvert like me) and reading SO many books. This little cafe (Bar Sport) in the town center of Bellagio has been a sweet spot for gathering for us (and so many). European cafe culture is so beautiful.

Last Saturday we took the train from Lake Como to

Last Saturday we took the train from Lake Como to Milan for the Navigli Antique Market. On the last Sunday of every month over 400 vendors line the banks of Naviglio Grande (the oldest canal in Milan) and you will find everything from vintage linens, gorgeous mid century furniture, art, books, silver and more.

We starting exploring the market around 8:30 while some of the vendors were finishing setting up. We were able to go around the whole market within a few hours and then went back to some of our favorites. It really didn’t get busy until after we were done so I would highly recommend you come when it opens and you will enjoy the pace a lot more. Most of the vendors took a credit card. I am not good at negotiating but if you are I think you will find many willing to work with you.

We stayed right along the canal at @maison_borella (thanks to the beautiful recommendation by my friend @carolynpeeler @pronetowanderretreats) We arrived on Saturday afternoon and explored the surrounding neighborhoods and then came back to our hotel for an incredible dinner in their gardens. In the morning they provided a wonderful breakfast and then we literally stepped outside the hotel doors to explore the market. The location was absolute perfection and we will come back to the market and hotel again and again.

I was able to find two vintage paintings at incredible prices, amazing vintage books with stunning cover fonts, a small locket to go on my new charm bracelet from @alexisgarrettdesign, a few metal Italian signs, a vintage trench coat and purse. I thought the prices were really good and the quality of the market was extraordinary. I am not knowledgeable about high end vintage clothing but there were whole sections with the best vintage clothing I have ever seen.

What do you look for at a vintage market?

Raise your hand if you have ever made a bad hotel/

Raise your hand if you have ever made a bad hotel/apartment rental choice while you have been traveling? I have for sure. I have actually made one on this trip (in Venice but now I know better)but not for this apartment. I have been very quiet on here during our family trip but I will share more once we get home. It has been so special in all the ways that matter.

I had to share a peek into this apartment! We went to sleep listening to the waves crashing against the old stone walls and we woke up to the birds singing. The views out of each window are absolutely incredible, the pool is an oasis and we are surrounded by private gardens where I can make art and no one looks over my shoulder.

Once we get home I will do a re-cap of more suggestions and links. If you go to my blog search for An Artist in Bellagio and you can get some of my top tips.
