Stunning property with 180 deg views of Lake Como Argegno, Lombardy, Italy
Additional Location Information
The property is in a typical Italian house (three floors, each with a self-contained apartment) Ours is on the second floor, to reach it, you have to walk down about 20 steps.
It is located on a private road that is exclusively for the use of the residents in the house which is gated.There is one parking space on this lane for the apartment.
The property is located in the charming ancient fishing village of Argegno, only a 6 minute stroll from the lakeside.
There is a very safe pedestrian path taking you down the village centre through the heart of the village with narrow cobbled lanes and archways, past the local panifico with aromas of Louisa's freshly baked bread and leaving you in the middle of the Piazza where you can get fantastic ice cream made on the premises at Zoë's.
The village has a small mini market to provide you with all the basics .
There is a bank with international cash machine, a small harbour with marina, fishing tackle shop, cable-car station ,to take you into the mountains to the village of Pigra where you can have the experience of Como from the sky.
The village has it own pebble beach with an adjoining pizzeria where you can hire sun loungers etc. or fish to your hearts content. There is a small food market in Argegno on Monday mornings where you can get fresh meat, fish veg and locally produced cheeses.
There are numerous small bars in the village and a fantastic selection of restaurants and snack bars and in the surrounding area .La Grillia 2km up in the hills overlooking the lake, is one of our favourites with great value, fantastic food and an amazing wine cellar in a beautiful rustic Italian setting.Café Colombo is a tiny beautiful wine bar in the corner of the square with Italian 'tapas' and snacks available all day and a great Happy Hour (Free antipasti )at night. La Piazzetta (website: hidden). serves a wide selection of food from pizza (best in Argegno) to fine dining i.e. fresh tuna tar. Others restaurants we recommend are, Villa Belvedere, (website: hidden) beside the ferry port, Emillio's in the harbour (great fresh fish dishes), Barchetta in the village square-good for pasta and traditional lake food,hotel Argegno-Fantastic pizza and pasta and Crotto dei Platini (website: hidden) (3 mins down the road towards Brienno). These are situated on the Lake with fantastic food in a magical setting. A delightful wine bar Enotica Argegno, run by brothers Alberto and Luca, is only recently opened with a fantastic range of good wines available very cheaply. This also serves free antipasti.
You may want to take the cable car to Pigra. The view from there is amazing. This operates every 30 mins until noon and resumes at 2. There is a small restaurant in Pigra. We have included some information leaflets in the 'Va Bene' folder with regard to places to visit.
The village lies on the main lakeside road and therefore is on the main bus route up and down the lake .It also has a ferry port stop for passenger ferries (both slow ferry and hydrofoil) and these are a great way of seeing the lake which is at its best when viewed from the water. You can get daily rambler tickets so you can hop on and off at your leisure.
Car hire is recommended as you need to explore the lake to optimize your time there.Taxis are available from Cafe Colombo in the village. Public transport is inexpensive, reliable and frequent.
Within a 10 min drive north you have a huge selection of beaches, both sand (man made) and pebble all along the lakeside. Swimming there is very safe as there are no tidal currents to worry about. Recommended is a day out on the lake on a boat which can be hired from two companies on the lake: (website: hidden) and (website: hidden) (Lenno Boat hire is the closest -ask for Igor and tell him we sent you) No experience is necessary as the boats are very simple to operate and there are no hazards like shallows or sandbars (Como is the deepest lake in Europe). There are plenty of places to tie up for lunch or you can simply stop the boat are jump off for a swim in the warm freshwater. There is a fantastic lakeside pool (lido) in Menaggio 15min drive with a on-duty lifeguard. There is a good supermarket in Lenno (10 min drive away, north) or a shopping centre with hypermarket in Como town.
For some retail therapy I would recommend Bellagio with current Milan fashions and some good bargains to be had in Italian designer sunglasses, handbags etc. Como is famous in the region for its silk. There is a huge outlet centre called Foxtown (info on net) just over the border in Switzerland (15 mins from Como) where the Milanese go to do serious shopping. Don't forget to bring your passport.
Italian life around the lake starts very early (the local bakery is usually sold out of most of its bread by nine thirty) and ends quite early with dinner starting at about 7and bars closing around midnight. Also everywhere is very child friendly.
Getting your timing right is very important as most shops close from 12.30 until 3 and most restaurants finish serving lunch at 2 with not another bite to be got until about 5 when they fire up their pizza ovens.
There is a small shop in the village where you can get most of the basics but I suggest you go to in Bennet Shopping Centre in Como Nord where there is a very large supermarket which will cater for all of your needs.
With regard to places to visit, top priority is a slow ferry on the lake to anywhere!
Best places are Bellagio, a must for lunch, Menaggio, and Como lakefront (also great for shopping with a flea market on Thursday mornings and all day Saturday).
You must visit some of the villas with the most popular being Villa Carlotta. This has beautiful gardens and is open to the public.
Villa Balbainello is another beautiful villa to visit. It now has a new next door neighbour – Virgin boss Richard Branson.
For the more energetic Argegno is a great starting point for some of the most spectacular mountain walks in the area. The Monte Generoso trail is a walk, that the memories will stay with you for a very long time. Walking on the ridgeline with one foot in Switzerland and one in Italy while looking down on both Lake Lugano and Lake Como makes the hike very worthwhile.
Of course Switzerland is only 30 mins drive away and Lake Lugano is well worth a visit. A trip to St Moritz (1.5 hrs) will certainly be one of the highlights of your trip. I do hope this is of some help to you and don't hesitate to ask any more questions that you may have.
The most important thing is to enjoy 'La Dolce Vita' with a glass of vino on the balcony.

"The best location"
Well this is a much belated review after we stayed in November/December 2012. This was our third stay at David and Lorraine's property in argegno. Simply, this place is a fantastic find and is everything you hope and expect it to be. It's a home away from home. It is well located along Lake Como and can be easily accessed by car (ideally) or via train and ferry (really quite easy to do also). David's directions are excellent and the apartment is easy to find. Check in is simple. The narrow drive looks daunting but isn't that big a deal if you go slow and use a guide. Within the apartment, you'll enter the main living area which is very spacious and comfortable. The fireplace adds tremendous appeal, especially during the colder months when you can stoke it up, drink red wine and watch the view of the lake. There's also a good supply of firewood. There is sat TV available with a selection of Irish / UK channels as well as Dvds. In addition, if you wish, there's wireless internet too. The rooms are very well appointed and super comfortable. You won't actually want to get out of bed (especially if you're in the main room overlooking the lake). All doors and windows have roller shutters as well which is great for keeping it dark for sleeping. We certainly had no issues sleeping and found the apartment very quiet. The balcony is great to sit out on and enjoy the view, which I imagine would be great during the summer months too. There's a pizza oven outside you can use too. The kitchen is really very good with a gas top stove and oven. We found there were many glasses, plates and utensils. No dramas there. The fridge and freezer are also very good. The bathroom is really good and has a view out to the south of the lake. The bath takes a while to fill with hot water but that wasn't a show stopper. The laundry is good too. You will love this place. Meet David and Lorraine and have a wine bottle or two with them - they're lovely and you will have a great time!

"Excellent service, accommodation, and outstanding scenery"
We loved our stay in the apartment. The information we received was very good, and the person who greeted us couldn't have been more helpful. This is definitely a place we would book again were we ever in that area. Wonderful!

"A Tranquil and Peaceful start to our honeymoon."
Sat here in argegno on the eve of leaving lake Como and we are feeling sad but excited for the rest of our honeymoon. We chose now as the perfect time to write a review. David - No more welcoming and helpful a host can there be. We arrived without notice due to leaving milan in our taxi with contact details in the boot. No problemo. David quickly met us and even ferried us and our luggage up to the apartment pointing out the walking route along the way. He showed us around the apartment and recommended local bars, resteraunts and towns to see around the lake. A bottle of prosecco was waiting for us and enjoyed later that evening. We could not have asked for anything more. The apartment - Anyone who complains about lack of facilities is clearly not spending enough time visiting places around the lake and/or in the bars of argegno. The apartment is much more than comfortable and has all the necessary to live comfortably during a stay. We cooked here on a number of occasions and found everything we needed to do so easily. The bed is very comfortable (we used main only) and we slept like logs every night (and I am not the best sleeper). Sat on the balcony is the perfect way to begin and end every day. Overall everything we needed was there and most of everything we didn't was also. A week in this apartment and we are fatter (the food in La Piazzetta is great) and our calfs are stronger (the walk up to the apartment is also "great"). Argegno - The village is lovely. Is not to busy unlike others around the lake. Has access to bus routes and has a ferry port to take you to everywhere you might want to go. Cafe Colombo became our watering hole and rocks.. La Piazzetta serves just wonderful food. Everyone we have spoken to has been really friendly and seems to have a dog... Random way to end a review. Ps Please give Paco (least we think that's his name) the dog next door a pet for us.

"wonderful view and a few buts"
We spent a very relaxing week in this tastefully furnished apartment.The view really is overwhelmingly beautiful and in and by itself constitues a reason to rent (or come back to) this property. The furnishings, particularly the beds, are much better than what one usually finds in Italian holiday rentals. David, the owner, is very friendly, responded quickly to our enquiries and had a lot of helpful tips to help us make the best of our stay. There are books and Dvds for the evenings. We didn't make much use of them though as we couldn't stop looking out of the window. There are a few drawbacks. The parking is hairy, even for experienced drivers - if you can, bring a small car. The kitchen was a bit of a disappointment as well. There is a very good fridge/freezer unit, a microwave and even a sandwich maker, but some basic items were missing (no sieve, only 6 teaspoons, only plastic wine glasses). We also felt that the pans and pots could have done with a good scrub. Above all, the apartment isn't exactly quiet. It is situated above (though not on) the main road around the lake and you will hear quite a lot of traffic noise, though it did calm down between 11 pm and 7 am. Because of the traffic, we did not use the balcony much and ended up sharing the smaller bedroom with our daughter as the master bedroom was simply to noisy for us. However, since none of the other reviews mentions this, it may be that we are simply partiularly sensitive to noise. Argegno is a great place to stay with lots of places to eat out. We particularly liked "La Piazzetta". It is not as touristy as some other places around the lake. Parents of small children may be interested to know that the way from the apartment to the village cannot be done with a pram as there are about70 steps to be negotiated. You will have to use you car to get to the village, or carry the pram (and the baby).
Response from the owner, LakeComoDreamRentals - 04/17/2012
Hi Bettina Thank you for your very honest and informative review. I must apologise that the kitchen was not as fully equipped as you (and we) would have expected . We have now replaced the missing items to bring the kitchen back up to our usual high standards for the coming season. ( The missing sieve is a bit of a mystery as this is not something can be packed in error , I can only presume it was that it was accidentally disposed of by previous guests) I am sorry that the traffic during the day was an intrusion for you. There is a bit of a trade off with regard to the lake and that is, that to be close to the lake and its amenities, you must be close to the only road that circles it. I am happy that you found everything else to your liking and it was a pleasure to meet you and your family and I would love to welcome you back should you ever come back to the Lake. Kind Regards David

"A lovely villa with stunning views in a beautiful area of Italy"
The location of this villa is perfect - on a clear day the vista is quite amazing, the lake and mountains spread out before you. Its a scene you'll never tire of looking at. The accommodation is perfect for a family of 4 with plenty of room and all conveniences available including a few extra non-standard items (iPod dock, Play station & Dvd's for the evenings). Booking up was very straightforward, and the directions very easy to follow. Argegno is a lovely little village, and the walk down to the bars and restaurants each night was all part of the holiday experience. All in all a great introduction to this beautiful corner of the Italian Lakes. Thoroughly recommended !

"Relaxed and well taken care of on Lake Como"
The service we received was second to none, David and Lorraine shared their insider/local knowledge which made our stay even more enjoyable. The home was perfectly described and when we arrived it was as promised, which makes a refreshing change. The terrace was huge and indeed exceeded our expectations. The location of the apartment was perfect and peaceful. Bakery, general shop and lovely coffee bars were an easy stroll away. The best parts were the location, peace and quality of the accommodation and care from David and Lorraine. What we liked least...going home...

"wonderful honeymoon"
I am now only getting to write a review of this wonderful apartment that I visited in Sept of this year. We were looking for somewhere really special to celebrate our honeymoon and we were not disappointed. We had spent our first week in Lake Garda and it was really lovely but Lake Como is by far much more romantic and so much more authentically Italian. We fell in love with this place the minute we arrived. The apartment was absolutely magnificent. We couldn't bear to take ourselves away form the mesmerizing Lake views. Breakfast in bed took on a whole new meaning once those shutters were lifted in the mornings and the Lake was there in "HD" ...just jawbreakingly stunning. The level of finish to the apartment was truly wonderful. This place definitely didn't feel like an "average" holiday let as the attention to even the smallest details were not overlooked. The soft furnishings throughout the property are lovely and the the place was absolutely spotless inside and out. It was so nice to have the private garden especially in the evenings when we chilled out with a nice glass of wine and watched the lights come on all across the Lake. We also loved the small pool and for most of the week anytime we used it we had it to ourselves. We have just booked again for next summer and looking forward to doing it all over again without the stresses of a wedding! David and Lorraine once again we cant thank you enough for all your help and assistance in making our honeymoon truly memorable. Flo and Brian.

"It's all about the view!"
We enjoyed a relaxing fortnight in argegno and around Lake Como. The welcome from David and Lorraine was warm and very genuine; it felt like staying in their home rather than a holiday rental. The advice that David gave us on arrival over a drink in the village square was very helpful and ensured that we made the most of our time. We especially enjoyed using the ferries to visit places, Bellagio topping our list of places to see, closely followed by the markets in Lenno & Como. Our only other advice would be that the walk to & from the village would be challenging to anyone who has difficulty with steep hills & steps!

"What a view"
The view from both balconies really was as good as the photographs on the website. Loved the walk down to the village through the cobbled laneways, greeting the locals. Fantastic bakery, friendly fruit and veg man, and in the piazza,the best icecreams and 5 o'clock drinks. The kitchen was well fitted out, and family items around the house made it feel more homely than most rentals. And David went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay comfortable and fun.

Just over the hill from McLaren Vale, on a beautiful road winding past Kuitpo Forest, lies Top Note, a premium cool climate Adelaide Hills vineyard.
Top Note Vineyard is a world apart from the vale, sitting at 330m elevation. Altitude and exposure to cool south-easterlies blowing up off the Southern Ocean keep us up to 10 degrees cooler than our neighbours in the vale, allowing us to grow cool climate varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and our rare Red Semillon as well as producing elegant Shiraz and beautifully structured Cabernet Sauvignon.
Top Note sells grapes under contract to wineries including Kangarilla Road and Sidewood. Small parcels of hand-selected fruit are picked to make wine under the Top Note label; see our Wines page for more information or our purchasing page to find out where to buy our wines.
Tastings are available at our cellar door.

Microsoft, Yahoo! change search landscape
Posted on 30-Jul-2009 13:48
Filed under:
Web media
Yahoo! and Microsoft announced an agreement that promises to improve the Web search experience for users and advertisers, and deliver sustained innovation to the industry.
In simple terms, Microsoft will now power Yahoo! search while Yahoo! will become the exclusive worldwide relationship sales force for both companies premium search advertisers.
Microsoft will acquire an exclusive ten year license to Yahoo!s core search technologies, and Microsoft will have the ability to integrate Yahoo! search technologies into its existing web search platforms. Microsofts Bing will be the exclusive algorithmic search and paid search platform for Yahoo! sites. Yahoo! will continue to use its technology and data in other areas of its business such as enhancing display advertising technology.
Self-serve advertising for both companies will be fulfilled by Microsofts AdCenter platform, and prices for all search ads will continue to be set by AdCenters automated auction process.
Each company will maintain its own separate display advertising business and sales force. Yahoo! will continue to syndicate its existing search affiliate partnerships.
For Web users and advertisers, this deal will accelerate the pace and breadth of innovation by combining both companies complementary strengths and search platforms into a market competitor with the scale to fuel sustained development in search and search advertising. Users will find what they care about faster and with more personal relevance. Microsofts competitive search platforms will lead to more value for advertisers, better results for web publishers, and increased innovation and efficiency across the Internet.
This agreement comes with boatloads of value for Yahoo!, our users, and the industry. And I believe it establishes the foundation for a new era of Internet innovation and development, said Yahoo! Chief Executive Officer Carol Bartz. Users will continue to experience search as a vital part of their Yahoo! experiences and will enjoy increased innovation thanks to the scale and resources this deal provides. Advertisers will also benefit from scale and enjoy greater ease of use and efficiencies working with a single platform and sales team for premium advertisers. Finally, this deal will help us increase our investments in priority areas in winning audience properties, display advertising capabilities and mobile experiences.
Providing a viable alternative to advertisers, this deal will combine Yahoo! and Microsoft search marketplaces so that advertisers no longer have to rely on one company that dominates more than 70 percent of all search. With the addition of Yahoo!s search volume, Microsoft will achieve the size and scale required to unleash competition and innovation in the market, for consumers as well as advertisers.
Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer said the agreement will provide Microsofts search engine, Bing, the scale necessary to more effectively compete, attracting more users and advertisers, which in turn will lead to more relevant ads and search results.
Through this agreement with Yahoo!, we will create more innovation in search, better value for advertisers and real consumer choice in a market currently dominated by a single company, said Ballmer. Success in search requires both innovation and scale. With our new Bing search platform, weve created breakthrough innovation and features. This agreement with Yahoo! will provide the scale we need to deliver even more rapid advances in relevancy and usefulness. Microsoft and Yahoo! know theres so much more that search could be. This agreement gives us the scale and resources to create the future of search.
The agreement does not cover each companys web properties and products, email, instant messaging, display advertising, or any other aspect of the companies businesses. In those areas, the companies will continue to compete vigorously.

Also known as: Transthoracic echocardiogram, TTE, Doppler echocardiogram, Transesophageal echocardiogram, TEE, Echocardiography, cardiac ultrasound, Intracardiac ECHO (ICE)
An echocardiogram (also called an echo) is a type of ultrasound test that uses high-pitched sound waves that are sent through a device called a transducer. The device picks up echoes of the sound waves as they bounce off the different parts of your heart. These echoes are turned into moving pictures of your heart that can be seen on a video screen. The different types of echocardiograms are:
Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE).
This is the most common type. Views of the heart are obtained by moving the transducer to different locations on your chest or abdominal wall.
Stress echocardiogram.
During this test, an echocardiogram is done both before and after your heart is stressed either by having you exercise or by injecting a medicine that makes your heart beat harder and faster. A stress echocardiogram is usually done to find out if you might have decreased blood flow to your heart (coronary artery disease, or CAD).
Doppler echocardiogram.
This test is used to look at how blood flows through the heart chambers, heart valves, and blood vessels. The movement of the blood reflects sound waves to a transducer. The ultrasound computer then measures the direction and speed of the blood flowing through your heart and blood vessels. Doppler measurements may be displayed in black and white or in color.
Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE).
For this test, the probe is passed down the esophagus instead of being moved over the outside of the chest wall. TEE shows clearer pictures of your heart, because the probe is located closer to the heart and because the lungs and bones of the chest wall do not block the sound waves produced by the probe. A sedative and an anesthetic applied to the throat are used to make you comfortable during this test. Echo can be used as part of a stress test and with an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) to help your doctor learn more about your heart.

Acts 3:11-16New King James Version (NKJV)
Preaching in Solomon's Portico
11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly amazed. 12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: "Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. 14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. 16 And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

Letter: Pew eco-label study 'disappointing'
By SeafoodSource staff
Published on Friday, December 09, 2011
Editor's note: The following is a letter to the editor submitted by Neil Sims, co-founder, president and co-CEO of Kampachi Farms in Hawaii. It's in response to the SeafoodSource story "New report ranks farmed finfish eco-labels," which ran on Wednesday.
John Volpe, SERG, and Pew are to be applauded for their noble ambition in conducting an assessment of sustainability certification systems. Lord knows, we all could use some objective evaluation of the multitude of standards and seals and certificates. And if we in industry feel that way, then pity the poor retailer, or consumer!
However, the interpretation by Volpe and colleagues of the results of this study, and their pronouncements to the press on their findings, are deeply disappointing. Instead of objective evaluation of the data, the significance of these findings seems to have been skewed by preconceptions and prejudices.
The study finds that there is very little difference between conventional marine fish farming practices and the sustainability certification standards, and implies that this is a bad thing. This lack of "value added" to the labels, the study authors say, means that certified farms are not greatly outperforming "status quo" operations. This reflects, they conclude, a "lack of strong, measurable standards."
But this interpretation appears to be based on a presumption that conventional marine fish farming is itself "bad." If you live in British Columbia, that might be the conventional wisdom, but that is exactly why we need certification standards and academic studies — to rise above the fixed mindset, to ask honest questions, and to answer them objectively.
Might we ask how else these results could be interpreted if we disavow such a loaded presumption? Let us instead make no a priori value judgment on fish farming. Rather, let us presume that the sustainability standards reviewed by the report were, in the main, earnest attempts by well-meaning stakeholders to define what they collectively considered to be acceptable environmental impacts. Many of these standards were developed through multi-stakeholder processes; eight of them are organic standards. So it is hard to think that Naturland or Soil Association standards were somehow collectively watered down under the weight of some pernicious pressure from corporate aquaculture.
So then, if conventional marine fish farms are actually very close to our collective aspirational ideal of a sustainable food system, perhaps that is rather a very good thing. The close similarities between "status quo" and "certified sustainable" might, in fact, reflect that marine fish farms have relatively low impacts, compared with our expectations for an animal protein production system. This was indeed the finding of the "Blue Frontiers" report by Conservation International and WorldFish Center earlier this year, which concluded that (I'm paraphrasing loosely here) of all the animal protein production systems on the planet, aquaculture was hands down the lowest impact.
I think that we should be celebrating such findings, instead of bemoaning them. And then we might want to consider how to responsibly scale this industry, instead of beating aquaculture incessantly with whatever stick comes to hand.
This alternative interpretation doesn't allow marine fish farmers to sit back smugly on their laurels; there is a fundamental principle to most of these standards that asserts that farms should always strive for continuous improvement, and the standards themselves should scribe an arc of increasing rigor. Any farmer worth his salt, or his fish, should always be striving to better his operation, and that usually means a lower fishprint; lower environmental impacts are better for the farm and the fish.
So perhaps the environmental NGOs need to reassess their position. Perhaps responsible aquaculture is truly the most sustainable, environmentally sound option, of all those out there. Perhaps continuing to deride or de-market aquaculture — and limiting the growth of the least-impact option — is actually making our planet a poorer place. Maybe anti-aquaculture activists are actually anti-environmentalists.
Professor Volpe and colleagues have only web-published this study, to allow for regular, ongoing review and updates. That is most helpful. We look forward to seeing revisions of these findings that reflect some more scientific objectivity in the interpretation of the data. And we look forward to using such tools to help us all get better at what we do — grow fish, sell them, consume them or measure their impacts.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 79 reviews
Amazing boutique hotel with a very friendly staff. I left my wallet in the safe and they were so helpful with returning my things to me in another country. Thank you!
Nice little boutique hotel in the museumplein district of Amsterdam. The two front desk associates that I saw were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is quite small and some upkeep is needed but has excellent amenities. Free coffee, tea etc downstairs and a fridge and coffee maker upstairs. Free drinks and candy in the room that were refilled daily. Room was suitable to our needs and standard for what you would expect in a boutique hotel. The bathroom did have a shower and a large tub but was quite small. Centrally located to the Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum and others however a trek to anything else. Although the 5 tram cuts right through almost everything and takes you right to centraal station. The airport express bus also picks you up right next to the music hall for quick access to the airport. 5 euro for that.
Interesting concept with rooms in styles from different countries and very nice owner who is extremely helping.
Would definitely stay there again. Very nice hot breakfast each morning for 12.50 Euros
The room is quite small. Lighting not enough. The hotel is close to tram stations.
