Passalacqua：コモ湖へのラブレター

I’ve been leafing through this book every evening, and the photos of the terraced gardens make me feel like I’m actually sitting by Lake Como. The detailed description of the eighteenth-century estate really transports you. It’s a beautiful, quiet escape from real life.

The history of that eighteenth-century estate is told with such care that I read the whole thing in two evenings. What surprised me most was how the writing about the terraced gardens made me feel like I was actually walking down toward the lake.

The photos of those terraced gardens alone are worth it — I actually sketched the layout to plan a future trip. Reading about the terraced gardens overlooking the lake while it snowed outside was a nice escape.
