Lecco is Highlighted in U.S. Publication Traveling Boy

[California, USA, 17/12/2022] Award-winning travel writer Richard Carroll recently featured the Italian destination of Lecco, Lake Como, in the latest article of his series about destinations on “the road less traveled.” The piece was published on Travelingboy.com, one of America’s most popular online travel publications, with a yearly web readership of 6 million. The article features stunning photography by Halina Kubalski and mentions local businesses such as Celia Abernethy of MilanoStyle for itinerary design, Elena Pettinicchio of Taste & Travel for guided tours, Mamma Ciccia’s Cooking Academy and Taxi Boat Varenna for unique experiences, and Hotel Il Perlo Panorama in Bellagio for its cuisine and spectacular views.

The article beautifully describes the setting and scenery of Lake Como and highlights the contrast between the bustling tourist town of Bellagio and the requiescence of Lecco.
In the article, Carroll recommends that readers explore Lecco, “To enhance and retain the magic of Lake Como and gently slip away from the tourist trail, the town of Lecco, a 30-minute drive from Bellagio on the eastern branch of the lake, where Lake Como narrows to form the Adda River, is an unspoiled and authentic homebase unfamiliar to most Lake Como visitors.”

Richard Carroll has won eight prestigious writing awards, co-authored four travel books, written for television, and published short stories. He said, “It was a true pleasure discovering this beautiful part of Italy. It will remain a treasured memory.”

The visit was coordinated by Celia Abernethy of MilanoStyle a travel consultant specializing in custom itineraries for Milan and Lake Como. She says, “Lecco is a hidden gem, and I’m thrilled that Richard Carroll has brought it to light in his beautiful article. I often recommend Lecco to clients looking for an off-the-beaten-path destination that is still relatively unknown. It’s the perfect mix of scenic beauty, small-town charm, and big-city accessibility.”

Dear Richard and Halina, this is, in my opinion, your finest travel writing so far. Wonderful, and the best on the internet.

We visited Lake Como when pregnant with our first child, 25 years ago. Amazing place. Scrolling thru Halina’s pictures just now gave me reassurance that it has not lost its charm!
