Minimal driving today. We drove to the end of the road that passes in front of the villa. There was a large hotel and several restaurants. The view was amazing. At the bottom is Lake Lugano and the City of Lugano as well as other communities. We returned to this location for dinner.

Next on the agenda was a walking tour of the village. There is a real mix of housing. Some buildings look like they are about to collapse, some are shuttered (likely part time residences), some well kept homes and some are very expensive villas. The town itself has very few services. Most businesses are restaurants. There doesn't even seem to be a real grocery store.

There is however a couple of churches and a very large cemetery.

Tomorrow we are off to Switzerland. We will be taking the same road down the mountainside as yesterday. Our impression is that this road is actually worse than the Amalfi coast. However, the good thing about this road is lots of guard rails although many are broken and dented.
