Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

Garden redemption day! Visited Villa Taranto in Verbania, “one of Europe’s greatest botanical gardens” according to AI. Some things were past their peak (rhododendrons 🥲) but there were plenty of things blooming. Had an awesome sushi lunch then drove to Bevano where we left the car and ferried to the third (of 3) Borromeo island – Isola dei Pescatori. Another redemption, we stayed here years ago in a torrential downpour and today was gorgeous! Enjoyed bubbles and foam on the beautiful wisteria and rose covered terrace then dinner there later.
