The yellow house is our Hotel Primavera in Brissago, quite near the Italian border – which Gerhard also knew from other holidays!!! The Hotel is on the hill overlooking the beautiful lago Maggiore and our balcony had a magnificent view on to the Lago, as you can see. The climate was lovely and mild, and an absolute change from Graubünden, because here we had almost tropical wheather and vegetation and could leave our heavy coats back in the wardrobe….
