These pics are beautiful and should be on Flickr.
I love the balcony shot with the wicker chair.....I can see myself sitting there facing the lake...watching the changing colours of the scenery as the light fades.
Is that your Mum and Dad in picture three of the third set?

It is them Margaret - we went to have a short break with them 2 years ago.
Try Googling Hotel Gardenia Gargnano - they have a very interesting website -you can read it in English too. It is a lovely Hotel -perfect for a romantic break! The little village has added interest as DHLawrence stayed there while finishing his book Sons and Lovers
Also Mussolini lived there between 1943-45 in a place called Villa Feltrini. The hotel was a private house then and was comandeered by him to house some of his ministers.
