"Bei einem Ausflug ins Mendrisiotto bin ich mit dem Postauto nach Meride Paese hochgefahren. Der Spaziergang im Dorf brachte viele Fotosujets vor die Linse. Das Mittagessen bei Sonnenschein auf dem Dorfplatz prima. Der Blick auf den Kirchenturm hat auch gefallen. Der Archäologisches Park in Tremona ist in 30 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar."

"La parola "Bottega Bar" è riduttiva, perché questo è più di un bar. Di fatto è una trattoria. Non hanno solo panini e toast, bensì anche antipasti, primi, secondi e dolci. Tutto fatto in casa. I piatti sono gustosissimi, il servizio è veloce e i prezzi sono accessibili. Il personale che vi lavora è molto cordiale. È molto bello specialmente in primavera-estate, perché ci si può sedere all'aperto, sulla piazzetta, sotto gli ombrelloni."
