Hello everyone!
My husband and I are looking to do a trip to Lake Como and Venice in early May. He has to be out in Switzerland for a work meeting so we were thinking I would fly in early morning on Monday to Zurich, meet him there and take a train to Lake Como. We would then spend Tuesday and Wednesday in Como (where TBD, recommendations are greatly appreciated!), take the train to Venice on Thursday morning and then spend Friday and Saturday in Venice and fly back to Atlanta on Sunday. Questions:
1. Is this enough time to do everything?
2. How is the weather in these areas early in May?
3. Where should we stay / what should we do at Lake Como?
4. We currently have reservations at Hotel Danielli in Venice, is this a good location?
Any input or advice you may have would be greatly appreciated. We are in our mid thirties and love to travel...not sure if that helps with any advice! ![]()
THANKS A BUNCH!!

1. I'd spend one less day on Como and one more in Venice.
2. Weather should be fine.
3. Take a boat ride around the lake. My only experience was Hotel Silvio in Bellagio. Out of town a km, very small, terrific kitchen. (Not, in any way, up to the Danielli.)
4. The Danielli is molto spiffy, right on the Grans Canal and a couple of blocks from Piazza San Marco.
