We will be staying in Bellagio for 3 days. exploring region, we will have a rental car. Should we take people ferry to Tremezzo or car ferry and later drive west to Stresa? Thanks for your help.

I am quite familiar with using this ferry - - both pedestrian-style, and with a van, to and from Menaggio, Bellagio and Varenna. But I cannot entirely understand your question.<BR><BR>Can you explain further? How are you getting TO Bellagio - - or is that part of the question?<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Sorry we will be staying in Bellagio for 3 days and exploring the area. What is nicer, using the pedestrian ferry and then walking the sites of Varnna & Tremmezzo. Or should we take our car, walk and sight see then drive over to Stresa and sight see? I need coffee to make any more sense, hope I was a little clearer. Thanks REX

Varenna, by foot would seem to be fine.<BR><BR>Tremezzo, perhaps either one, but when I was there in Sep 2000, the Tremezzo stop was closed (temporary?) You can explore a lot along the western "coast" from Menaggio to Tremezzo (Villa Carlotta) to Cernobbio (Villa d'Este) to Como itself. Spend a day out on the lake itself, if you can afford it.<BR><BR>And whatever you do, try to arrange a visit to Villa Balbianello!!!<BR>

I'd recommend leaving your car in Bellagio and taking the ferries to both Varenna and Tremezzo. (Actually, the ferry for Tremezzo goes to the next town, which is a walk of mere minutes to Villa Carlotta and other sites in Tremezzo.)
