This is very interesting. I'm thinking of visiting Lake Como as a stop on a trip mostly by train going north into Switzerland. I can get from Milan to Como by train and from Como to Bellagio by boat, but can I get back to the north-south train route (say in Lugano) easily? From Bellagio, can I boat to Menaggio and train to Lugano from there for instance?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi,
I used to live on Lake Como, in Cernobbio. You may find it best to stay in one place if you like the hotel provided the town is a car and passenger jump off space.
Personally I would stay in Albergo Milano in Varenna. Small, friendly looks out across the lake and cannot be beaten as a small car free, old cobbled lake front town. Has car and passenger ferry and train station!
I had these two links registered as useful recently.

and www.discovercomo.com as recommended on the BBC Holiday site for Lake Como
I think www.varenna.net is the actual Albergo Milano site.
Hope this helps

Hi, I would recommend Varenna, Hotel Milano. Great place to be centered and has a very friendly cat! If you want a map of the place to see where it is, then try this link. Its number 5 on the orange directory. The other hotels in this place are not great I have to say, although the Hotel du Lac I haven't tried as it wa shut in the winter....
