Our visit to Lake Como 2-4 Feb 24.
We looked at hotels on Lastminute, AirBnb and Wowcher in Como and unfortunately they did not inspire us to book there on this occasion. Lecco on the hand had The Pontevecchio (the old bridge). Great hotel, staff and location.
We hired a car from B-Rent Noleggio Auto they were really helpful and friendly.
Car hire was included in our package for €20, however, this did not include insurance. We paid a further €90 at the airport, we worked out our train tickets (although very reasonably priced) would be slightly more than hiring a car.
We took the train from Lecco up to Veranna on a beautiful day in February. Clear blue sky with the mist lifting off the lake. The ferries take you across to Managgio and Bellagio.
The ‘Veranna’ ice-cream is amazing. And the walkways around the town are fascinating.
The streets and pathways are definitely worth exploring, there are many hidden gems to discover.
Enjoy a coffee and the water front cafes, with a spectacular view of the mountains of nearby Switzerland.
Cross over to Menaggio for lunch. The Hotel du Lac Cafe in Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi has a great lunch menu.
The view of the lake from the ferry crossing. The view from down on the ground was truly amazing but overhead we could hear the Como Seaplane Tours, up there the view must be incredible! Next time we said we definitely book one.
