If you are going to Como, stay in Menaggio! Not as crazy busy as Varona and Bellagio. The Hotel was in a perfect location above a square, right on the lake, with cafe's and restaurants and shops. Beautiful views of the lake! Great service, super friendly staff. We had a lake view room, it was spacious and comfortable and clean, and great AC! The rooftop pool is tiny but a nice addition for a quick dip on a hot day.
