Great View of the lake and Ferry port. Nearby restaurants were great and we had the included breakfast in the square each morning at the Restaurant Touring Cafe. It was excellent with 6 different menu choices for us. We were easily able to walk through Como's old town area. Location of our unit was excellent. We had a gourmet lunch at nearby restaurant, La Vita Bella Restaurante Saladerie, plus there was an excellent pizza restaurant in square outside the building for some of the best pizza in town according to Samual. We ate there the first night - it was delicious and had a very large variety of pizza options.

Como is absolutely over crowded with tourists, this was mid October. It was a 45-60 minute queue waiit to buy a ferry ticket and same to get on if your lucky. We went to Bellagio via local bus C130 and returned by ferry much easier to get ticket . Lots of good Restraunt’s.

Como very busy and it was October can’t imagine it in summer was lovely travelling around by ferry everyday very relaxing and beautiful scenery with the mountains all around plenty of public transport to get around and nice restaurants too

Lake Como is beautiful but too crowded for this time of the year and the parking sucks! There are bunch of little cities around the Lake, like Bellagio, Lecco, Varenna, Tremezzo, Menaggio , and our favorite was Tremezzo!

Como boasts of an interesting city centre which can be explored in about 2 days , together with a beautiful lakeside promenade ideal for a walk, a couple of parks and a few stunning villas by the lake. It is also a good base from which one can explore the picturesque towns and villages on the lake. However being at the southern tip of the lake, travelling to the northern part of the lake or the Lecco branch of the lake takes quite a long time. Plenty of restaurants which can be a bit pricey, but the food is delicious. On the negative side, even at the end of the tourist season queues for the ferries and the Brunate funicular can be quite long at certain times of the day

Lakeside walking, boat tour, finicular experience and trekking to lighthouse (even in the rain) , good Italien food & wine, nice narrow shopping streets, silk products are the things that made our holiday great.
