Welcome to this Lake Como video. In this video I will share all the important tips you need to know before planning your next trip to Lake Como. Join me during my time at Lake Como 🇮🇹!
To give you the inspiration you need for your travel itinerary, here’s what I did during my time at lake como, but first some useful tips about Lake Como!
Useful tips and information about Lake Como
– First, it is good to know that Lake Como is very large and that this should not be underestimated. The lake is formed in an inverted Y and the most visited places like Bellagio and Varenna are in the center of the lake.
– Visiting all the different places can be done by taking the ferry and for more distant places there is a hydrofoil, for example from the town of Como to Bellagio.
– Villa’s
I will write down some of the villa’s and the entre price.
Villa Carlotta 15,- euro’s
Villa del Balbianello 23,- euro’s
Villa Monastero 13,- euro’s
Villa Melzi 8,- euro’s
– If you booked a hotel with a swimming pool because you als wan’t to relax during your stay at the lake, then keep in mind that the mainland surrounding the lake, consists of mountains. Therefore most towns on the eastern side of the lake are often located at the bottom of the hills like Varenna, Mandello and Lecco. Here the mountain provides shade most of the time during the morning and when the sun is high enough at noon the sun will come out. On the western side of the lake (towns such as Menaggio, Tremezzo, Lenno and Moltrasio), will have sun almost all day. It’s just something to think about if you want to take this into account during your stay.
– Scooter or boat rental.
If you want to see more of the lake and the surrounding villages, it is of course also possible to rent a scooter or to hear a boat for a few hours. One of the nicest things to do is to ride a typical Italian Vespa and drive along the beautiful towns of the lake. In Bellagio you will find the scooter rental company Bellagio Scooters for rent and in Menaggio you will find the rental company Lake Como Scooter Rent.
Do you want to go on the lake with a boat, you can do that and without a license! For more information visit the Bellagio Yacht Experience website
– Boat excursion. Would you rather enjoy a boat tour, the you can also choose for Bellagio Yacht Experience or Bellagio Water Limousines
– Hotel links. We stayed in Hotel Villa Marie, I believe that the price and quality ratio is very good about this hotel and the location is perfect. The facilities are good, the hotel offers a swimming pool with sunbeds, good parking facilities such as a parking garage and a nice breakfast. The walking distance to the ferry is 8 min and the hotel is located in the heart of Tremezzo.
If you have a little more money to spend and want to experience complete luxury then I would recommend you to stay at Grand Hotel Tremezzo. This is one of the most luxurious hotels at the lake and without a doubt the most beautiful hotel we have seen so far.
– Restaurants: I would recommend the following restaurants
Bellagio: Ristorante Suisse, Ristorante Alle Darsene di Loppia and Ristorante Bilacus.
Varenna bar Il Molo, Al Prato Restaurant and restaurant Du Lac.
Tremezzo Ristorante La Darsena and Ristorante La Terrazza Gualtiero Marchesi in Grand Hotel Tremezzo and La Cucina della Marianna located in Griante.
