Must see spots:
- Bellagio
- Menaggio
- Varenna
I've been Lucky enough to explore Lake Como over four times, and a lot of the time, I've chosen Menaggio as my base. Why? Because Menaggio is simply the perfect hub for your Lake Como getaway. It's small, offers a range of restaurants and supermarktets, and serves as the ideal Launchpad for day trips to the must see villages. These are the accomodations I've stayed at:

During my stays, I've found the Hotel Dependance in Menaggio to be a Hidden treasure. It has the PERFECT Location and it offers excellent value for your money. Also: dogs are allowed!

During my backpacking trip we booked an Airbnb which also had a very good Location in Menaggio and it was called Appartement casa la Sunta. This is the link to the accommodation: https://www.airbnb.com/trips/v1/010c9008-f242-4fd4-93dc-ee6760a4cb89/ro/RESERVATION2_CHECKIN/HMK5A5DSCE
