It is a good base to stay at because it has easy access to buses and ferries so you can move around easily. You can get a ferry to stroll around different villages; Bellagio is a very attractive town at the junction of the two 'legs' of the lake. Other towns to visit are Tremezzo, which is a beautiful little town right across from Bellagio. Menaggio is the main town on the western shore which is another attractive town worth a visit. And then there is Lecco which is the town at the end of the south-eastern branch of the lake. The food is exceptional you can never go wrong especially if you like seafood and pizza. Lake Como can be combined with other stays at nearby lakes such as Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta.
