Nicely done! We've got 3 days in Lago di Como in a little over a year; can't wait.

Varenna is a great base for Lake Como. There is gorgeous 'Via D'Amore' walk along the shore that forms the backdrop for several Rick Steves clips. Lots of lovely quite restaurants along the water. Amazing views of the full length of the lake from the reasonably priced Hotel Olivedo. It is only a ten minute ferry ride over to Bellagio. Varenna is on the train line for easy access. You can take a train from Varenna to Milan or all the way up to St Moritz in Switzerland.

Thanks for the tips. However, we'll be staying there as a pre-cruise extension for a Viking Rhine cruise that leaves from Basel, so we're staying wherever Viking has reserved. We're doing it after a 2 week cruise from Barcelona to Venice, with 3 days there. We've got a day on our own to get from Venice to Como and are planning to drive it and spend as much of the day as possible and the night at Lake Garda.
