Beerman--Unfortunately I've never been to Italy, so can't help you. I really hope you can get some help, but regardless, really looking forward to hearing all about it!!

Life is good! I think your plan will be amazing! We are in the final throws of our Spain trip. I think everything will be nailed down by the end of the week.

Mike, we really like the lakes we've been to there, Maggiore, Garda, Lugano...but very excited to see Como! At first, we looked at places in some of the popular towns for convenient train travel but decided to keep the car after Piedmont. This opened up our choices, only must have is a parking space and preferably access to a ferry. We found a great place in Nesso, probably relatively close to where you stay.
Tom, you are going to your happy place, so Life Is Good!!

Have done the boat trip from Como to Bellagio, is a very nice ride. They have a fast boat + slow boat, beware it sells out very quickly (took the fast boat and assumed we could get tickets for the return fast boat but it was sold out!). https://www.navigazionelaghi.it/Also the underground parking lot was crazy expensive in Como, lots of nice cars tho.

We plan to hike to Portofino! Did you do any hiking in that area? Rick, No, haven’t been in northern Italy since late double oughts, and no hikes..We did do lots of walking on the islands of the Tyrrhenian Sea last year, but that was while looking for restaurants, bars, groceries, and following the ladies who were lost while shopping!🤪. And our land based hikes in Tuscany were limited to following a truffle hunting dog. Enjoy your Italy trip.

Lake Como was our favorite place during our 2019 Italy trip! We rented an Airbnb apartment in Varenna for 3 nights and took the ferry to visit some of the other towns surrounding the lake (including Bellagio). Great gelato everywhere. Wonderful food. Friendly people. I’m sure you’re there already, but do enjoy your trip. We loved Italy and can’t wait to go back.

Trying to figure out a nice hike above the lake, right now I'm thinking Monte san Primo loop. looks like an awesome view at 5500 feet. If you know of a mountain hike or anyone else, please let me know! Ciao!

Didn’t do it, but did hear good things about the Monte san Primo loop. We did a ton of walking, but no actual hiking (bad back). Post pics if you do it. Have fun!
