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!!
