erb923, thanks! we are staying in Nesso and have a free parking space. Nesso offers a ferry, it takes 1hr 28min to get to Bellagio making several stops in between, could be interesting to see the lake and small towns that way for only $5pp. Knowing us, we probably won't decide on Lake Como itinerary until we actually set foot there. We are interested in spending 1/2 days hopping between Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio, probably take the $3 bus or $30 taxi to Bellagio from Nesso? A boat tour on a classic mahogany boat is on the wish list!
