Vista point
👍👍 Great hike with the best views of lake Como! Starting from Tremezzo, it takes ~4hr, with steep parts at the beginning and the end, but completely doable for everyone who enjoys hiking.

Bellagio Rent a Boat
Boat rental service
👍👍 Boat was great, lake is magical, rental company was great to work with. We rented the boat for 3 hours, was enough time but if you like to swim more, rent it for 4. We went this route cuz the other boats to hire were more expensive and thought it would be more fun this way. We enjoyed, sure we miss...
