The main town, Como, is at one of the feet, with the town of Menaggio at the mid-section or central part of the lake. Forming a triangle with Menaggio at opposite shores are Bellagio and Varenna. All three are within a short distance from each other by ferry.<\/p><p>Popular Bellagio has many fancy shops, a famous hotel, and plenty of tourists. Varenna, by contrast, is a sleepy yet colorful village, with an attractive promenade and many quiet streets for exploring.

5,000, and with welcoming piazzas and outdoor caf\u00e9s overlooking the lake and snow-capped mountains. If you like water activities, there are kayaks and various types of boats to rent. There are clothing stores, wine and cheese shops and a good selection of restaurants at lake level, while charming paths with worn stone staircases lead to neighborhoods in the hills, where ancient fountains, monuments and religious shrines are common sights.\u00a0<\/p><p>Although market day (Friday) is not as impressive as ones we have visited in other places, there is a daily farm-to-table indoor produce venue along with a sizeable grocery for your make-at-home meals, or to purchase some prepared food. Other towns along the lake have their own market days too.<\/p><p>We considered Menaggio as the perfect home base for the week. Sure, there are plenty of sights and activities to enjoy along the lake made possible by the convenient ferry service, but the place we called \u201chome\u201d offers a welcome, quiet and satisfying respite from all other towns, at any time of day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
