Como Beach Clubs?

Hello!

My 15 year old daughter and I will be in Milan June 19-22. It looks like the weather might switch from pleasant to extremely hot by that time, so I am looking at a day trip (probably Sunday the 21st) to a lake and buying tickets for a beach club. We are staying at the Hilton Milan, which is close to Milan Centrale, and could leave fairly early in the morning. The two options I've found that are easy to book online and seem easy to reach are:

  • Lido di Faggeto Miamilaryo
  • Lido di Moltrasio

We'd like to be able to swim in the lake, and bonus points if the surrounding town is cute and worth a walk through. Has anyone been to either of these beach clubs or towns, or have better recommendations? I am not set on Como, it just appears to be the closest lake with beach clubs. We went to Lake Garda a few years ago and loved it, but have not been to any of the other lakes.

Thank you for any input/suggestions!

I know only the beach at Mandello, but I was there over 40 years ago. I'm not too fond of swimming on lakes. The bottom is rocks and pebbles everywhere. It was ok, but they can call a Lido Miami(Lario) as much as they like but not the Caribbean or Florida for sure.
If swimming is a must for your daughter, maybe you might consider going to a pool in Milan. Bagni Misteriosi, a restored lido, or also the Milanosport-Romano Center are popular. They are in the city and near the city center. Whether you go to the lake or to the beach, on a Sunday is going to be packed if really hot.
