Como Hotel Recommendations

We are 2 couples planning a trip to northern Italy in late September, flying in and out of Milan, and we would like to use Como as our "home base" for part of the trip to explore the lakes region and southern Switzerland. We are looking for a 4 star plus hotel that has queen or king beds (not always easy to find in Europe) and preferably has a lake view in walking distance to good restaurants. We are also open to other suggestions in that general area of nearby towns that meet the same criteria.

Thanks in advance for your help!

hey hey Michael
can't help with como hotels, since where exactly on the lake and dates.
i am going to put a "bee under your bonnet", if you are near lake garda october 2-6 2026 their annual wine festival in bardolino.
vinofestivals.com (festa dell'uva e del vino)
we stayed at hotel nettuno on the lake, parked car, dumped luggage in room and walked down pathway to lake side entrance to festival. free but we paid 20E for a necklace wine holder. so much activities, parade, food everywhere to buy, stands selling local crafts, bardolino wine booths, ferry dock there, restaurants/shops in the small town, benches to sit at, bring small cash euros, we didn't use credit/debit cards, they may accept it now since was several years ago. it was eat drink and be merry.
sunday night they have a firework show over lake. great time, lake & mountain views. enjoy
