Lake Como • 4 Day Itinerary?

Hello,

My wife & I are considering visiting Lake Como in late-June for 4-days. It's not an area we know much about, other than the beauty of surrounding landscape. Currently, our plan is to fly in to Milan (MXP), rent a car and drive directly to Lake Como, however we're uncertain what area we should drive to. I would love to get recommendations on where to stay, and then over a 4-day period how to make the most of our time. We're pretty adventurous, but could really use some time to enjoy the peacefulness of the lake.

Thank you!
Greg

Based on the input here and stories in national newspapers, Europe will be jammed this summer, making lodging scarce and expensive. You are pretty late to the game for June, so I'd suggest a priority be to find lodging in the area, then figure out activities. The train from Milan is only an hour to Varenna, and parking can be a challenge, so perhaps considering not having a car.
Good luck and safe travels!
