Looking for suggestions for best accommodations on Lake Como or Lake Lugano around end of Sep. Hope to have wonderful views, close to restaurants, some walking trails, ??
Lake Como - in Varenna, Hotel du Lac for views of the lake. In Bellagio, probably Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni for views. In Menaggio, Hotel Bellevista lives up to its name.
Lake Lugano - only stayed once, at Hotel Victoria au Lac. Great views. Rooms can be a bit small.
We greatly enjoyed 4-5 nights in Varenna's Hotel Villa Cipressi: https://www.hotelvillacipressi.it/
Great views over Lake Como, short walk to restaurants and the boat dock, excellent hospitality and service.
Also for big views, Hotel Belvedere in Bellagio, on Lake Como
