Have been rethinking some plans and rather staying in Lugano after a long train ride from Heidelberg have thought maybe Mennagio would be a better stop over on the way to Varenna next day. Have googled Hotel du Lac but any other suggestions welcomed.
Also cannot find a town map as to where bus station is in conjunction with this hotel or Ferry dock.
we stayed in the Lake Cuomo area in May. We stayed near Bellagio but visited all the towns in the area. We made the drive to Lugano and loved it. I would recommend spending an afternoon there if you get the chance. Once in Veranna you it's easy to hope over to Mennagio if you want to see it.
