We have been to Varenna, and absolutely loved it. Returning this summer to Lake Como for 3 days as part a of a larger trip. I have stayed at Hotel du Lac, in Varenna, which is not available for my dates. I booked Hotel Garni Corona, lakeview, in Menaggio. But, will it measure up to Varenna? I am thinking of booking Hotel Royal Victoria (not lakeview), in Varenna. Advice?

That is a hard choice! Menaggio has a lovely lakefront promenade. You already know Varenna's passarella. While a lake view room at the Hotel Garni Corona is dreamy, the public areas/terrace at Hotel Royal Victoria are luxurious, too. There are probably more choices or shops and restaurants in Menaggio, if that matters to you. You've checked Hotel du Lac under it's new name, Casa du Lac??

I stayed at the Garni Corona in Menaggio. Loved the hotel and the location. Free classical concert on Piazza Garibaldi, around the corner, every evening (June/July).. And no problem finding a free table at a restaurant. I recommend it.
