We will be staying on Lake Como, with the final evening in Mennagio on May 28. Our friends from Switzerland are leaving to return to Switzerland. We are going onto Florence for 5 nights.
My question is which location would be better to have them drop us, so we can pick up a train. (1) Ferry over to Varenna and take train from there with luggage
(2) They have a car, and could drop us off in Como to take train to Milan-Florence
We will be newbies at that point on the Italian trains.
