Where to stay in Lake Como-Leanna or Menaggio

We are going to be in Lake Como at the end of June for weekend. All of the recommended hotels in Vareena are booked. We found two wonderful options in Menaggio or Lenna. They are the same price. Does anyone have a recommendation about which is a better place to settle for two nights?

Never heard of Leanna, but I know of Lenno. I think you should choose Menaggio because of faster and more frequent boat transportation options to both Varenna and Bellagio. Also Menaggio has a direct city bus link to Lugano, which would give you a chance to quickly visit that Swiss city and its lake, if you wish. The bus trip to Lugano I think is well under one hour.

My first stay on Lake Como was at Menaggio's youth hostel, and that town worked great - no regrets. Even if you have a car, you might prefer to rely on the boats for transportation during your stay.
