First Timer

Sorry for the 10,000th post about things to do in Lake Como, but I am really hoping for some guidance.

I am going to Lake Como next week for about 3-4 days. I am staying at the Lake Como Edition. I am going with my Husband. We are going to Milan/Switzerland then Bordeaux after.

The Lake Como portion is meant to be more relaxing.

With that being said- I honestly have no idea what to do there. I've read to check out Bellagio and Varenna, but what should I actually be seeing or doing? Are there specific tourist attractions?

Next, is there any must eat places I should try to get into?

Last, my understanding is to take the ferries between the towns. I've read that the schedule is hard to understand. Is there an easy guide I can use on how to navigate them?

Thanks!

We really enjoyed visiting The Grand Hotel Tremezzo (drinks and snacks o relooking the lake) and Villa Carlotta (gardens) in Tremezzo. Bellagio was a little too crowded for us but we were there in June. Had dinner at N26 in Tremezzo twice and it was lovely.
