Argegno is charming and very well placed in the centre of the lake. You can get to most places on the ferry. Bellagio is very pretty but gets busy with tourists. Isola Comacina is nearby and you can go there for a meal which is supposed to be quite an experience. Villa Carlotta has lovely gardens and a cafe where you can have lunch. Up in the hills there is a restaurant called Locanda Sant' Anna (I think) which is well regarded although we didn't go there. The house we rented had a guestbook where people had made suggestions. On Sundays you can take a paddle steamer around the lake. We enjoyed eating at the restaurant in the piazza on the right hand side if you look from the ferry jetty. There is also a hotel with a lovely setting on the same side as the jetty heading towards Como, but it looked a bit formal. The restaurant of the Hotel Argegno does great pizzas, including takeaways and don't miss the bakery which is up some steps behind the grocers. It's only open in the morning. OH used to walk down from the house each morning for croissants and bread. Lenno, the next town along has a supermarket, and a market once or twice a week. Argegno has a market once a week but it's quite small. Lenno's is much bigger. You can also hire motor boats from the lido in Lenno if you feel like taking one out on the lake. I hope you have a great time.
