We're kicking the weekend off with a very casual beach party on Thursday. However, if you prefer to arrive later or simply spend Thursday exploring, please feel free to do so! We want you to spend the weekend however you wish and are just excited to have you at our wedding on Saturday! Check out the SCHEDULE page for more details.
Trains between Milan and Como are local trains with no seat reservations and no advance purchase discounts. Therefore, you can buy the tickets when you arrive at the train station. If you want to play around with the schedules, go here: http://www.trenitalia.com/tcom-en
The ferry schedules can be found here: http://www.comoanditslake.com/fastcomocolico.htm **Keep in mind these are the off-season schedules. They will run more frequently during high season For ferries between Como, Tremezzo, Bellagio and Cadennabia, click "Ship Como - Colico" and "Ship Colico - Como" To read the schedule, find your starting location on the left-hand column, with all the departure times to the right. Then find your destination to figure out when you'll arrive. Note the ferries in red are express and better for longer travel, like between Como and Tremezzo. You buy tickets when you arrive.
While we recommend staying in one of the two suggestions on the TRAVEL page, here are some other options: 1. Hotel Belvedere - This is a great mid-range option (between GH Tremezzo and GH Cadennabia). Some things to keep in mind: (a) the ferry between Bellagio and Tremezzo comes frequently, but you will need to be okay taking that back and forth for the various events. If you chose to stay here, we can have the boat drop you off after the wedding, since the ferries don't run past midnight but make sure to leave extra time throughout the rest of the weekend. (b) This hotel is a ~8 min walk to the ferry (we tested it out for you)! 2. Hotel La Darsena - This hotel is a 13 room property and a quick walk to GH Tremezzo. We haven't been but it gets great reviews. 3. Hotel La Perla Tremezzo - We know people who have stayed here and loved it! It's only a 6 minute drive to GH Tremezzo but about a 30 minute walk - so you'll need to work with the hotel to book taxis for most events.
