- Location Description
-
This beautiful Lake Como villa is located just 1 km from the town of Menaggio, which can be reached by foot in about 25 minutes. Menaggio, the largest town in the central lake area, which includes Varenna and Bellagio, has Roman origins and boasts a charming historic center. The town is a “local” haunt, as well as a tourist destination. It has a very nice lakefront promenade with the largest Lido on the lake, Lido Giardino Menaggio, which has a large pool (25m), children’s pool, and a beach with sun loungers, lake access, volley ball, playground and a pizzeria. There is very good public transportation via buses and ferries. Bellagio and Varenna are also important to visit, even if the former is filled with tourists during the summer season. Varenna is lovely with a wonderful lakeside promenade and the Villa Monastero.
Nearby Attractions: Be sure to utilize the Tourist Office in the main square of Piazza Garibaldi. They can give you lots of helpful information, including timetables, brochures, maps and current events in the area. Also, visit the surrounding villages, including Porlezza (on the way to Lugano) and Val Solda, a string of small villages referred to as the “Piccolo Mondo Antico.” The Tremezzina area is worth a trip, as well, with wonderful little villages, such as Carlotta and Balbianello, with beautiful villas to visit.

Customer Reviews
Overall:
The villa is a perfect place for a large family gathering. It is in great shape, in good taste, and beautifully run.
Enjoyed Most:
The location, overlooking Lake Como, is dreamy. There is plenty of communal space as well as many ways to find peace and quiet. Laura, the manager, is phenomenal - she can help with taxis, boats, restaurants, covid tests, basically anything.
Enjoyed Least:
No real weaknesses. Kayak access to the lake was not ideal.
Surrounding Area:
The proximity to a nice little town, with a bakery, cafe's, access to boat rides to neighboring towns, etc., was a real plus.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Menaggio. Yes, a nice 15 mins walk.
Tips or Restaurants:
Nothing special - you won't need much.
Directions:
No problem.
Check In Out:
All very pleasant.

Overall:
Everything was perfect. Meeting our manager, being shown the property, directions, all went smoothly. The property was immaculate inside and out. It was furnished beautifully. The view was fabulous. We had stayed at Lake Como prior at Villa d'Este and the Grand Hotel Tremezzo--both 5 star properties. This was equally well located on the lake and near to town.
Enjoyed Most:
Our children and grandchildren had not been to Lake Como prior, and all wanted to return. We loved the property itself and the location. The 7 bikes were well used. We were happy to stay in as well as tour the area. The property was so pleasantly furnished and decorated, modern and chic. We will recommend it to others.
Enjoyed Least:
Not a thing to be negative about .
Surrounding Area:
We liked the proximity to town, coffee shops, restaurants, ferries, and boat rental.
Nearby Events or Locales:
We walked often into Menaggio for coffee and dinners.
Tips or Restaurants:
No. We would have golfed had we had a longer stay. We did rent a private boat for a tour of the lake. Our children loved riding bikes past north and jumping off a cliff into the lake.
Directions:
We used our iPhone gps coming from Lucca without any issues.
Check In Out:
No, it was smooth.
