Wonderful location
Listening to the water lapping on the shore was the icing on the cake. Great location, walkable to so many things, including the ferry to the other towns. Good restaurants near by. Beautiful little town.

Perfect location
This was the perfect location in the most wonderful town. Easy walking access to ferry, restaurants, grocery and bakeries. We loved it here so much we asked to stay an additional night. The balcony was our favorite spot. We loved hearing the sounds of Menaggio. The motorcycles are noisy at night on the weekends as we kept the windows open but this location was perfect. The host was so kind to come help us when we had a small issue and we enjoyed his helpful knowledge of the area.

Fantastic location
Everyone loved Menaggio and this place was right on the lake. We walked downstairs and were in the lake. The town is small and everything we needed or wanted was right there.

Menaggio stay
Location Location Location! Close to the ferry and the main shops. The place was roomy with multiple couches. The View was everything!!! The major downside for us was the lack of air conditioning.

Four friends visit Menaggio
Great views, loved the easy access from the ferry which made the location particularly good for visitors without a car. The bedroom with twin beds is very small and would be better for children but we did ok. Fans are provided which we really appreciated. Staff in the office were wonderful and very helpful.

The property had many issues , but view and location terrific! Furniture, kitchen, bathroom all need upgrades as they are very old and dirty. Not enough cups and glasses and limited cookware. Property managers were responsive and helpful

Great Location
The only reason this didn’t get a 5 is because of the listing information. 1) The “private beach” is unusable. Trash and debris made it impossible to enjoy but we weren’t there to swim. 2) There is NO parking. Menaggio in general has very limited parking. We literally spent 3 hours of our first day driving around hoping a paid or free spot would open up (we arrived on a Monday, the end of May) We finally found a spot 1 mile away in an alley. We managed to move it closer, a couple times, over our three night stay but still it was a long way away especially with luggage. If we visit this area again we will leave the car and use the train/bus/ferry as we have in the past. Great location and spectacular lake views.

We were a group of 16 people staying in Menaggio and really enjoyed our stay. The views from the property are beautiful and ideal location to explore. We did have some trouble communicating with the office but once we got in contact, they allowed us to store our bags after checkout which was greatly appreciated!

Accommodations
Well main down side of the property is absence of A/C, and believe me in the scorching heat aren't fun at all. Location is perfect. Lake view from terrace stunning. As to the office staff rather disappointed. There was no introduction of the area grocery shopping, get around, property rules, emergency procedures, private beach access?!? We were handed an envelop with two sets of keys, from rather stone cold receptionist (office is located next door to property entrance) without any courtesy at all?!? Pretty much felt like we weren't welcome at all?!? Even for the internet access I had to go back to the office for assistance.

Fantastic view from balcony.
Well positioned, with easy reach of cafe, restaurant, shops and ferry. Not luxurious, but most essentials in place for a comfortable stay. Fantastic position for views of sunrise and sunset over the lake from the balcony and you can swim from a small beach below / lakeside. The late night noise from mopeds/scooters, revving at the traffic lights, below the bedrooms might put light sleepers off!

Beautiful!
Stunning view. Wonderful staff. Convenient location. Only advice would be to not visit at the end of November, as nothing is open. However, if you want a laid back vacay with an amazing view, this is the place.

Perfect location & setting
The 2 of us were travelling through northern Italy by train, so we wanted to stay somewhere within walking distance of the ferry...and preferably with a lakefront view. This unit was perfect on both counts: a 5-minute walk from the ferry and a huge picture window looking over Lake Como, Bellagio, and Varenna. It wass fun watching the ferries and boats come and go. One afternoon it rained, and we simply relaxed in the apartment enjoying the view.The unit is also about 2 blocks from Menaggio's historic district and restaurants, and there's a supermarket nearby too. While the unit is clean and the view is stunning, it is sparsely furnished with some rather beat-up couches and tables. There are two living rooms. The interior room, with no windows, has seating for 5 and a TV. The other room, a combination living room/dining room/kitchen, is very large and bright. It also has seating for 5 plus a dining table seating 6. The balcony now has 4 wicker chairs and a wicker bench. The two bedrooms with twin/king beds face the street, near a traffic light, so there's some traffic noise, although this dies down at night (this is Menaggio, after all, not Milan). I used a white noise app on my phone which helped. The dark red curtains do a good job blocking light. The third bedroom has two somewhat uncomfortable twin mattresses and no window--there are some glass blocks in the wall between the bedroom and the larger living room. It would be fine for children but probably uncomfortable for adults. We didn't cook in the unit, so we can't really comment on how well the kitchen is equipped, but if there's something you think you'll need, ask before booking. There is no microwave; there is an American-style drip coffeemaker. One bathroom has a washer, iron, ironing board, and drying rack. The unit is directly over the property manager's office, and the staff were very helpful with advice about the unit and the area. The check-out list says to put trash in the "bins." We found out these refer to town recycling bins a block away. While you're in Menaggio, check them out so you know how to sort your trash, and allow time to take the trash down there before you leave. Altogether we really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this unit for the location, view, and service. But if you want a place that's nicely furnished, you may want to look elsewhere.

Great apartment in perfect location
We spent eight nights in Menaggio, and the apartment and location were perfect for us. You can easily stay here without the need for a car, as the ferry terminal to all the local sight and villages is a short walk away. Menaggio has all of the conveniences that you would need - supermarket, bank, restaurants, bars and cafes, and shops for holiday shopping. The apartment is clean and bright, and was perfect for us (two couples), with large rooms and plenty of space. The view from the living room and small patio is amazing. The apartment contained everything that you would need for a great holiday stay. Hope to get back there. Thanks

Es lebt vom Ort..
Alles in allem sehr schön, besonders natürlich die Lage! Buchung, Kommunikation und alles war super..Aber: Die Möbel sind alt, die Couches zerschlissen und zum Teil extra mit einem Tuch abgedeckt..auf manchen kann man nicht sitzen. Die Ausstattung der Küche ist mager..Alles ist bis auf den Löffel abgezählt (6 Personen möglich, aber nur fünf Löffel, ist sehr sparsam eingerichtet). Es ist nichts da, keine Basics wie Salz, Pfeffer etc. Selbst bei wenigen Tagen muss alles extra gekauft werden..dafür ein kleines Willkommenspaket mit Wein, Schokolade und anderen Sachen..das war top!
