Great location on Lake Como. Less touristy then Bellagio but with just as much character. Short walk to restaurants, shops and boat rentals as well as the ferry. Checkin would’ve been a bit easier at the building site but understand the logistics would be more difficult to coordinate (you’re most likely getting there by car so it wasn’t the easiest place to stop and get the keys). Good supply of towels and place was clean; view off balcony makes us want to come back!

The property is fabulous, spacious, spotless, well appointed. You will need a car to get there. The property mgmt company is top class, very responsive, very accommodating, and helpful.

We loved staying in this apartment in Menaggio. It was a little challenging to find the correct apartment at first because the directions weren't very accurate. It was light and bright and well equipped. They forgot to give us bathroom amenities but fixed the problem as soon as they knew about it. There are a lot of stairs which we knew going in and was fine for us. Just a warning if that could be a problem for someone wanting to rent the apartment. So great having a parking spot! Such an easy walk to and from town!!!! We even enjoyed a couple fresh figs from an outside tree. We would stay here again.

We hebben genoten Tip : in de advertentie vermelden dat het appartement op de derde verdieping ligt het traplopen is niet alles maar het uitzicht vanuit het appartement maakt alles goed Repareer voor de volgende gasten de sloten van badkamer deuren Het bad functioneert ook niet

The apartment was spectacular, especially the view from the terrace! Although no AC the fans greatly helped and were in each room. There are 75 steps to the apartment after walking up a hill from the city center (10 minutes each way). This is not difficult but should be mentioned. Not fun to bring luggage up though. It was much appreciated to have the croissants were very nice and the prosecco was fantastic! It would have been great to have bottled water. Also there were no paper towels of even a sponge to wash dishes with. Complaints were Management Office issues: -Procuring Keys, the directions from the Ferry were 'upside down' on map when one reads a map as North is up (right turn) and south is down (left turn) -directions to property had no street number listed (had to look at photographs. -Key to gate was not at the Gate but on the road leading into property (this should have been mentioned). -The actual Key to apartment was not the one told to me for the front door, thank goodness the proper key was on the key chain! -The actual front door was not the one of three doors that was on the right (marked on photograph), but on the left.(minor of course, but after all the other issues, this was another irritation) -wifi was not activated even though I asked for wifi info at check-in. I had to wait until the next day and walk down to office where it was flippantly mentioned they would "reup" the wifi. Why wasn't it done when I checked in for the week? This was extremely inconvenient as i had family coming and could not contact them unless I was at a restaurant.

matelas "fatigués" très inconfortables surtout les deux lits doubles ; volet et store d'un velux de chambre cassés (hyper chaud, encore plus difficile de dormir) ; absence de parasols (il y avait les pieds !) ; plusieurs prises de courant ne fonctionnaient pas ; pas de rideau et/ou volet à la baie vitrée de la pièce principale = chaleur excessive ; les clés des salles de bains dysfonctionnent (éviter de les fermer au risque d'y rester bloqué). La température dans l'appartement n'est pas descendue en dessous de 30°, heureusement qu'il y avait plusieurs ventilateurs. Sinon appartement agréable, en particulier la pièce principale. Parking couvert appréciable (véhicule au frais) mais très difficile de s'y garer (poteaux imposants très mal situés). Cage d'escalier très propre. Accueil à l'Agence Parfait. Nous reviendrons volontiers dans cette très belle région

July 2017 We had a lovely stay at Bella Mennagio Panoramica. The apartment was spotlessly clean and in a great location. The only thing I would ask for would be a kettle to boil water. But all else was great! Laura, UK

From 20th June to 24th June we stayed four nights in your property Bella Mennagio Panoramica , Property 169 ,under booking reference 26448. Can I say a big thank you to all your staff at the office in Mennagio. From the moment we walked in the office and each time we visited they were all very pleasant and very, very helpful. Equally any enquiry I made pre arrival was again answered promptly. The property itself was very good. Its location was spot on, it was clean, tidy and the furnishings etc were excellent. Without hesitation I will be recommending your company to my family and friends.

We are very happy to provide some feedback on our stay but would prefer any comments added to the website are done in an anonymous manner. If you have any questions of the points mentioned below – please let me know. • Communication whilst selecting a property and following our booking was excellent – we were given clear instructions regarding the pick-up of keys and tips for our stay. • Members of staff in the office were friendly and welcoming and the lift to the property was very much appreciated. • The property itself is excellent and much larger than it appears in the photos. We really enjoyed using the terrace and dining areas and found the apartment to be well equipped. • The location of the property is great – only a short stroll into town. However, it can be hard to find from the road if travelling by hire car or taxi and, as such, some sort of signage on the external gate could be useful. • When we arrived at the property the terrace was dirty following bad weather, however, this was quickly resolved by the cleaning team within an hour of arrival. Many thanks.

My family and I have enjoyed a great holiday this August in Menaggio! Our holiday apartment had some truly great lake views and the balcony was just fab for alfresco dining! We all felt really comfortable in the apartment because it was just so spacious and modern. Its location was also very convenient for us, being just a 2 minute stroll from Menaggio town centre. There was great variety of supermarkets, delicatessnes, shops and restaurants to enjoy in the town and its pretty lakefront led to a great outdoor Lido and also to a ferry port. The town was a great place for a self-catering stay and we were just so close to the attractions and activities! There was tennis, watersports, kayaking, swimming, golf and hiking to enjoy..and that's just for starters! Truly a beautiful and fun family holiday!

We had a tip off from some friends who enjoyed a holiday on Lake Como in 2011 and so we decided to try it! We were not disappointed, Lake Como is just beautiful! We stayed in the central lake in a very pretty town called Menaggio. The property was located in a small gated residence just 2 minutes walk from the centre. The apartment was very spacious and modern throughout. Freddie and Sam loved their twin bedroom and my teenage daughter enjoyed the luxury of her own double bed! My husband and I were very impressed by the large open plan living area and the lake view terrace. All the fixtures and fittings were modern and the bathroom even offered a jacuzzi which was fab! I'd recommend this holiday home for families and groups. The only thing i'd say is its on the top floor, but as my husband assured me that comes with renting a penthouse! Its very convenient for reaching the shops, restaurants, Lido and ferry in the town and we found reaching Bellagio and Varenna a breeze. The holiday home management office is also in the town and they were happy to help us with our queries whilst we were there. Thank you for a fab holiday!

We thank you and appreciate very much the wine etc. which you left for us. Unfortunately because of dietary restrictions - we eat only kosher food - we were unable to enjoy it. We are grateful for all your efforts to ensure that our accomodation was comfortable (and warm!). We hope to return one day and will definitely avail ourselves of your excellent services and will recommend you to friends. Best regards

We truly enjoyed our experience at Lake Como and Bella Menaggio! We have wonderful memories of our time there. Our visit was in the middle of a 2 week tour of Bavaria, Italy, and Switzerland. Our first full day we went on the "fast boat" down to Como. We enjoyed the ride down as it gave us a chance to see the villages on the "Como" leg of the lake. Once we were in Como we took the bus up to Brunate and had lunch at Antonios' place (I can't remember the name of the restaurant, but Antonio is the owner and he's so friendly!) It was an outdoor cafe with wonderful vistas of the lake and homemade beer and wine. We hiked around Brunate and then rode the bus back down to Como and took the fast boat back up to Menaggio. We walked on the promenade to Red Bay and had a wonderful dinner~right on the water with a beautiful sunset. The next day we took the mid-lake ferry over to Bellagio and had a tour with Bellagio Water Taxis (Luca and his wife Jennine). Luca took us in his beautiful wooden boat to see some of the famous Lake Como villas by water. He narrated the whole time and then dropped us off at Villa Balbianello for a guided tour of the villa and gardens. After our tour he took us back to Bellagio and we had lunch at a wonderful outdoor cafe on the point in Bellagio. After enjoying the shops of Bellagio, we took the ferry back to Menaggio and ordered pizza from Lugano's right down the street from Bella Menaggio. We enjoyed watching the chefs spin the pizzas and throw them in the air while we waited. We took the pizza back to Bella Menaggio and enjoyed pizza and wine on our panoramic terrace as we watched the sunset. The third day we rented a private boat right from the waterfront in Menaggio to go exploring on our own. We wanted to explore the Colico end of the lake. When we first started out, the waves were too big to try to go north, so we headed south for a little bit. Then the lake seemed to calm down somewhat, so we decided to head north. By the time we got up to Colico, the lake was so calm it was almost like glass. We are so glad we were able to go up there. The scenery was amazing and there was a sailing regatta which was fun to watch. We enjoyed snacks and drinks on the boat and then returned to Menaggio. We explored the shops and had dinner on the terrace at Il Ristorante (very popular place~I had to make reservations the day before!). We enjoyed another gorgeous sunset and watched the moon rise from the waterfront. Bella Menaggio is a wonderful property. There was plenty of room for our family of 5. Our 16 year old enjoyed having his own room, and our two younger children loved their huge "hidout" with the 2 twin beds! The skylights, windows and sliding door make the home so bright and cheerful. We kept the skylights and windows open and enjoyed the constant cool lake breezes. Having a washing machine was so helpful! And it was so nice to have a kitchen~every morning my husband and I walked down to town and visited the bakery for fresh pastries. The kids looked forward to our return to see what wonderful treats we would bring home! And it was so nice to be able to park the car and never use it! We walked everywhere~no need at all for a car! Thanks so much for everything. I hope someday we will be back and I won't even look elsewhere to find a property! I'll come directly to Happy Holiday Homes. You were all so helpful from the first enquiry I made all the way through check-out.

We loved our visit to Menaggio and the property Bella Menaggio had the most beautiful view of the town and the lake. It was our second last stop on a 5 week tour through France and Italy and we had the pleasure to stay in many beautiful apartments. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed your town. We visited both Varenna and Bellagio and had exceptional meals and service there also. Bellagio – we ate at Bilicus and had the wonderful risotto with fish of the lake – fantastic! We also ate at Bar Il Molo at Varenna – fantastic bean soup and asparagus risotto. We also enjoyed the great pizza, bitello tonnato and fritto misto at La Trattoria in Menaggio, not to mention a great meal at Restaurant Bella Vista on the lake Our kids loved the Lido and we reordered the margherita pizzas twice!!! Thanks for a wonderful time – we hope to be able to come back and visit again someday.

If you hadn’t sent us this e-mail, we would have written to you anyway. First to thank you very much for the way you welcomed us at Bella Menaggio : the basket full of nice specialties was wonderful and we all appreciated ! We thank you also for the cot and the very practical chair you provided us for the baby. We had no problem to find our way as we had already located the place on Google Earth and your instructions were also clear concerning the keys and the building itself. So, we enjoyed very much our stay at Bella Menaggio : the flat is very comfortable and quiet, the view is superb we were very lucky with the weather, cold but always sunny and bright. We took nice walks inside Menaggio, to Crocetta, on the Antica Strada Regina, we took the boat to Varenna but as it was Christmas time, most villas and gardens were closed. Never mind, there are so many nice things to see!

Just quick email to say a big thank you for helping us find such a wonderful spot and apartment for New Year. It was perfect, exactly what we were looking for and the service prior to and during our stay from everyone was fantastic (particularly the directions from the airport!) Thank you again and we look forward to being able to book another holiday with you in the future.

Our stay at Bella Menaggio was delightful. The apartment was comfortable and convenient to the center of the city. The instructions and directions provided by Happy Holiday Homes were very complete and helpful. We thank you for all you did to make our 3 day stay most enjoyable.

We had a most wonderful time at your beautiful condo.  We were two couples and the condo worked out perfectly for us.  The view was magnificent and the access to the village and ferry was great.  The only negative we would mention is that there was no indication in the description that we had to climb so many stairs within the property.  We probably would not have taken the property had we known that.  It was a great difficulty on one of our party, but we managed because we were there.  I think it would only be fair to mention that for some infirm folks who would not be able to make the climb. We had a few questions (working of the clothes washer, garbage disposal) and went to the office and all was taken care of - everyone was extremely helpful and kind. We went to many restaurants in Menaggio and must say that all were wonderful.  It was so easy to take the ferry to Varenna and Bellagio.  Restaurants there were equally enjoyable.  We enjoyed driving down to Tremezzo to visit Villa Carlotta and had a lovely day trip to Lugano.  It was a perfect holiday - our weather was beautfful (it rained the week before we came and it started again the morning we left - we were blessed). We thank you for a wonderful trip. Kind regards.
