Lovely cottage with fantastic views

Lovely cottage on the hillside overlooking Menaggio and Lake Como. Everything you need is there. Deborah was very helpful, answering all questions. Walks from the cottage were lovely and the fenced in garden was great for our dog. Two or three local restaurants also within walking distance. Weather was fabulous too, even the lightning storm one night!

Deborah and Giuseppe were warm and welcoming. We felt right at home. The cottage is delightful and the view is stunning. We wish we had had more time! Highly recommend this place. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic views and cute cottage

Excellent property, we didn’t use the downstairs bit as the upstairs and ‘loft’ bedroom was fine for the two of us. It’s a pleasant walk down into Menaggio but the walk back is not for the faint hearted - approx 30 minutes and quite steep most of the way. We only did that once! As a base for exploring the area, it was excellent. If you have more than a small car (we had a hired Yaris), the approach road might be a challenge! Great views from the balcony where we had our breakfast looking out over lake Como.

Location

Very nice location overlooking the lake. Very comfortable. walking back from town may be challenge for but these 70+ year olds made it several times. Loft bedroom may be difficult for some with narrow spiral stair and limited headroom. Enjoyed our stay very much

Superb cottage and location * * * * *

This cottage was everything we had hoped for with the best view overlooking Lake Como and Menaggio. Deborah was very helpful throughout the booking proceedings and upon our arrival. It's the perfect place to stay if you want to enjoy the lake and its small villages and all the sights around it. Also very close to good hiking trails, both easy and a bit more advanced mountain hiking like Monte Grona. Would definitely come back and recommend anyone else to stay in this lovely cottage.

Lovely cottage, great views, peaceful a nd tranquil location

Deborah was a delight to deal with, accommodating and quick to respond. Cottage quite a challenging walk uphill from Menaggio along steep narrow winding lanes. We were pleased we had hired a car despite doing the uphill walk on the odd occasion. It is easy to walk down and you could get a taxi back up. There is free parking down at the lake towards the lido which we used daily.

Klein aber fein mit tollem Ausblick auf den See. Wir wurden von Deborah kurz vor dem Haus in Empfang genommen, sodass die letzten etwas schwierigen Meter zum Haus gemeinsam gemeistert wurden. Die letzte Kurve muss man auf zweimal nehmen (mit einem etwas größeren Auto) einmal gemacht und danach kein Problem mehr.

beautiful view

Every morning we enjoyed a cup of tea on the terrace overlooking the lake and the snowy mountain tops in the distance. The view really makes the cottage special. The cottage is not so big but has everything you need. The stairway to the bedroom is quite narrow so maybe not so suitable if you’ve difficulty walking. Deborah was very helpful and send us a good video of the driving directions to the cottage. The last part can be a bit tricky but with the video we managed just fine. If we visit lake como again we would love to come back to the cottage!

Außergewöhnliches Häuschen mit großartigem Ausblick

Wundervolle Zeit verbracht, die Lage perfekt, um tolle Ausflüge, Wanderungen, oder einfach nur Ruhe und Natur zu erleben. Das Häuschen hat tatsächlich sehr viel Charme, wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Kommunikation mit Deborah war sehr gut, sehr freundlich und wir haben uns willkommen gefühlt. Einziger Wehrmutstropfen... ein Backofen in der Küche... das wäre schön gewesen, aber das ist Klagen auf hohem Niveau. Alles in allem ein unvergesslicher Urlaub!

Séjour

Accès plutôt difficile selon la voiture, ce serait bien de le mentionner. Photos avec grands angles, pièces petites et en haut très mansardé, on ne tient pas debout et nous ne sommes pas grands. Escalier très exigu. Vue magnifique et endroit calme. Réserve naturelle avec magnifiques ballades juste derrière la maison. Accueil par Deborah très sympathique.

Traumhafter Ausblick

Ein wunderbarer Urlaub! Es ist ein schönes Haus mit fantastischem Ausblick über den See. Abseits vom Trubel in Menaggio, daher aber auch etwas beschwerlich zu erreichen. Dafür aber ein guter Ausgangspunkt für sehr schöne Wanderwege, vor allem mit Hundebegleitung. Deborah ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, die uns stets mit guten Ratschlägen zur Seite stand. Auch bei den Wanderungen hatte Deborah schöne Empfehlungen für uns. Liebe Grüße

Zeer geslaagd

Mooie locatie en goed ingericht huis. Veel privacy en een uitzicht waar je echt het vakantiegevoel van krijgt. Naar het dorp is een stevige wandeling van toch wel een klein half uur. Maar 2 prima restaurantjes op nog geen 5 minuten lopen.

Wunderschöne Location!

Alles in Allem ganz wunderbar! Entzückendes Haus, tolle Lage mit fantastischer Aussicht und in schöner Umgebung. Anfahrt mit grossem Auto auf den letzten 300m abenteuerlich. Deborah sehr nett, zuvorkommend und unkompliziert. Steile Holz-Wendeltreppe zum Schlafbereich für Hund und ältere, gebrechliche Menschen ungeeignet. Dafür schöne Terrassen und eingezäunter Garten, für Hund ideal. Allerdings viele kläffende Hunde in der weiteren Umgebung, dafür diverse Spazierwege schnell erreichbar, es geht immer auf und ab - gutes Training. Menaggio Centro (bergab) in ca. 20/25 Min. zu Fuss auf teilweise idyllischen und historisch bedeutsamen Wegen erreichbar. Loveno, wo das Haus gelegen ist, ist ein entzückender „Borgho“. Für uns war es super, das wird es auch für fitte Leute sein, aber eine Warnung: nichts für ältere Menschen mit Gebrechen - sollte vielleicht im Inserat erwähnt werden (wir gehören auch zu den „älteren“ Menschen, sind aber glücklicherweise noch sehr fit). Wir haben die 10 Tage in Deborahs Haus trotz gemischten Wetters sehr genossen!

Maison très bien située avec une vue sur le lac de Côme inégalable. Ça se mérite quand même car de Menaggio il y a une belle montée, mais cela se fait,avec un peu de courage, très bien. La montée vaut largement le coup. Sur place la maison est très bien équipée, il ne manque rien.

Fabulous

I had the best time in Menaggio and the location of the house was perfect for walks with the dog and adventures in the garden for the cat. The walk into town offered a good exercise opportunity and Menaggio itself was simply a delightful place. I will definitely return. Deborah and Gieuseppe were excellent hosts and just really nice people. I couldn't have asked for better service :)
