Wonderful Breglia
We loved our time at the accommodation in Breglia. We hadn’t realised the accommodation was so far up in the mountains but this turned out to be a huge benefit as the views were stunning and area very peaceful. Many of the properties in the area are very old and steeped in amazing history.
Lucia, owner of the property, was very accommodating and friendly. She has tremendous knowledge of the local area and was able to offer lots of advice and guidance in regards to local walks and places of interest as well as the history of the place.
During our stay we went on a hike to the Menaggio Refugo which was situated deep in the mountains. Although a challenging walk in places, the views from the refugo were panoramic and well worth the effort. We also walked down the mountain path ways from our accommodation to Menaggio which took around 1.5 hours and around 2 hours back up. There is a local bus that we caught on one occasion from Menaggio to Breglia that took about 20mins.
Although the accommodation was basic, it was comfortable enough and had a well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed (may have benefited for a duvet as opposed to blankets) and a pleasant lounge area. Lucia provided wood for the fire and there was a separate heater fuelled on wood pellets which is clean and simple to use. We enjoyed meeting the local people of Breglia who were extremely friendly, especially next door neighbour Claudio who could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable.
Would recommend this accommodation to anyone who enjoys spending time in a beautiful and peaceful place as well as enjoying and experiencing the local history.
