About the owner
In 2005 we purchased our 2 bedroom apartment as a family holiday home, and to help fund it, we decided to rent it out for part of the year. Our family have enjoyed it so much that when another apartment came up for sale in 2008, we decided to buy it. We now regularly host family gettogethers in Sonenga using both apartments. We spend around two months of the year in Menaggio and know the area well. So, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
