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.

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.

Lovely cottage, lovely views, lovely owner

What everyone else said! It's a lovely house, nicely decorated and clean. It's in a good location especially if you like walking as there is a 'starting point' for many trails nearby. People mentioned the steep road to the cottage; it is steep and narrow, but to give a sense of proportion we managed to get a Mercedes E class up it, but had to do a '3 point turn' on one bend and there was not much room either side. As a large 50 year old I also needed a couple of stops on the walk back from Menaggio itself but there are seats all along the way and a water fountain in one small square so it was fine and I did it 4 times in the week. I'd say it took 25 mins to walk down, and 45 up with stops, but I'm overweight and unfit. Deborah was very helpful, pleasant and speaks really good English. If like me you Google Earth destinations, there is now a house being built in the field next door by Deborah, but it is not overlooking the property and you still feel peaceful and away from it all. We will be back in a couple of years when we're ready to return to the area. The views were stunning, garden pretty and facilities just what you need for a holiday for two.
