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!

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!

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 :)

Excellent Lake Como Holiday

We had a superb week in Italy by Lake Como. The cottage is as described and the owner, Deborah, is extremely helpful. I'd never booked through the internet before and the fact I was planning twelve days abroad made it all a bit daunting but everything went smoothly. Lago di Como itself is gorgeous, and the cottage is situated in Loveno above Menaggio. We walked every day down into Menaggio (it is steep but the views are worth it) and we found lots to do: hiking in the hills (the Refugio at Monte di Braglia is particularly recommended); ferry trip over to Varenna and Bellagio; just wandering around Menaggio (there's an historic walk that's worthwhile); and painting - the scenery is picture postcard worthy. There is a local trattoria just a few minutes from the cottage - Vecchia Magnolia - that does good food, and everybody is friendly. We will definitely be returning. Thanks Deborah. (Alan and Lesley)

Lovely cottage, Fabulous location

This was our first visit to the Italian Lakes and we could not have chosen a better place to stay. The description of the cottage is very accurate and the photos give a very good idea of what it looks like inside. But what the photos cannot do is show how truly wonderful the setting is and the wonderful view from the balcony. You can see the lake, the ferries criss crossing, the mountains, the little towns on the otherside and the woods all around. It's beautiful! The balcony is large and sunny, plenty of room for sunbathing and outdoor meals, and simply enjoying the view with a glass of wine in hand. The walk into Menaggio is about 20 mins down the hill past some lovely villas and houses. We did the walk several times in the evening, but always got a taxi back up the hill. This was no problem even for us who speak no Italian at all. There are lots of good restaurants in the town, we had several great meals in restaurants overlooking the lake. Menaggio also has plenty of shops, and a small but efficient supermarket. It was an easy drive from Milan airport. The directions given were clear and concise. The welcome we got from Deborah was very friendly. There is lots to do in the area. We hired a boat and whizzed about the lake for a couple of hours, visited some amazing villas and caught the regular ferries to and fro across the lake. 2 weeks really was not enough and we hope to return soon.

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 grĂ¶ĂŸeren Auto) einmal gemacht und danach kein Problem mehr.

Außergewöhnliches HĂ€uschen mit großartigem Ausblick

Wundervolle Zeit verbracht, die Lage perfekt, um tolle AusflĂŒge, Wanderungen, oder einfach nur Ruhe und Natur zu erleben. Das HĂ€uschen hat tatsĂ€chlich sehr viel Charme, wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Die Kommunikation mit Deborah war sehr gut, sehr freundlich und wir haben uns willkommen gefĂŒhlt. Einziger Wehrmutstropfen... ein Backofen in der KĂŒche... das wĂ€re schön gewesen, aber das ist Klagen auf hohem Niveau. Alles in allem ein unvergesslicher Urlaub!

Traumhafter Ausblick

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

Wunderschöne Location!

Alles in Allem ganz wunderbar! EntzĂŒckendes 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 fĂŒr Hund und Ă€ltere, gebrechliche Menschen ungeeignet. DafĂŒr schöne Terrassen und eingezĂ€unter Garten, fĂŒr Hund ideal. Allerdings viele klĂ€ffende Hunde in der weiteren Umgebung, dafĂŒr 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 entzĂŒckender „Borgho“. FĂŒr uns war es super, das wird es auch fĂŒr fitte Leute sein, aber eine Warnung: nichts fĂŒr Ă€ltere Menschen mit Gebrechen - sollte vielleicht im Inserat erwĂ€hnt werden (wir gehören auch zu den „Àlteren“ Menschen, sind aber glĂŒcklicherweise noch sehr fit). Wir haben die 10 Tage in Deborahs Haus trotz gemischten Wetters sehr genossen!

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.

Klein - aber fein

Ein sehr schönes, kleines Haus in toller Lage. Jedoch bedingt diese eine steile und enge Anfahrt - war aber mit Vorsicht machbar. Es liegt sehr ruhig - zu Fuß sind es nach Menaggio etwa 30 Minuten. ZurĂŒck - den Berg wieder hinauf - braucht man eine gute dreiviertel Stunde. Die Kommunikation mit Deborah und ihrem Vater war sehr gut. Alles hat super geklappt. Beide sind ĂŒberaus herzlich und freundlich. Die Ausstattung ist gut. Lediglich ein bisschen ein grĂ¶ĂŸerer Sonnenschirm wĂ€re bei den Temperaturen nicht schlecht gewesen. DafĂŒr konnte man gut die untere Terrasse nutzen, die komplett beschattet ist. Auch mit Hund bietet es sich sehr gut an, da es komplett umzĂ€unt ist, und die Vermieter absolut hundefreundlich sind. Vom Haus aus kann man schöne SpaziergĂ€nge mit dem Hund machen. Von dort aus sind auch sonst zahlreiche AktivitĂ€ten und AusflĂŒge möglich. Es war ein sehr schöner, ruhiger Urlaub - vielen Dank an Deborah!
