The village of Argegno is only a 3 minute walk with lake, ferry, bus. Bank, minimarket, fruit & veg shop, geletaria all available here in the village. Argegno itself is home to lakeside living par excellence with a selection of bars and restaurants, perfect for a lazy lunch or a romantic candlelit alfresco feast.

Take the funicular close to the village for superb lake and mountain views! Shingle beach for sunbathing plus mountaineering in near by val d'intelvi for the more adventurous!
However for holidaymakers who liketo explore there is plenty of variation on offer from visiting medieval churches to browsing at the many italian boutiques in nearby Como town famed for it's silk and leather, talking a boat ride for a spot of dinner on one of the many lakeside villages to climbing the mountains high above the lake! Choose from Villa Carlotta, 20 minutes from the apartment with it's acres of beautiful lake facing gardens, Villa Balbinello in Lenno (15 minutes drive)for romance and relaxation (James Bond seemed to favour the latter in the recent Casino Royale production filmed here in 2006) Bellagio never fails to dissapoint and offers a great excuse to take the water ferry across the lake.

“amazing lake como”
Vicki and Ian December 2010
A fabulous apartment in a really friendly little place, we were welcomed like film stars at the local wine bar!
We were given great advice by Barrie and Julie and the knowledge that they have for everything is amazing..right down to the best places to get a take away pizza!
The apartment is perfect, great little dvd player and music system and in the kitchen everything you need to enjoy the fruits of the local markets and shops not to mention the very nice local wines that are available, we cooked more that we thought we would and really just used the evening time to relax, it was an amazing time and we were planning the next trip on our last night.
We used the local transport and the ferry to go to Mennagio and had a great day looking around and enjoying the Christmas atmosphere.
We will be back..without doubt, it's too good to resist.

“2010 december ..perfecto!”
Vicki and Ian December 2010
a fabulous apartment in a really friendly little place, we were welcomed like film stars at the local wine bar!
After five weeks of travel, this apartment was a very nice place for us to take a vacation from our vacation. We were pleasantly surprised by the fact that is is much larger than it appears in the pictures on the web site. The kitchen, dining, living room areaseem even larger because of the floor to ceiling windows which look out onto the lake and over the roofs of this hillside town. The bed was very comfortable and the lighting was good throughout the apartment. It was nice having a second bedroom to store our luggage and keep the living out of a suitcase clutter out of sight. There is a nice selection of dvds and music which we enjoyed in the evenings after exploring the area. The location is good - halfway between Como and Menaggio, which we enjoyed most of all the towns we visited. Julie could not have been more helpful. She was able to recommend local restuarants, met us at a food store to give us the USB connecction for wi fi, and helped us with food purchase. (did not know the Italian word for cream or where to find it.) She is from Wales so we did not have to use our limited Italian and less limited sign language to communicate. If we return to the lake district, I would hope this apartment is still available.
