About the home

Spacious, stylish apartment in Lenno The beauty of this property is its central location which offers the opportunity to explore all the beautiful towns along the lake from the ferry terminal which is only a 5 min. walk away.

The Italian Lakes are a little slice of paradise. Elegant ribbons of blue water stretch out ahead, folded into the sun-baked foothills, with a spectacular back drop of the snow-capped Alps.

Lake Como offers hidden treasures just waiting for the visitor to discover them: charming corners forgotten by time, lakeside villages where nothing seems to have changed for centuries.
This spacious apartment is stylishly furnished and has a comfortable living area with flat screen TV and midi system, a fully equipped modern kitchen, one double bedroom and a bathroom. All rooms give access to the south facing private terrace – perfect for enjoying al fresco dining, or stretching out and relaxing on the sun loungers.

It is possible to enjoy your stay here without a car. The bus stop is almost next door, and there are frequent boats to all parts of the lake from Lenno. You can stroll out and eat at a different restaurant, pizzeria or bar every night of the week. There is direct access to the lake by cobbled path at the side of the building and forms part of the Lago di Como Greenway path linking the local villages. Local amenities, including 2 supermarkets, banks, post office and pharmacy are a short, level walk away.

There is a gated car park with an allocated space.

How to get there - All 3 Milan Airports – Malpensa, Linate and Milan Bergamo (Orio al Serio) are around 90 minutes away by car. All have good public transport links to Como, and from there to Lenno by bus or boat. If travelling by public transport, make sure you arrive in Milan by early afternoon – the last bus/boat is about 8 pm. Further details on request.

If you would really like to reduce your carbon footprint why not travel by train – from Paris to Milan, or overnight sleeper from Cologne direct to Como.

The Lombardy / Lake Como Area region

The Italian Lakes are a little slice of paradise. Elegant ribbons of blue water stretch out ahead, folded into the sun-baked foothills, with a spectacular back drop of the snow-capped Alps.

Lake Como offers hidden treasures just waiting for the visitor to discover them: charming corners forgotten by time, lakeside villages where nothing seems to have changed for centuries.

It is steeped in history with an immense collection of churches, architectural masterpieces and works of art covering the centuries. The lake is situated in a basin surrounded by wooded mountains, and offers an extremely varied landscape, with its' shores featuring a succession of pastures, and woods as well as harsh and impressive rock formations.

All this alongside elegant, lakeside villas with sub-tropical gardens, which provide a haven of peace and tranquillity and chic resorts such as Varenna, Bellagio, Menaggio and Como itself.

Warming, inspriing and graced with natural beauty, the lakes are still a place to draw breath and wonder. Lake Como, oriented north-south, ringed by characterful old villages often wedged onto
narrow beaches between rugged cliffs and water. Those classic lake images of flower strewn balconies, Baroque gardens and splendid waterside villas can be found here in abundance. Dotted around and between the lakes are some of Italy's finest art cities, such as Milan, Verona & Bergamo.

The most romantic and picturesque villages on the lake are Santa Maria Rezzonico, Varenna (15 min by ferry) & Bellagio (8 min by ferry), Lenno (visit Villa Balbianello, location for 007's Casino Royale as well as Villa Gaeta, right here in Menaggio) & Laglio (where George Clooney owns Villa Oleandra).

The Lenno area

Lenno is the oldest village on Lake Como and gets its name from the Greek Island of Lemnos, where the first inhabitants came from to populate this area.

It is only a 15 min. drive from the city of Como with its classy shops, boutiques and the famous street market, or a short trip in the hydrofoil, which stops regularly in the harbour of Lenno.

A short 5 min. walk from the apartment will take you to the lake promenade with its bars, restaurants, the famous Lido di Lenno offering a made made sandy beach, a shingle beach plus a bar, disco and restaurant. You can also catch the passenger ferry to lakeside towns all over the lake, hire motor boats for the day from the bay of Lenno or catch the water taxi to Villa Balbianello (an alternative to walking to the famous Villa).
To the back of the village, various foot paths will bring you past olive groves, a famous monastery and a pilgrims path into the mountains, with some stunning views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

Golf

There are Golf clubs around Lake Como: The Cadenabbia & Menaggio Golf Club celebrating 100 years this year and is Italy's oldest golf course. Established in 1907 with 18 holes Par 70, it is located above Menaggio near Croce, in Grandola ed Uniti, approx. 20 min. by car. Tel: +39 344 321 03. Green Fees: Weekdays EU 55, Weekends and Holidays EU 70 Euros; Golf Cart Rental EU 36.
Restaurant Golf at the club serves fantastic food and is well recommended.. Guests are always welcome, please call beforehand to check course rules. Golf Club Menaggio: (Menaggio Como).

There is also a first class Golf Course at Varesse for those staying nearer to the Lake Maggorie area.

Skiing

This beautiful lake region of Italy is not the best for skiing as you may imagine, despite its scenery, crisp air and near perfect visibilty and mountains capped in winter snow. It does however have Skiing opportunities at local resorts for a day out.

There is a small ski area on Mt. Lema , not more than 10 km from Lugano, but you have to be lucky to have enough snow for skiing. In Ticino, the local Swiss Canton, the best places to ski are probably either San Bernardino (south of the pass of the same name) or Airolo (south of Gotthard pass). Both are reachable in about 1 hour by car across the Swiss border.

There are direct trains to Airolo as well from Lugano and hence from Italian Stations. To S. Bernardino there is only a bus connection. For more snow try Andermatt (on the north side of Gotthard pass) which has normally good snow conditions and a good choice of runs.

The closest major ski resorts are St. Moritz and Madesimo toward the Splugen Pass, which is approx. 1 hr 20 min. by car.

Guestbook for Il Giglio

Il Giglio was a great palce to stay and would not hesitate to recommend it or your company. The property was very accurately described and your directions for getting there were spot on. As we did not have a car we had to rely on public transport but this proved to be very easy to use.

The super market was only a short stroll away which was great. We woke one morning to find we had no hot water but after a phone call to your offices this problem was quickly resolved. Overall we found the property very comfortable and relaxing. My only complaint and it's just a small one - perhaps some directions to the garbage bins are needed. We had no idea where they were and could not locate any on the property. It wasn't till we managed to catch another resident of the complex and he told us where the rubbish went.

Thanks for a great stay and we found Happy Holidays a pleasure to deal with.
