The Lombardy / Lake Como Area
Lake como arguarbly provides the most serene setting in the whole of Italy. Set in the shape of an upside down wish bone, the lake is nestled between huge mountain scenery visible from either side of the lake offering an idyllic backdrop to the dolce vita Italy is so renowned for. The milder temperature the lake enjoys present a comfortable climate to relax and recuperate from gentle lakeside walks to lazy afternoon lunches amidst majestic lakeside scenery. The deep blue waters of the lake offer an enticing invitation for an afternoon dip or for a boat trip to one of the quaint villages that surround it. For lovers of flora and fauna a short journey will take you the grand gardens of Villa Carlotta or for sheer breathtaking beauty visit romantic Villa Balbinello with its fairytale lakeside location.
Famed for its jaw dropping beauty, the lake has long since attracted many famous names to its shores from Shelley and Longfellow to Stendhal and Liszt to modern day luminaries such as Versace and Clooney . In fact the recent final scene in the latest James Bond adventure was filmed here in Menaggio at Villa Gaeta (see picture).
Futher afield Monza (formula 1), Milan ( Italy's capitol of industry and fashion)and Madesimo (skiing)and St Moritz in Switzerland(skiing, shopping and people-watching) are all within easy reach. Menaggio is very close to the Swiss border, so day trips to Lugano-should you wish to visit a different lake-is possible.Please ask for specific details, we will be happy to advise you of our favourite day trips and recommended restaurants to help you get the most from your stay!
Menaggio / Loveno area
Menaggio is perfectly positioned to enjoy every aspect of the lake. From the ferry stop you can take a leisurely boat trip to beautiful Bellagio, the quintessential lakeside village perfect for a day out meandering around the narrow cobbled steets whilst admiring the art or picking up some silk or leather souvenirs. Palm lined lake walks, restaurants,bars, ice cream shops, fruit and veg, bank, ferry, everything you need is just 15 minutes walk from your home. Alternatively take the car or bus to the centre of the village. A good pizzeria is also available just a few minutes walk from your home. Venture out to Varenna, another impossibly beautiful lakeside village or take the boat to Como city for a fascinating day out. Lesser known than its bigger brother of Milan, Como nevertheless ticks all the right boxes when seeking out the typical italian city. Perfectly formed piazzas, breathtaking gothic 14th century cathedral, stylish shopping, narrow cafe lined alley ways and here you will find history in abundance including the Alessandro Volta's musuem famed for his invention of electricity back in 1801.
