Menaggio provides 10/10 - 100% Relaxing
We really liked that the place was located i the center of everything. Walking distance to ferry( travel to Varenna❤️, Belaggio❤️, Lenno❤️ etc), bus, restaurants, bars, lakeview in almost 180°. There was also a nice bakery just downstairs from the main frontdoor with the finest cakes and sweets(bread was bought every day from a bakery further up the streets, Il Fornia i think the name was)👌. The Foods was great, the local people where smiling (of course if you gave a smile yourself) and the HPS Management (the Company which facilitates the whole rental agreement) where polite, trustworthy and i will give them 10/10 according to the service they provided.
We will come back to Menaggio for sure and could rent the same appartment if they will rent it out again to us as well😊

The location of this place could not be better! We loved it! The place was so cute and had good amenities. Just be warned it doesn’t have a/c and we were there when it was very very hot 😳. Besides that everything was great! 🩷Response:
Thank you for your review, Kathryn! We're so glad to hear that you loved the location and found the place charming with great amenities.

Great location and well appointed apartment. Good communication. What we didn't like was how difficult it was to open the apartment door and garage. It seemed the keys weren't quite exactly the correct cut for the lock and it took longer than it should to open the doors. Quite frustrating.
Dear Loraye, Thank you for your feedback. We're thrilled about it and the team is thrilled to receive such a great rating, much obliged. We're sorry to hear that the opening process was difficult. We hope to have the opportunity to turn your experience around. We are sure we can find a solution to make your next visit a pleasant memory. Best regards, Lake Como Holiday

We had a great time. The rental was very conveniently located to everything in town. It was well appointed, and the rental management team was excellent.
Please be aware that the video on the property was not something we were ever able to access and thus we were guessing as to house rules and checkout. We ended up putting our keys in the bottom of the rental management team key box due to the fact they were not open when we needed to catch our transportation out of the Lake Como area.
Dear Jeff, many thanks for the input. Your comments will certainly encourage us to continue to offer exceptional service to our guests. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and suggestions with us; we look forward to welcoming you again in the future for another enjoyable stay at Lake Como. Lake Como Holiday

So sorry for the lapse in time for my reply.
We absolutely loved the apartment and would recommend it to anyone. It had everything required for our week. The coffee shop just opposite in the piazza was amazing. All the restaurants in the small alleys were also very good. It was a busy time for us so I can't remember any names. The supermarket was only walking distance too and was completely amazing for all food, wine and other essential requirements. The close proximity to the ferry was perfect. We can only say positive comments about the apartment, the town of Menaggio and your staff.

The apartment was in a great location and very nice and quiet with good views from most rooms. We were delighted to see the welcome gift. We were really pleased that there was a lift to the apartment
We had a great welcome at the office in Menaggio with lots of helpful suggestions. We were not in Menaggio for long but really enjoyed our visit to Varenna which was a delightful town.

We had a wonderful time at Bellavista Grande. It Is a lovely setting with astonishing views and a wonderful outdoor space.
The property was very easy to find if you are walking from town or the ferry – a little more challenging in the car.
The office team was superb!
We thank you for the lovely welcome food and wine we received upon arrival!
We loved the area so much it is difficult to pick a favorite. It is breathtakingly beautiful! We packed a lot into 3 days and wish we could have stayed longer. We enjoyed the main piazza in Menaggio, and the bread and meat markets that were close by. Dinner outside at Il Ristorante di Paolo was fabulous, as were cocktails at the Hotel du Lac outside bar. The ferry was very easy to catch – just a short walk from the property and it ran on time. We loved Varenna and the hike to the Castello Di Vezio, as well as the climb up the castle tower. The shops in Bellaggio were much fun, and the walk through Lenno and to Villa Balbianella was gorgeous.

First off I will say the location of the apartment could not be beat and the office was a tremendous help especially Viviana she was the best very very helpful and informative ,we absolutely loved Menaggio and after visiting the towns of bellaggio and Varrenna which were awesome as well ,we knew we had picked the best place with Menaggio ,less touristy great food and nice people we especially loved pizzeria Lugano good service very nice people and great food at reasonable prices ,we didn't care for our tour for the bernina express ,too much time on the bus and not enough on the train and I don't believe anyone on the tour liked the town of St Moritz ,as for the apartment itself it was quite sufficient for our needs although I would recommend someone meet you at the apartment initially just to go over a few simple things that would make check in a little less stressful ,like initially what door to go in and how to operate the keys although we figured it out it was quite stressful at first also how to operate a AC radio washing machine coffee maker and I would recommend if possible a dryer as the towel situation was scarce other than that I would highly recommend the apartment and certainly Menaggio it was a wonderful vacation thank you very much!

Thank you for your message. We had a lovely holiday thank you – the office staff were very helpful on arrival and the apartment was perfectly located for what we wanted.
I am attaching one photo – which is of the kids rolling down one of the hills at the Villa Melzi in Belaggio. They had a brilliant time!
Our favorite trips were the walk around the suburbs of Bellagio that we got from tourist information, the walk around the old parts of Menaggio with the children's’ trail - again from tourist information, and climbing up to the castle at Varenna. We particularly love the little bakery in Menaggio that sells focaccia breads with peppers or tomatoes sliced on top – perfect for picnics.
I hope we will come back to the apartment again as it was exactly where we wanted to be – and remarkably quiet for being so central. Fingers crossed!

We rented La Piazza Menaggio from May 20-24 and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The apartment is in a perfect location for those without a car as it was an easy walk from the ferry to the rental office and then to the apartment. We were were always greeted by staff with warm enthusiasm. The apartment is on the third floor of a very quiet building and the elevator was very quick and convenient.
The apartment furnishings were very nice with stunning views from the master bedroom and the living room windows. We could see the river, mountains – even the Alps! We picked up some local meats, breads, cheeses and wine one evening and made a lovely dinner enjoyed by candlelight. The beds were comfortable and the two bathrooms a luxury. Being on one of the squares made it easy to pop out in the morning for a croissant & cappuccino or we could have breakfast at home.
Walking anywhere in the village was easy with outstanding views of the lake and mountains. We purchased an all-day boat ticket at the ferry office one day and visited Verenna, Bellagio, and Tremezzo – a perfect day. We explored Menaggio including a walking tour up to Loveno where we had a delicious lunch at the Hotel Royal. Mr. Colombo visited our table and even shared his home made lemon chutney with us! What a view from the upper hills of Menaggio! I would advise visitors to be sure to stop in at the tourist information center as they have great information about activities in the area!!
The local restaurants and bars were all very tasty and staff always friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed some wine tasting at Fusi & Sfusi where we filled up plastic liters of wine now and then at great prices – to take back to the apartment. We especially liked Osteria il Pozzo for dinner one evening. Actually, we did not have a bad dining experience anywhere we went.
I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who is visiting Lake Como. We thought of the villages in this area, Menaggio was the very best! It offers lots to do, just enough shopping but is not overwhelming at all. Thanks to the staff for such good, friendly service – we are already recommending you and this property to others. Feel free to use whatever you would like – first names only please.

Here are our thoughts on La Piazza Menaggio, which we rented from you for one week:
We located the property quite easily, and it was exactly as represented on your website. Everything was clean, and the appliances worked perfectly. Your team was most helpful in every way.
We do have one suggestion for improvement, and that is to make sure all the keys work easily in the locks. The lock to the downstairs (outside) door was very difficult to open, and one set of our keys was also difficult to use in opening the front door of the residence.
Our favorite restaurants included Ristorante di Paolo and La Baita for dinners, and a smaller restaurant (La Trattoria di Nogara) that offered free wifi along with very nice food and good service.
If we return to Lake Como, we will most certainly ask for your help in locating a residence.
Thank you for your help.

We had such a FANTASTIC time staying in la Piazza Menaggio! The holiday apartment was located in a really charming period building in one of Menaggio's main lakefront piazzas. We had a great sense of lake life staying here; with the cafes, shops, lakefront and restaurants all on our doostep! We loved just sitting in the main piazza with a cappuccino in the mornings to people spot and enjoy the sunshine. The apartment was beautifully furnished and we felt so comfortable and at home there. All the mods cons were provided and the fully-equipped kitchen was quite simply a joy to cook in! San Paolo..and Red Bay were both lovely restaurants and the local pizzerias were also very good. The Lido in the town was great for daytime relaxing and in the evenings a few times a week it really became a fun place to go to in the evenings and enjoy a cocktail on the lakefront terrace there.
The Happy holiday homes team in Menaggio were so good to us..from the welcome hamper, babysitting and tourist advice; nothing was too much trouble for them! I would really recommend Menaggio if you are thinking of coming to the lake. You can reach all the main attractions and leisure activities from here by bus and ferry!
Thanks for a fantastic time :)

We enjoyed our stay in La Piazza and found it to be in the most perfect location. The directions that were given made it easy to find your office in Menaggio as well as La Piazza itself. The apartment was close to everything yet was quiet in the evenings to allow a good night's sleep. The wonderfully comfortable beds and high standard of bed linens added to our comfort. La Piazza was absolutely spotless and the furniture was quite nice. Staying in Menaggio was a great choice...busy enough to have everything you might need close by and yet not as 'touristy' as some of the other towns.

Thanks for your help in booking La Piazza Menaggio, and for the very welcome Prosecco! We found the property easily and loved it's central and convenient location. It was very comfortable with lovely views and decor. We were only in the Lakes for 3 nights so it was just a taster of the area during a longer trip in Italy. I'm sure our activities (Varenna, Bellagio, Carlotta) were nothing out of the ordinary, but they were very enjoyable.
Thanks again and I hope that we'll return to this lovely part of the world again soon, and would certainly consider renting from you if we do.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in La Piazza Menaggio & found the service provided by Lake Como Homes excellent.
I was very impressed by the emails received with instructions & directions prior to arrival. All directions were perfect & made it very easy to find both the office & the apartment. The apartment itself was fantastic. The location could not be better, right on the square, yet it certainly wasn't noisy for us. La Piazza Menaggio is very modern & comfortable, and completely equipped with everything you need. It is great that there were 2 bathrooms & the apartment was spotlessly clean, with plenty of towels available. (However there was only 1 shower, as it wasn't suitable to shower in the downstairs bathroom, but this was not a problem for us)
We attended a wedding while we were there, so some of the wedding party (who were staying in a local hotel) visited us to see the apartment. Everyone agreed that it was fantastic & some people said they would like to return to Menaggio & stay in an apartment like La Piazza Menaggio. (Especially given the fact that some of the local hotels are quite expensive, yet the rooms are not very modern). The book in the apartment from Lake Como Homes was very good for telling us about everything to do in the area & also what needed to be done on leaving the apartment & where to leave the key. All in all, we were very happy with the apartment & the service provided by Lake Como Homes. I would highly recommend your company to anyone visiting Lake Como.
(We passed the office a few times during our stay & there was always a lovely dog inside the office, he is beautiful!)

I would first like to express my thanks for the assistance we received during our stay. All the staff were polite, enthusiastic, and helpful.Booking was relatively easy. The pre-arrival instructions were particularly helpful. I greatly appreciated the inclusion of photos (e.g., your office; the entry to the building where the apartment was; the approach to the garage).The property was particularly well located for a visitor to Menaggio. The apartment was quite spacious, and certainly adequate for our requirements. I found the village of Menaggio quite attractive and enjoyable. It has a wonderful, lake-side location, enhanced by the snow-capped moutains towering above it. I liked sitting in the main square and watching the locals; and walking through the narrow, sometimes dark, village streets. Probably the highlight for us was finding our way to the Chiesetta, perched on a high spur just south of the village. We enjoyed its peacefulness, and the spectacular views to the village and the lake. We also very much enjoyed the agriturismo restaurant recommended by Andrea, a few minutes' drive up into the hills behind Menaggio. We also had a lovely drive to Lake Lugano. It was a clear winter's day, and the reflection of snow capped mountains and village buildings on the silver water of the lake was spectacular.
As you can tell, we very much enjoyed our time in Menaggio.
