great location but needs some help

it was plenty of room for the 6 of us but the supplies limited and no coffee and i wasnt gonna buy it for 2 days, it would have been nice to have along with paper towels and tissue. had to keep trash in apartment till we left and since we did takeout there was alot. the wash machine leaked so we couldnt do but 1 load and the dryer must be clogged because it got so hot inside cuz moisture could not escape and the dryer stopped working at one point. But the location was great and easy to get to ferry for other towns.

Great location

Great apartment for a group. Five of us fit comfortably in the house using all three bedrooms. It was an easy process to pick up the keys at the property management office and a short walk to the apartment. The property manager was very helpful in giving local information about the ferry, grocery store, etc. Would highly recommend the property.

Really fantastic location, incredibly helpful and responsive management staff.

We had a beautiful week on the lake staying here. We had car service to and from airport and otherwise there was no need for a car. Menaggio is a perfect location to access other towns around the lake by ferry. We made several day trips including StMoritz which the office staff helped organize. They were extremely friendly and helpful during our stay. Menaggio is truly fantastico!

Excellent Property

We had a great stay in Menaggio. I was there with my wife, my two teenage sons and my mother in law. The space worked great for all of us. The location is perfect. Right in the Menaggio town square. There was live music on Thursday night in the square, which was loud, but ended up being very nice. They didn’t go late, so it didn’t affect us negatively. Location is walking distance to the ferry so we could explore other locations. Lots of restaurants and shopping very close. Would stay here again, but longer next time.

Fantastic location / beautiful views

You will get what you pay for with the wonderful location, but I would say it was far from luxury. The furniture was IKEA. The master bedroom had paper taped onto the windows. The kitchen sink didn’t work (and when I communicated this to the management company they tried to pass me off to someone else so we left it as is and hope they have fixed it since). This all being said, the location is wonderful. Close to everything in Menaggio and a short walk to the ferry to Varenna and Bellagio. If you are looking for a luxurious stay, this isn’t it, but it is convenient.

Fantastico Menaggio is not so Fantastico!

The pictures are very inaccurate and make the place look a lot bigger than it is. No parking and bag drop was an issue, parking instructions were confusing. Staff were not helpful, we had several issues with the kitchen sink, TV and beds, they sent someone out and he was impolite, rude. No dish towels or paper towels in the kitchen, showers are mediocre at best. Beds are so old that the sink on the middle. Kitvhen sink tap is not working properly and you almost have to break it trying to get it to work, we could not get it working, some poor guest will break it trying to open it and get stuck with the bill to replace. Key drop off was also an issue as we were told drop at office, but the office was closed. I would not recommend staying here

Location Fantastico but yup, needs work

Location is beyond compare! So charming, peaceful and relaxing especially being at the center of the quaint town plaza.Use the Trenord Rail train from Milan to the S.Guiovanni IF you want to take the bus to Menaggio. Train/bus station are the same building and you can get bus tickets in the little shop.One of us came a day later and went on Trenitalia to the other station which is not near buses- ended up lost in Como and had to call a cab to get to Menaggio.You don't need a car. Grocery is an easy walk and lots of restaurant choices nearby. Favorite was the Ristorante Del Porto - every first bite started with "wow" and have local fish which they did expertly. Short walk to the ferry station for easy exploring of the nearby towns - all delightful. The apartment location was amazing, and the views unbelievable. Very spacious and nice updates in the bathrooms. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and had a thoughtful welcome package with wine when we arrived! Need to be honest about the cleanliness, which others mentioned.Figured it would be cleaned by now but nope- still has red something splashed on the bathroom curtains, gross layer of greasy dust on window coverings, spider webs in beams, light fixtures with broken or missing covers, and the deck chairs covered with dirt.Some appliances barely worked. Not fantastico. Requested late checkout (10 is EARLY) as per policy well ahead and they were unwilling to work with us. Lack of customer service/cleanliness disappointing.

Menaggio Fantastico

Our April with you at Lake Como was a dream vacation. We love to imagine that we could be your guest again someday soon. Menaggio Fantastico was a perfect place to be. Initially, Harold, you said if we chose that apartment we would feel "the luckiest people on the Lake." Indeed, that was 100% true. What a happy time! Here are some suggestions which apply to Menaggio Fantastico specifically, and then ones for any visitor to Lake Como. For Menaggio Fantastico: 1.) Directions for operating the dish washer, the washing machine and dryer, and the television should be written down in English, probably by the owners, and left where they can be found. 2.) Americans are spoiled, I know, but we always wanted more ice. The apartment needed probably 4 new ice trays. 3.) We had 2 sets of keys for 6 people. More sets of keys would be nice. Also, HHH should have a set for themselves in the office. 4.) Speaking of keys, we still do not understand what we did to lock ourselves INTO the apartment so that we couldn't get out again, thus having to disturb you for professional help. A note of instruction on this matter would help too. Now for favorite things to do: 1.) Every day I wanted to ride the boats. Truly, it wouldn't matter where, just ride. I think it was because of seeing so much and feeling as if I'd stepped back in time to an era when riding the boats was how one got around. Usually the outing would include lunch in another town and visiting some shops, which I'll come back to in a minute. Go for walks or hikes: a.) Our very favorite hike was up to the Shrine above town and La Crocetta, taking along a light picnic lunch. We did this twice. b.) Next favorite: Villa Sebelloni, in Bellagio. This walk is in the Rockefeller Estate (entry fee) which is a long, mostly uphill walk with a guide leading the way. Her office is in the square tower which is to the back right corner of the plaza, as one faces the Church in Bellagio. The views in every direction are magnificent. c.) Another really nice walk was around Lago Piano, a very rural walk which goes through a bird sanctuary. This was another "step back in time", which was quite other worldly. This walk is # 7, described in the brochure "A Piedi nei Dintorni di Menaggio", which the English speaking lady at the tourist center downstairs provided. She was very helpful to us. d.) Twice we hiked around the upper town. Twice we walked about 3 miles along the road (very scary in places) to the north of Menaggio, riding the bus back. Favorite restaurants: Our usual plan for the day included lunch at a restaurant. We didn't often eat out at night. 1.) La Punta in Bellagio. Walk up hill past the Villa Serbelloni Hotel, perhaps a mile from the boat dock, to the very tip of the peninsula. 2.) We went to the Tuesday market in Lenno three times. In Lenno, go to the end of the market. Turn right, going past the ancient Baptistery, to the a parallel street where the Market continues. Turn right. About where the Market ends, on the right side of the street is a rather plain looking restaurant with a 10 Euro fixed menu near the door. Inside, turn left to go downstairs. It was so much fun to dine in what looked like an ancient wine cellar that we kept coming back...but I don't know the name of the restaurant. 3.) The yummiest food for the price was at the restaurant at Villa Carlotta. 4.) We went to Red Bay many times including my 70th birthday lunch. 5.) Chic and Freak's was another place we especially liked. Our first meal in Menaggio was on their terrace, and we came back often. Favorite shop: In Varenna, along the water, Giorgio's shop, which sells jewelry and minerals was one we came back to over and over again. Can't remember the name of the place, but the walk-way goes through a covered area which is part of his shop. He has a few unusual items outside in this area to alert you that you've found an interesting place. Places not to be missed: 1.) Villa Carlotta 2.) Rockefeller Estate Good advice for Americans arriving at Malpensa: Take the train as you, Harold, directed. But it is the second stop where you change trains. Having made the change, go to the third stop which has the name Como (Lago) in it. Instead of taking the bus to Menaggio, take the rapido boat. The initial trip to Menaggio will be far less harrowing than riding the bus. And finally, for Andrea: The van which you arranged for the 6 of us to take to Malpensa was a perfect solution since we needed to arrive at the airport so early. Our driver came exactly on time, and although it was raining very hard, we got to the airport in plenty of time. Bravo! For Bryan and George: Thank you for your services. I did 4 paintings, only so-so, from the upstairs terrace after you brought me a stool to stand on. Thank you also for stocking the apartment with extra books. We read several. Pictures to share: I am doing several big pictures from my photos right now. One, from La Crocetta, looks promising. When it's finished, if it looks as pretty as I hope it will, I'll email you a shot of it. I hope I am capturing a perfect day in a perfect place, when we were all perfectly happy and content with the world. Thank you for making our April such a delight.

This place needs some work.

The four of us have rented mini VRBO‘s and this is our first disappointment ever. We walked into the downstairs bathroom and there was a filthy rag on the shelf in one bedroom the curtains were blood spattered and there seem to be blood on one of the door facing us. It begin to rain at which point the ceiling leaked and we could hear the trip of the water all night. We would have overlooked all of this except we could get no response from management. There was an emergency number to call because we were a bit nervous about the leaking ceiling and they didn’t get back with us until the next day and then didn’t do anything about it. This is a property in a perfect setting that could be really nice but the owner needs to pay some attention to detail. We think the problem is that the management company doesn’t care at all.

Beautiful Menaggio

Great stop and a beautiful apartment. The process of getting from the train to the unit was not clearly laid out. I recoomend getting ferry boat to Menaggio. You can book the slow ferry on line. It's takes about 2 1/2 hours to get there from Como. But it is a beautiful trip. You can buy tickets for the fast Ferry(45minutes) but you can only buy them at the Ferry office at the dock on the day of use.. Long line and may not be avilable. The bus is an option but good luck on trying to understand that process. I loved the apartment and the area and it was worth all the confusion getting there. Thanks Woody

Tolle Wohnung in bester Lage

Wir mussten wegen technischer Probleme mit Strom und Gas bereits 4 Tage früher abreisen als geplant. Dennoch haben wir entschieden 5* Sterne zu vergeben. Warum? Die Lage der Wohnung ist absolut zentral. Vom Balkon aus konnten wir dem Pianisten auf dem Marktplatz lauschen. Wie ein Privatkonzert. Trotz 30 Grad war die Wohnung immer angenehm temperiert und das ohne Klimaanlage. Es war sehr sauber und es fehlte in der Ausstattung an nichts. Als die technischen Probleme auftraten war die Agentur immer erreichbar, freundlich und kümmerte sich umgehend um eine Lösung. Leider war das Problem nicht so schnell zu beheben. So etwas kann aber immer und überall passieren. Die Rückzahlung war schon auf unserem Konto bevor wir wieder daheim waren. Besser geht es nicht! Wir werden nächstes Jahr wieder kommen.
