Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Perched on the western shore of Lake Como, just a few metres from the beach, this home is something special. The lakefront views are the definition of swoon-worthy, and you can admire them from the private Jacuzzi or sunny terrace. It's an excellent option for larger groups, as the layout is spread across a ground-floor apartment and a first-floor penthouse. That means you'll have two kitchens and two living spaces to take advantage of. Menaggio is one of the area's prettiest towns, and its many attractions and amenities are within easy reach. Your host can also provide kayaks and bicycles upon request and is happy to arrange extras like private chefs and boat rentals for an additional fee.
