Menaggio Tosca 2, Menaggio, Italy

While away your holiday in central Menaggio, from this spacious retreat with tempting lakeside balcony!

Located in the centre of Menaggio and with a private lake view balcony for company, this gorgeous family and group-friendly retreat offers an effortless holiday base for groups of 6. Its strategic location places guests within a stone’s throw of the ferry and resort amenities, enabling you to leave the car at home.

On entering the fully WiFi-enabled 1st floor apartment, steps lead down to the first sitting room, which is a light and airy modern space with sofa suite and flat screen TV. The lovely room also features a partial reclaimed fresco ceiling and leads through to the main family Living room. The generous size room enjoys a bright and welcoming open plan layout; with picture windows and balcony access on hand to make the most of the far-reaching lake views. The romantic lake back drop is certainly something to write home about! The comfortable sofa suite and flat screen TV provide every excuse to kick back and take in the views, whilst the adjoining open Kitchen diner with partly reclaimed fresco ceiling, breakfast bar for 2 and a dining table for 4 sets the scene for enjoying tasty home-cooked meals. Guests will find the Kitchen fully equipped with a cooker hob, oven, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, coffee machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer.

The serene, modern apartment features 2 generous size bedrooms which are both furnished with a Double bed and provide an ambient, restful setting for tempting holiday slumbers. A third guest bedroom next to the main Living room features a glass brick wall for light, and is furnished with 2 separate Single beds, a hanging rail and a chest of drawers.

The main modern family bathroom also features a partial alfresco ceiling and is equipped with a bath tub and shower tap, a separate shower cubicle, a wash basin, a WC and bidet.
A second modern bathroom is equipped with a shower cubicle, a wash basin, WC and bidet. Private laundry facilities are also provided, for added convenience whilst away.

The private sunny lake view balcony is furnished with a café bistro set for 2 and enjoys views of bobbing boats and the famous resort towns of Bellagio and Varenna. The magical setting creates an inspiring back drop for morning coffees, lazy sun bathes and savouring a chilled glass of Prosecco at sunset. The lakeside residence also benefits from its own communal shingle lake beach.

For added flexibility, the apartment can be rented alongside 2 other apartments in the same building (Menaggio Tosca 1 ID 2815 and Menaggio Tosca 3 ID 2817), enabling larger families and groups to enjoy carefree convenience and proximity during their stay.

The 1st floor apartment is situated in a 4-storey mixed-purpose residence, which is located along the main lakeside road into town. From the convenient communal street entrance, the road leads in no time to the quaint harbour, the café-lined piazzas and shop-lined streets of central Menaggio, as well as the town’s ferry stop for days out sightseeing (all a 1-minute walk away).

Location:

The residence enjoys a convenient town location, along Via Novembre. Guests are situated one floor above the Lake Como Holiday office, where they can learn more about the fun activities on offer, as well as receive tourist information and book in extra concierge service to help enhance their stay.

Just a 1-minute stroll down the road leads to the pretty, timeless harbour of Menaggio and the family-friendly lakeside centre; which offers everything one could need during a self-catering stay, including supermarkets, delicatessens, boutique gift shops, café-lined piazzas and authentic array of Italian restaurants and bars to enjoy. Menaggio is also home to a popular family Lido with two outside pools, a sandy lake beach, volleyball court, play area, on-site pizzeria and glamourous lakeside cocktail lounge bar. A frequent ferry service operates from the town to the famous central lake resort towns of Varenna ( a romantic town with a delightful old town to explore and the Castello di Vezio to trek up to), Bellagio (a beautiful resort with buzzing cafes, restaurants, gift shops, a lido and the Villa Melzi gardens to discover) and Cadenabbia (for historical walking routes, lidos and Villa Carlotta attraction).

Alongside its Lido, Menaggio also offers opportunities for lake swimming, kayak and power boat rental, fishing, cycling, hiking and a game of tennis or golf up on its scenic hillside.

Perfectly placed along the desirable central western shore, the pretty resort town places guests within easy reach by car, bus or ferry from the Tremezzina restaurants, lidos, walking routes (Sacro Monte di Ossuccio, Greenway del Lago, San Martino) and the famous villa attractions.

The Italian Alp Ski resorts of Piani di Bobbio and Madesimo (within 85 minutes’ drive away) and the cosmopolitan delights Lugano (40 minutes’ drive away) all offer reasons to come and stay throughout the year.

Como city is under 60 minutes’ drive away and can also be reached via air-conditioned bus or fast passenger ferry from Menaggio.
Milan is 1.5 hours’ drive away (reached by a ferry across the lake and then train from Varenna or in the south from the main S. Giovanni station in Como). The closest airport to Menaggio is Milan Malpensa (approximately 80 minutes’ drive) and Lugano Airport (approximately 50 minutes’ drive).

Nice place on the lake
Most of the place is very nice. The space with the view of the lake and balcony is very nice. The bedrooms could use some good lights as you can't see what you are doing with the small bedside lamps. Also, the place was very stingy with providing necessities. No dish soap to wash dishes and only two rolls of toilet paper for 5 people for 4 days. They did provide a complimentary welcome gift with a bottle of white wine and some snacks that we did not drink or eat. I would shop right away for what you need as there is a nice grocery store down the street.

Perfect location
This was the perfect location in the most wonderful town. Easy walking access to ferry, restaurants, grocery and bakeries. We loved it here so much we asked to stay an additional night. The balcony was our favorite spot. We loved hearing the sounds of Menaggio. The motorcycles are noisy at night on the weekends as we kept the windows open but this location was perfect. The host was so kind to come help us when we had a small issue and we enjoyed his helpful knowledge of the area.

Great views, loved the easy access from the ferry which made the location particularly good for visitors without a car. The bedroom with twin beds is very small and would be better for children but we did ok. Fans are provided which we really appreciated. Staff in the office were wonderful and very helpful.

Great Location
The only reason this didn’t get a 5 is because of the listing information. 1) The “private beach” is unusable. Trash and debris made it impossible to enjoy but we weren’t there to swim. 2) There is NO parking. Menaggio in general has very limited parking. We literally spent 3 hours of our first day driving around hoping a paid or free spot would open up (we arrived on a Monday, the end of May) We finally found a spot 1 mile away in an alley. We managed to move it closer, a couple times, over our three night stay but still it was a long way away especially with luggage. If we visit this area again we will leave the car and use the train/bus/ferry as we have in the past. Great location and spectacular lake views.

Well main down side of the property is absence of A/C, and believe me in the scorching heat aren't fun at all. Location is perfect. Lake view from terrace stunning. As to the office staff rather disappointed. There was no introduction of the area grocery shopping, get around, property rules, emergency procedures, private beach access?!? We were handed an envelop with two sets of keys, from rather stone cold receptionist (office is located next door to property entrance) without any courtesy at all?!? Pretty much felt like we weren't welcome at all?!? Even for the internet access I had to go back to the office for assistance.

Fantastic view from balcony.
Well positioned, with easy reach of cafe, restaurant, shops and ferry. Not luxurious, but most essentials in place for a comfortable stay. Fantastic position for views of sunrise and sunset over the lake from the balcony and you can swim from a small beach below / lakeside. The late night noise from mopeds/scooters, revving at the traffic lights, below the bedrooms might put light sleepers off!

Perfect location & setting
The 2 of us were travelling through northern Italy by train, so we wanted to stay somewhere within walking distance of the ferry...and preferably with a lakefront view. This unit was perfect on both counts: a 5-minute walk from the ferry and a huge picture window looking over Lake Como, Bellagio, and Varenna. It wass fun watching the ferries and boats come and go. One afternoon it rained, and we simply relaxed in the apartment enjoying the view.The unit is also about 2 blocks from Menaggio's historic district and restaurants, and there's a supermarket nearby too. While the unit is clean and the view is stunning, it is sparsely furnished with some rather beat-up couches and tables. There are two living rooms. The interior room, with no windows, has seating for 5 and a TV. The other room, a combination living room/dining room/kitchen, is very large and bright. It also has seating for 5 plus a dining table seating 6. The balcony now has 4 wicker chairs and a wicker bench. The two bedrooms with twin/king beds face the street, near a traffic light, so there's some traffic noise, although this dies down at night (this is Menaggio, after all, not Milan). I used a white noise app on my phone which helped. The dark red curtains do a good job blocking light. The third bedroom has two somewhat uncomfortable twin mattresses and no window--there are some glass blocks in the wall between the bedroom and the larger living room. It would be fine for children but probably uncomfortable for adults. We didn't cook in the unit, so we can't really comment on how well the kitchen is equipped, but if there's something you think you'll need, ask before booking. There is no microwave; there is an American-style drip coffeemaker. One bathroom has a washer, iron, ironing board, and drying rack. The unit is directly over the property manager's office, and the staff were very helpful with advice about the unit and the area. The check-out list says to put trash in the "bins." We found out these refer to town recycling bins a block away. While you're in Menaggio, check them out so you know how to sort your trash, and allow time to take the trash down there before you leave. Altogether we really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this unit for the location, view, and service. But if you want a place that's nicely furnished, you may want to look elsewhere.

Great apartment in perfect location
We spent eight nights in Menaggio, and the apartment and location were perfect for us. You can easily stay here without the need for a car, as the ferry terminal to all the local sight and villages is a short walk away. Menaggio has all of the conveniences that you would need - supermarket, bank, restaurants, bars and cafes, and shops for holiday shopping. The apartment is clean and bright, and was perfect for us (two couples), with large rooms and plenty of space. The view from the living room and small patio is amazing. The apartment contained everything that you would need for a great holiday stay. Hope to get back there. Thanks

Es lebt vom Ort..
Alles in allem sehr schön, besonders natürlich die Lage! Buchung, Kommunikation und alles war super..Aber: Die Möbel sind alt, die Couches zerschlissen und zum Teil extra mit einem Tuch abgedeckt..auf manchen kann man nicht sitzen. Die Ausstattung der Küche ist mager..Alles ist bis auf den Löffel abgezählt (6 Personen möglich, aber nur fünf Löffel, ist sehr sparsam eingerichtet). Es ist nichts da, keine Basics wie Salz, Pfeffer etc. Selbst bei wenigen Tagen muss alles extra gekauft werden..dafür ein kleines Willkommenspaket mit Wein, Schokolade und anderen Sachen..das war top!
