Bella Menaggio Terrazzo, Menaggio, Italy

Soak up breathtaking Lake Como views and a strategic holiday setting, just a 4-minute walk from central Menaggio and the car/passenger ferry!

As befits its Italian name ‘Mozzafiato’, which loosely translates to ‘breathtaking’, this gorgeous 3-bedroom holiday retreat is located in a quiet private residence and is recommended for families or mature groups. It makes the most of its elevated location on the Menaggio hills which offer superior lake views from its sunny and spacious private terrace.

Inside, the modern 1st-floor retreat features a functional, well-equipped and recently renovated layout; perfect for relaxation and entertaining. In the main large living area, guests can kick back and relax within the generous open plan lake view incorporating a roomy Living room, Dining area, and Reading area in front of a new pellet fireplace and a brand new Kitchen.

Guests can enjoy unwinding on the sumptuous sofa, which is accompanied by a 65” flat screen smart TV (internet abled for Netflix etc.) and a Blue-Ray DVD player. The apartment also includes two CD stereo and iPod speakers and free in-house WiFi. A dedicated reading/Study area also features next to the Living room and includes a recently added pellet fireplace.

Within the open-plan Living room, the accompanying dining area enjoys lake views and provides a wonderful setting for serving up year-round family feasts. French and sliding doors enable groups to spill out onto the breathtaking panoramic lake view terrace, which features a charming alfresco dining set and is easily the ‘wow-factor’ of this apartment. The spectacular vista stretches out across the Central Lake and encompasses Menaggio centre and the picturesque resort town of Varenna, which is nestled along the unspoilt eastern shore.

Those looking to savour an easy-going self-catering stay will appreciate the recently high-quality renovated open-plan Kitchen equipped with a microwave, oven, cooker hob, electric kettle, coffee machine, toaster, two wine fridges and a fridge freezer.

Outside, the spacious sunny panoramic lake view terrace is furnished with open-air seating perfect for an afternoon beverage or lounging. The apartment also includes a secure undercover reserved car parking space.

The location of the property and the views from the apartment terrace was spectacular. Unfortunately it felt that was apartment was not well maintained. The layout was great but it had electrical issues. None of the appliances worked. The morning that we left, I woke up to the smell of burnt cable. We quickly packed up and left because of the strong toxic smell. If it wasn’t for the electrical issues, I would say it’s worth staying there but it’s not.

Electrical issues
Property was as advertised and had a great view but we experienced some major issues with the electrical service to the unit tripping on and off for one day and then the following day we had zero electrical power as the unit breaker would not hold on. We notified the management company but they didn’t respond and then we had two maintenance guys show up to replace a stove with no warning and they never looked at the electrical power issues. I would not rent this unit again and it’s sad as the property was nice

Spectacular!!
What an incredible property! This rental was better than expected- especially the view! Check in was smooth- the Lake Como staff was pleasant and accommodating. They answered many questions for us about things to do in the local area. We loved being able to walk to town and there was a nice little market to buy groceries to cook at home. We had many meals on the deck while we enjoyed the view. We also loved being so close to the ferry. We were able to have dinner in Bellagio one evening and catch the last ferry back. We had a wonderful stay!

Even More Spectacular
The property was perfect for me and my 2 girlfriends. We each had our own room. The back is more suitable for kids and therefore, we used the pullout sofa in the front. This place could also be great for 2 families with kids. A little confusing of getting to and in the property. However, once figuring that out, it was easy. Close to town and easy to walk around, especially once you see path to cross street. Definitely need to be careful crossing the road. Loved it and would stay here again!

Lakefront views!
We were a family of 5 plus my Mother-in-Law. This was the perfect size place for us! Kitchen was well stocked with every pot/pan you ever need! The place was great and open so we could cook and chat at the same time. The stove could use some repair, as the gas took ages to turn on, and the dishwasher was a little tricky to close. But, the property mgmt folks addressed the dishwasher immediately and send someone to fix it so that we could use it. The location is really perfect - five minute walk to the ferry and small grocery store. We would definitely come back again!

Beautiful view, but not inside
The view was amazing. The place it’s self was, O. K. I would not go back to same property as it wasn’t very clean and I ended up spending a day cleaning and making beds. Zero starters as well. Even a roll of paper towels would have been nice. Just not a good experience there for us. Make sure you get full instructions on washer and dryer, and lights in the house.

Tremendous view, but prepare to climb steps!
Overall my family enjoyed our stay in this apartment. What we liked best was, of course, the view! Aside from that, the indoor furniture was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, including a dishwasher. The beds were fairly comfortable and the linens decent. Nice washer and dryer for clothes. And the location relative to the main entertainment district of Menaggio, and in particular the Ferry station, was quite good. However, some things you may want to know, that the listing itself probably doesn’t tell you: - The parking space/garage is very small. If you have anything larger than a compact car, prepare for a difficult task to get the vehicle in the space without hitting a concrete pillar. Don’t even think about trying to get a large SUV (Chevy Tahoe, Land Rover, etc.) in there! - There are numerous steps to climb in order to reach the apartment from the road below. So if you have poor mobility or other health problems, I would think twice about this. There is another way to avoid the steps, but it would be a much longer walk in most cases, up/down a steep road. - There are other units in this building, and lots of signs about keeping quiet. So if your group tends to make a lot of noise, maybe not the best fit!

Could be So Much More
While we enjoyed our stay, and generally liked this condo for its location, view, etc., with just a little attention to detail, maintenance, and responsiveness, this place could be so much better. A few minor issues are to be expected, but there were far too many. For starters, the entrance gate doesn't open unless you pull the car further back than you would think, so not the best start to our stay, (others had the same problem). Door locks are also an issue, and the main lock for exiting the building would only work by using a key for the first 2 days, which is not very safe in an emergency. The condo also had a distinct order of a bad air freshener that was likely used to mask something like cigarette smoke. It got better after we aired out, but was still apparent the whole time. That, coupled with lights that didn't work in the master, sheets and blankets that were entirely too small for the bedding, not enough towels, and a clogged sink in the master bath made for a great deal of unnecessary frustration. And my attempt to email them to address some of these issues wasn't even given the courtesy of a response. Finally, there's a stairway down to the village that avoids walking down the road. However, the gate at the top, into the condos, auto-locks at some point, which is fine, but they don't tell you when that is, so I walked all they way up only to have to go all the way back down. Easy things to address, but far too many to overlook.

Sorry, but I cannot recommend
We had high expectations for this place based on the photos and the listing, but were disappointed. First, this place is not quiet. It is very hot there, and since there is no a/c, you have to keep the windows open. It’s near the city, so there is constant noise from trash pick-up, vehicles, parties, etc. There were also lots of flies in the house and cigarette smoke from one of the neighbors that routinely filled the house. The house smelled like urine from time to time. We think it came from either the neighbors cat from the apartment above or from one the plants outside. Our bedroom had NO door. That's right, NO door. It appeared to be kicked in and we found it laying out back. There was a small room divider that was being used as a door, which was UNSATISFACTORY! We tried to contact the host per the instructions, but they NEVER responded. The place has more furniture than the pictures, most of which is unnecessary and it cluttered the place. We could not use the TV because it had the wrong plug. We could not get the washer/dryer to work (yes we followed the instructions). I'm not sure what is going on with this place, but it needs some help. The view from the patio was great, and we enjoyed that. There is a designated parking spot in the garage, but you better have a compact car (which we did) because that is all that will fit. Overall, there are better places to stay in Menaggio that also have great views.

Urlaub mit drei Generationen
Wir sind mit unseren vier Kindern und den Großeltern gereist. Wir hatten genügend Platz für alle, nur am Esstisch war es etwas eng. Leider ist die Küche zum Kochen nicht so toll ausgestattet, es war nicht mal Spülmittel vorhanden, zu den Töpfen gab es keinen passenden Deckel… der Toaster schafft nur zwei Scheiben gleichzeitig, was bei acht Personen dann leider sehr lange dauert. Keinerlei Gewürze oder so vorrätig, nicht mal Salz. Der Parkplatz ist eng, war aber kein Problem. Das zweite Auto konnten wir im Ort kostenlos parken. Die Lage ist toll, wir waren vier Tage dort und haben alles zu Fuß und mit Schiff unternommen. Die Atmosphäre mit dem Garten und der tollen Aussicht ist etwas ganz besonderes!

Five out of five stars!
Our group of friends had a wonderful stay in this property. We really enjoyed the incredible view, the state of the art bathrooms, new kitchen appliances, nice washer and dryer, comfortable furniture inside and out, plenty of closet space and electrical outlets, quiet and safe neighborhood, and lovely welcome basket. Also the property managers are very responsive, answered all questions, came over to show us how to operate the dryer and the TV and quickly resolved a few minor drain clogs. The only inconvenience was that we could not run more than one major appliance at a time without blowing a fuse. No big deal, we just were careful with the oven, microwave, dryer, and hair dryer not to run them at the same time. There are plenty of standing fans in the apartment and you will need them since there is no air conditioning. One surprising thing is that they only supply one roll of toilet paper per bathroom- even though we stayed for 16 days. The previous reviews prepared us for the walk uphill to the apartment, but we are in good shape, it was worth it to enjoy the beautiful view, and we appreciated the exercise! We will definitely come back!

Not bad in Mennagio
The property is as advertised. The pictures are accurate. The parking spot is for a small car only! I had amis sized car and could not park! The management was No help! Parking in Menaggio is a nightmare in general and when I could not park my car in the slot provided, I was told I could look for a spot in town. Impossible!!!! Overall not a bad property but I would think twice if you have anything but a very small car!

Tolle Lage mit Einschränkungen
Die Wohnung ist groß und hat eine atemberaubende Aussicht von der Terasse. Menaggio kann von hier aus zu Fuß super erkundet werden. Aber das Kinderzimmer ist eine Zumutung. Es dient im Winterhalbjahr offensichtlich als Abstellkammer (5 Ventilatoren, 2 alte zusammengerollte Teppiche, ein Paravent, 2 Staubsauger, Wischutensilien, Decken & Co.). Das Doppelstockett ist nicht schön und nur das untere ist nutzbar. Das obere wackelt viel zu sehr für Kinder, die älter als 6 Jahre sind. Ein Kind musste im Wohnzimmer schlafen. Ein Teil der Wohnung ist offensichtlich saniert und in Ordnung. In einem der Bäder gibt es praktisch keine Ablagen und eine der Duschen ist nicht nutzbar, da der Duschkopf nicht dicht ist. Der Duschvorhang war teilweise abgerissen und schon mehrfach provisorisch repariert. Das Licht am Spiegel funktioniert nicht, genauso wie einige Steckdosen. Zuletzt ist auch der Geschirrspüler kaum nutzbar, da nicht mehr in der Küchenzeile verankert. In vollem Zustand kippt der Geschirrspüler heraus. Wir waren mit einem VW-Bus angereist. Für diesen ist der zur Wohnung gehörende Parkplatz so gut wie nicht nutzbar, da zu eng. Wir haben mit den Anwohnern getauscht (sehr nett, Danke). Wir haben trotzdem in der Wohnung zu sechst eine schöne Woche verbracht. Man kann die Zeit genießen. Allerdings ist für diesen Qualitätszustand der Preis deutlich zu hoch. Wir hatten auch einen Stromausfall, allerdings wurde uns vom Vermieter hier prompt und sehr kompetent geholfen. Die oben aufgeführten Mängel haben wir dem Vermieter am Folgetag der Anreise mitgeteilt und bis heute keine Antwort erhalten. Das ist unprofessionell und enttäuschend.
