Perched above Menaggio's historic marina, this loft apartment gives you Lake Como from a rooftop terrace that earns its place as the main event – panoramic water views, ferries drifting past, and the kind of evenings that are hard to leave. The town's waterfront is right on your doorstep, and with Bellagio, Varenna, and Como all reachable by ferry or bus from Menaggio, the whole lake opens up. A private garage rounds things out – a rarity in a busy lakeside town. Worth noting: the apartment sits on the fourth floor with no lift.

Home truths
The apartment is on the fourth floor and there is no lift, so you'll be carrying luggage – and yourself – up several flights of stairs on arrival and departure. This may not suit guests with mobility concerns or very heavy bags.
Your private garage is a genuine perk in Menaggio, but it's a three-minute walk from the apartment building rather than directly below it – worth knowing when you're unloading.
