Floor-to-ceiling windows frame a panoramic sweep of central Lake Como from the living room, and the garden runs straight off it – so whether you're on the lawn with a drink or inside, the water is always in view. A shared pool with a sun deck overlooks the lake too, making it easy to fill the day without going anywhere at all. When you do venture out, Menaggio's lakefront promenade is a fifteen-minute walk away, and the ferry to Varenna's harbour and cliffside castle ruins is a short ride across the water.
