Perched in the hills above Menaggio, this apartment is all about the view – and it earns that claim from almost every corner. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors in each bedroom frame Lake Como and the garden below, while the lake-view living room puts the water front and centre. Outside, a private garden with sun loungers is made for slow afternoons, and the shared pool next door backs onto Alpine peaks. Bellagio, Lake Como's most enchanting village of steep cobbled lanes, is a thirty-nine-minute drive when you're ready to explore.

Home truths

  • Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. One parking space is available.

  • Air conditioning is only available in two of the four bedrooms, so the other two rooms rely on natural ventilation.

  • The apartment is part of a small complex of connected units sharing a hallway and pool – it's privately laid out, but you will have neighbours nearby rather than having the building to yourself.

  • The communal pool is open from 15th May to 30th September.
