Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated right on the western shore of the beloved Lake Como, this apartment overlooks the lake from the balcony – ideal for a peaceful morning coffee out in the fresh air. Only a few meters from the beach, the location also puts you within easy driving distance of bars, restaurants and the golf course in Menggio, and Como City is great for a day trip. You can take one of three kayaks out onto the water, but with them being shared with the other apartment, you best be quick or opt for a bicycle to explore the surroundings instead.

Home truths
We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's parking space for up to three cars here
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
Bicycles and kayaks are available for guests to use during their stay, but they are shared with one other apartment.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is 1.2km away.
While one bathroom isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
