Needs some improvement
The location in Menaggio was very convenient and the view was outstanding. It was also great to have a driveway that could easily fit two cars. However, there were a few items that could have greatly improved my family's stay. - Extra towels (including hand towels in the kitchen). For a group of 9 staying 1 week, it is a little inconvenient having to use the same towel all week. - I asked for the pool technician to come by and heat the pool, however, to my understanding no one came. The host advised that they may not be able to heat because September was too hot? It was 12-20 degrees for the majority of our stay. Would have been great to actually be able to enjoy the pool - zero spices in the kitchen, not even salt and olive oil - the kettle in the kitchen was filled with mold - Full-sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash would have been welcome. My family bought some at the nearby grocery store because the little sample sized packets of shampoo were hardly sufficient - Wifi did not work for the first 12 or so hours and a technician needed to arrive to resolve the issue A car rental is definitely recommended in this area as it is difficult to get taxis and the roads do not have sidewalks and are very narrow and winding. Beautiful view walking down but also very dangerous. All in all, my family made do, however for this price point, a few improvements can go a long way to making this a stellar experience for guests.

Too hard to get to
Property is fairly far away from the town. Although the property was newish and clean, there were several design flaws, including no place to put shampoo or soap in the showers and no dimmers on the lights in the living room. So you could either be in the dark or in extremely bright lights. Was also surprised they didn’t provide coffee or the basics like paper towels.

Villa stay
Wonderful villa with everything you need. Including heated floors! Had trouble with airconditioning and someone was at the villa immediately. It was easy to find and parking for 2 cars was perfect. We would definitely recommend this villa.

Location excellent - house needs some repaiea
The size of the house and the location worked very well for our group of 8. Menaggio is a terrific location to explore Lake Como. However, there are some significant items to mention that need attention. The basement bedroom is very very musty and damp and that level desperately needs a dehumidifier. The washing machine leaked water on the floor. The sink in the 3rd floor en suite bedroom did not drain at all, and the air conditioner in the top floor twin bedroom leaks all over the floor(we had a pot to gather water) and the ceiling paint and sheetrock in that area are falling off from the moisture - the wall has pink mold. All things that can be repaired but do need repair.

Nice house, zero communication
3 separate times I emailed the company that rents out the house. I tried through the vrbo app and through the company website. Twice was asking weeks before our arrival if the pool would be open as we arrived right before the June 1 pool open date. Last was during our stay regarding the washing machine being broken and if it could be repaired before we left. No response of any kind, and the washer may still be broken for the next guess. But aside from that, house was great. Don't advise walking to Mennagio as the streets are narrow with no sidewalks and the hill is steep.

Great place to stay in Menaggio
Beautiful house overlooking Menaggio and Lake Como. Amazing view. Spacious accommodation with room for up to 10 people on three levels. Only problem we had was with the washing machine which was not working properly but otherwise would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Lake paradise
This property was amazing! With a spectacular view of the lake and easy access to grocery markets it was a perfect spot to relax while having all the lake has to offer within a few minutes drive. My family did not want to leave and I hope some day we can come back, this was a highlight of our trip and I couldn't be happier with the property and the experience. Thank you!
