Clean spacious accommodations. Lovely outdoor pool and patio furniture and good parking space. Also thank you for the welcome pack which was well received especially after arriving late evening.A 30 minute walk into Menaggio up a very steep hill.Despite good directions from owner still very hard to find especially in the dark, needs a signpost at side of the road.Despite it being a private garden and pool had Americans in neighbouring villa wanting to share the pool, they were politely declined.

This was a solid 3 stars for us. First, the view of the mountains and the lake from the pool does not exist and hasn’t for years. There are 10’ high bushes that completely block the view. We told the management about it and they gave us a small rebate. It was very disappointing because we booked this ‘villa’ (a townhouse) due to the picture of the pool. Also important to note that the bed slopes so your feet are higher than your head. It was nice to have the pool to ourselves. But there isn’t much privacy. We had a loud kid in the unit next to us that made enjoying the view (from the front yard) difficult. For the price it was fine. But it wasn’t as shown.

Summer stay
Great property, really appreciated the welcome boxes which were waiting for us on arrival.
Only downside was the lawns were quite long and unmown, the key wasn't available when we turned up and the pool was dirty when we arrived (to their credit they sent someone to clean the pool asap).

Basics ungenügend
Sauberkeit war Verbesserungswürdig. Pool musste von uns selbst gereinigt werden. Equipment wie zB Toaster, Kaffeemaschine, Staubsauger nur bedingt funktionsfähig. Zu wenig Geschirr vorhanden. Putz- und Trockentücher gar nicht vorhanden. Nur ein Sonnenschirm und dieser war beschädigt.
Aus dem Inserat ist nicht ersichtlich dass direk nebenan ein weiteres Grundstück ist, womit man bzgl. Lautstärke stark beeinträchtigt ist von anderen Urlaubern.
Die Aussicht hingegen ist sehr.
Alles in allem jedoch zu dem Preis + Zustand nicht empfehlenswert.

Keine zweite Chance für den ersten Eindruck
Wir hatten uns wirklich sehr auf dieses Wochenende gefreut, aber anscheinend waren wir die ersten Gäste der Saison und dementsprechend war das Haus nicht richtig vorbereitet. Ja, die Betten waren bezogen und Handtücher waren da und den Pool hatte man vorzeitig auf unseren Wunsch eingelassen, aber man hätte ihn vorher auch putzen sollen. Das Gras war nicht gemäht und auch die Terrassenmöbel und Liegen waren noch im Keller. In den Festerscharniere und draußen unter der Decke hingen Spinnweben. Der Backofen war völlig verdreckt und der Teppich im EG war nicht gesaugt (es gab 2 Saubsauger, die beide kaputt waren). Die Duschtür im 1. OG konnte nicht ganz geschlossen werden. Das Bad im Souterrain und die Kissen auf der Couch dort hatten massive Stockflecken. In der Küche gab es keinen großen Topf zum Kochen.
Das Haus an sich und die Lage sind TOP! Die Agentur hat sich bemüht, und uns zwei mal den Hausmeister (der sich wirklich ein großes Lob verdient hat) und zwei mal die Putzleute geschickt (es war trotzdem nicht richtig sauber). Trotzdem ärgert man sich über soviel Unprofessionalität und dass jedesmal das Wochenende unterbrochen wurde.
