great location but needs some help
it was plenty of room for the 6 of us but the supplies limited and no coffee and i wasnt gonna buy it for 2 days, it would have been nice to have along with paper towels and tissue. had to keep trash in apartment till we left and since we did takeout there was alot. the wash machine leaked so we couldnt do but 1 load and the dryer must be clogged because it got so hot inside cuz moisture could not escape and the dryer stopped working at one point. But the location was great and easy to get to ferry for other towns.

Excellent Property
We had a great stay in Menaggio. I was there with my wife, my two teenage sons and my mother in law. The space worked great for all of us. The location is perfect. Right in the Menaggio town square. There was live music on Thursday night in the square, which was loud, but ended up being very nice. They didn’t go late, so it didn’t affect us negatively. Location is walking distance to the ferry so we could explore other locations. Lots of restaurants and shopping very close. Would stay here again, but longer next time.

Fantastic location / beautiful views
You will get what you pay for with the wonderful location, but I would say it was far from luxury. The furniture was IKEA. The master bedroom had paper taped onto the windows. The kitchen sink didn’t work (and when I communicated this to the management company they tried to pass me off to someone else so we left it as is and hope they have fixed it since).
This all being said, the location is wonderful. Close to everything in Menaggio and a short walk to the ferry to Varenna and Bellagio.
If you are looking for a luxurious stay, this isn’t it, but it is convenient.

Great apartment for a group. Five of us fit comfortably in the house using all three bedrooms. It was an easy process to pick up the keys at the property management office and a short walk to the apartment. The property manager was very helpful in giving local information about the ferry, grocery store, etc. Would highly recommend the property.

Fantastico Menaggio is not so Fantastico!
The pictures are very inaccurate and make the place look a lot bigger than it is.
No parking and bag drop was an issue, parking instructions were confusing.
Staff were not helpful, we had several issues with the kitchen sink, TV and beds, they sent someone out and he was impolite, rude.
No dish towels or paper towels in the kitchen, showers are mediocre at best.
Beds are so old that the sink on the middle.
Kitvhen sink tap is not working properly and you almost have to break it trying to get it to work, we could not get it working, some poor guest will break it trying to open it and get stuck with the bill to replace.
Key drop off was also an issue as we were told drop at office, but the office was closed.
I would not recommend staying here

Location Fantastico but yup, needs work
Location is beyond compare! So charming, peaceful and relaxing especially being at the center of the quaint town plaza.Use the Trenord Rail train from Milan to the S.Guiovanni IF you want to take the bus to Menaggio. Train/bus station are the same building and you can get bus tickets in the little shop.One of us came a day later and went on Trenitalia to the other station which is not near buses- ended up lost in Como and had to call a cab to get to Menaggio.You don't need a car. Grocery is an easy walk and lots of restaurant choices nearby. Favorite was the Ristorante Del Porto - every first bite started with "wow" and have local fish which they did expertly. Short walk to the ferry station for easy exploring of the nearby towns - all delightful.
The apartment location was amazing, and the views unbelievable. Very spacious and nice updates in the bathrooms. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and had a thoughtful welcome package with wine when we arrived!
Need to be honest about the cleanliness, which others mentioned.Figured it would be cleaned by now but nope- still has red something splashed on the bathroom curtains, gross layer of greasy dust on window coverings, spider webs in beams, light fixtures with broken or missing covers, and the deck chairs covered with dirt.Some appliances barely worked. Not fantastico. Requested late checkout (10 is EARLY) as per policy well ahead and they were unwilling to work with us. Lack of customer service/cleanliness disappointing.

This place needs some work.
The four of us have rented mini VRBO‘s and this is our first disappointment ever. We walked into the downstairs bathroom and there was a filthy rag on the shelf in one bedroom the curtains were blood spattered and there seem to be blood on one of the door facing us. It begin to rain at which point the ceiling leaked and we could hear the trip of the water all night. We would have overlooked all of this except we could get no response from management. There was an emergency number to call because we were a bit nervous about the leaking ceiling and they didn’t get back with us until the next day and then didn’t do anything about it. This is a property in a perfect setting that could be really nice but the owner needs to pay some attention to detail. We think the problem is that the management company doesn’t care at all.

Beautiful Menaggio
Great stop and a beautiful apartment. The process of getting from the train to the unit was not clearly laid out. I recoomend getting ferry boat to Menaggio. You can book the slow ferry on line. It's takes about 2 1/2 hours to get there from Como. But it is a beautiful trip. You can buy tickets for the fast Ferry(45minutes) but you can only buy them at the Ferry office at the dock on the day of use.. Long line and may not be avilable. The bus is an option but good luck on trying to understand that process. I loved the apartment and the area and it was worth all the confusion getting there.
Thanks

We had a beautiful week on the lake staying here. We had car service to and from airport and otherwise there was no need for a car.
Menaggio is a perfect location to access other towns around the lake by ferry. We made several day trips including StMoritz which the office staff helped organize. They were extremely friendly and helpful during our stay. Menaggio is truly fantastico!

Tolle Wohnung in bester Lage
Wir mussten wegen technischer Probleme mit Strom und Gas bereits 4 Tage früher abreisen als geplant. Dennoch haben wir entschieden 5* Sterne zu vergeben. Warum? Die Lage der Wohnung ist absolut zentral. Vom Balkon aus konnten wir dem Pianisten auf dem Marktplatz lauschen. Wie ein Privatkonzert. Trotz 30 Grad war die Wohnung immer angenehm temperiert und das ohne Klimaanlage. Es war sehr sauber und es fehlte in der Ausstattung an nichts. Als die technischen Probleme auftraten war die Agentur immer erreichbar, freundlich und kümmerte sich umgehend um eine Lösung. Leider war das Problem nicht so schnell zu beheben. So etwas kann aber immer und überall passieren. Die Rückzahlung war schon auf unserem Konto bevor wir wieder daheim waren. Besser geht es nicht! Wir werden nächstes Jahr wieder kommen.
