Overall: We had a wonderful time at the villa. The view of Lake Como was beautiful. The owner was very accommodating. She arranged a chef for 2 nights and helped us order food delivered from a deli. Enjoyed Most: The view of the lake. We especially liked the bathroom with every bedroom. Everyone had privacy when they needed it. We were 15 people and everyone had their own space. Enjoyed Least: The information given on the 10 minute walk to the city should be changed to 20 t0 30 minute walk. Surrounding Area: There isn't much in the surrounding area as it is a neighborhood and marina. We really liked going to the dock and taking the ferries to the various cities around the lake. Really a beautiful lake. We booked several day trips. St Moritz, Como, Lake Lugano. Nearby Events or Locales: 20 to30 minute walk to the grocery and bakery. Menaggio was the nearest town. A car would have been convenient for grocery and bakery shopping. We had taxi service. Tips or Restaurants: The villa is well equipped. Directions: We had limo service from Icare Limo. They were very good. I would recommend them. Check In Out: The owner picked us up at the Hotel Menaggio and drove us and our luggage to the villa. We were the first four to arrive. The others came by limo.S he checked us in and came to say goodbye when we departed.
