Overall: It was fabulous and Villa Menaggio exceeded our expectations Enjoyed Most: The space , the view, the cleanliness. Enjoyed Least: No English speaking TV except BBC news. Even the DVD player didn't work with our DVDs. Wifi was good, though. Surrounding Area: The beauty and the transportation system, ferries, buses. Shops, restaurants. Everything. We fell in love with Menaggio. Nearby Events or Locales: Menaggio. It was within walking distance but not for someone who is not fit and used to walking about a mile each way (a scenic one!) Directions: No. We did not rent a car. Check In Out: It was perfect in every way.
