Villa Lakecomo - Ritrovo, Menaggio, Italy

Relish some lake view luxury!

Boasting far reaching lake views to write home about, this modern 4 bed villa provides the perfect hillside getaway on the central lake.

With its close proximity to the championship golf and the highlights of Menaggio and the central lake, the scene is set for memorable year-round holidays!

The luxury 3 storey villa is perfectly suited for accommodating groups of 8, and is conveniently pet-friendly too; for the ultimate home-away-from-home experience.

To the ground floor, guests can easily soak up a spot of holiday indulgence to the living area, which oozes a carefree ambience in which to unwind and entertain with guests. Surrounding the ambient warmth of the open fireplace, the stylish leather sofa suite enables guests to cosy up in the winter months and enjoy a favourite film, to the SAT TV and DVD player provided.

Next to the sitting area, a fabulous dining area for 8 is adorned by a striking light feature and spectacular lake views; for that instant ‘wow factor’. An iPod docking station is also on hand to make sure your dinner party hits the right note.

Leading through from the dining area, the fully-equipped contemporary kitchen diner is suitably stylish; with chic slate grey cabinets complimented by integrated appliances that include a cooker hob, oven, frdige, freezer, dishwasher alongside a kettle, coffee machine and toaster.

The villa was simply made for entertaining; with the basement home to a striking wine cellar. Here guests can savour the perfect wine tasting evening; alongside the ambience of a roaring fire and candlelight.

Outside, the private sunny garden offers a lovely setting for hosting evening drinks at sunset and for savouring unforgettable lake view moments in the summertime, with an ‘alfresco’ BBQ or two.

All equally stylish and inviting, the villa’s 4 luxury bedrooms are set for savouring a guilt-free holiday slumber.

The ground floor double bedroom provides a wonderful guest room, whilst the first floor comprises two double bedrooms ideal for couples (each with their own lake view terrace) and a fourth bedroom furnished with a twin set of single beds.

A contemporary bathroom fitted with a power shower features to the ground floor, whilst upstairs a chic family bathroom with bath tub and overhead shower perfectly complements the principal sleeping accommodation. Modern laundry facilities also feature within the villa, for added convenience.

Outside, the tranquil lake view garden paints a scene of heavenly holiday bliss; with a sunny terrace and large lawn to enjoy.

A private garage easily enables guests to keep a car here, whilst the nearby amenities of Menaggio are just a 6 minute drive away. The beautiful central lake town offers a wealth of supermarkets, delicatessens and grocery shops to complement a self-catering stay; whilst the array of authentic Italian restaurants and charming lake view cafes here provide the perfect excuse for soaking up a relaxed day in the sun.

The picturesque lakefront promenade leads to the family-friendly ‘Lido di Menaggio’; which is home to a paddling pool, a full-size pool, a beach lined with sun loungers, a volleyball court, a park, pizzeria, cocktail bar and more. Mini golf and another children’s park provide added amusement for younger guests, whilst the power boat rental, lake swimming opportunities and kayak rental here all provide the ideal way to get out on the water.

A host of boutique shops will keep shopping fans busy in the morning, whilst the nearby resort town of Bellagio (just a ferry stop away) and the fashionable Swiss lake capital of Lugano (reachable by bus or car) offers the perfect excuse to shop till you drop!

Alongside the golf, tennis and hiking opportunities available up on the Menaggio hills, the north of the town boasts water sports, whilst the neighbouring Tremezzina shore offers easy access to the Villa Carlotta and Villa Balbianello attractions, the breath taking hiking routes, fine dining opportunities, wine bars and the luxury hotel spas.

Menaggio provides the perfect base from which to explore the other famous resort towns of Varenna and Bellagio on the eastern shore, and is also within easy reach from the popular ski resorts of Piani di Bobbio and Madesimo.

Disappointed
This was a once-nice villa, but in my experience, it is now a property with little maintenance and attention, other than some superficial improvements to make it rentable. The furniture (especially the kitchen and bedrooms) was cheap and flimsy, including our bed which was broken but concealed from us. It fell apart in the middle of the night. How do I know it was broken? When i looked under the bed, I found the broken center support was propped up with a stack of about 10 books!!! Simply amazing. In addition, there were multiple electric outlets broken, several missing light bulbs, and non-working kitchen items. The kitchen was not well stocked and the area was not very clean. I have pictures to support my rating. On the outside, the landscaping was overgrown, the chairs were moldy, and the views were blocked by over grown trees...not what was marketed. The response I received from the rental company (who I thought was VRBO) was slow and unclear. Our issues were never resolved. I have been greatly disappointed in VRBO in Italy on this trip. We rented 6 different properties in Northern Italy over the course of a month. Of the 6, 2 were very good, 1 was unbelievably bad, 2 worked out OK despite being different than what VRBO represented, and this property in Menaggio served our needs albeit with the issues noted above. Absent improvements, I would not stay here again. Re VRBO, I have significant doubts about their slogan that "Weve got your back". We will see.

Long weekend
The property was good and we enjoyed our stay. The address provided was incorrect, it is number 29 rather than 9 so that caused some confusion when we arrived. It is also uphill from the town so would recommend a car or a taxi. There were no Ubers available in Menaggio. The view from the property is beautiful and the house worked well for us.

Large house with beautiful view of the lake
This is a large older house, but with relatively recent upgrades. Overall clean and pleasant. The views are beautiful and the best part, but it’s quite a significant 15-20 min uphill hike to get back to the house from town. We were happy we had a car for when we needed to go shopping and return with a lot of stuff. But we were content to walk down and up the hill for breakfast and dinners. Those that didn’t wanna walk up found it easy to get an Uber. The management company was easy to work with and prompt with getting extra supplies (we needed a few more towels which showed up the same day requested). Overall Mennagio is a beautiful town with great restaurants/shopping, and a perfect vacation destination. Getting to/from Bellagio or Varenna is easy via the ferry. We loved the small wine shop La Bottega De Vino and the owner’s advice/knowledge. The cafe’s on the square are great for breakfast or afternoon cocktails and great views. And Il Pazzo (traditional italian) and Braceria Diverso (higher end steakhouse with a tasting menu option and great wines) were great restaurants.

Vue magnifique
Loin du lac à pied, il vaut mieux être motorisé. Splendide vue, voisins très proches . Villa très confortable et spacieuse. Trop peu de verres à pied, des tas de petites choses qui disfonctionnent et ménage mal fait à l'arrivée. Il manquait aussi des draps. Réactivité de l'agence indéniable.

Wunderbare Lage.
Das Haus liegt sehr schön, allerdings ist die Küche sehr sparsam ausgestattet, z.B.wenig Gläser. Wasserkrug, Teekanne etc. wären. Das trübt ein wenig den Gesamteindruck.
