Reviews
The place was beautiful with the most amazing view! Definitely worth getting a car to make it easy to get around as a long walk away! Loved all the recommendation we were given for the area, including restaurants and boat hire!

Spectacular view. Beautiful location. Lovely home. Everything you need in the home. Such a beautiful area with so much to do.

We stayed at the house as a family of 4 with 2 children aged 9 and 11. The property was great with plenty of space to spread out but also with good living space and 2 balconies to have meals and play games as a family. It’s also very well equipped. The view of the lake is absolutely breathtaking, you can never get bored of it and we spent many evenings after the children were in bed just sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine taking in our surroundings.
The property is up a hill but there is about a 15mins walked down a ‘heritage’ footpath off the road to a village below (Nobiallo) where there is a really friendly bar for drinks and snacks and also great boat hire. From there you can walk into Menaggio in about 20mins. Or, it’s about a 20-30min walk with footpaths and shortcut passages all the way to Menaggio. No problem at all as a family and we did it most days without a problem – great for a meal in the evenings without having to worry about parking or driving.

We had a wonderful week at Apartment Bella Vista Belvedere. It is a bit of a trek into Menaggio on foot, but if you are reasonably fit, it’s worth the compromise – the views from the terrace over the lake are fantastic. It was also very peaceful, although we were lucky that there were few other people in the building – I can imagine it getting nosier in high season. The pool is also lovely, on the hill overlooking the apartments – I swam every morning.
The two restaurants local to the property (within 10 mins walk), Trattoria La Vecchia Magnolia and Ristorante Pizzeria CO.RI. are both excellent with helpful, friendly staff. We ate 2 nights at each, so you don’t have to go in to town in the evening if you don’t want to. The one evening we did eat out in Menaggio we were able to get a cab back up the hill reasonably easily.
The apartment is spacious and well equipped. We had everything we needed with none of the frustrations that can happen in rental properties.
Highly recommended!

Barrie & Julie were excellent hosts. They gave us many ideas and recommendations for the Lake Como area. The apartment was spacious & clean. The views from the 2 balconies are breathtaking…a perfect spot to enjoy your lunch or coffee and a book.
The only negative is you have to drive to a specific location to take trash & recycling before you leave.
All in all we give this apartment a 4.8
