About this apartment rental
Soak up breathtaking Lake Como views and a strategic holiday setting, just a 4-minute walk from central Menaggio and the car/passenger ferry!
As befits its Italian name ‘Mozzafiato’, which loosely translates to ‘breathtaking’, this gorgeous 3-bedroom holiday retreat for 6 is located in a quiet private residence and is recommended for families or mature groups. It makes the most of its elevated location on the Menaggio hills, which offer superior lake views from its sunny and spacious private terrace.
Inside, the modern 1st-floor retreat features a functional and well-equipped space, perfect for relaxation and entertaining. In the main large living area, guests can kick back and relax within the generous open plan lake view incorporating a roomy Living room, Dining area, and reading area in front of a pellet fireplace and a recently renovated kitchen.
Guests can enjoy unwinding on the sumptuous sofa, which is accompanied by a 65” flat screen smart TV (internet-enabled for Netflix, etc.) and a Blu-Ray DVD player. The apartment also includes free in-house WiFi. A dedicated reading/study area also features next to the living room and includes a pellet fireplace.
Within the open-plan Living room, the accompanying dining area enjoys lake views and provides a wonderful setting for serving up year-round family feasts. French and sliding doors enable groups to spill out onto the breathtaking panoramic lake view terrace, which features a charming alfresco dining set and is easily the ‘wow-factor’ of this apartment. The spectacular vista stretches out across the Central Lake and encompasses Menaggio centre and the picturesque resort town of Varenna, which is nestled along the unspoilt eastern shore.
Those looking to savour an easy-going self-catering stay will appreciate the high-quality open-plan kitchen equipped with a microwave, oven, cooker hob, electric kettle, coffee machine, toaster, wine fridges and a fridge freezer.
Outside, the spacious sunny panoramic lake view terrace is furnished with open-air seating perfect for an afternoon beverage or lounging. The apartment also includes a secure undercover reserved car parking space.

A Mini golf centre and children’s park can also be found in the town and transport links are very good with a frequent modern lake bus service, a car and passenger ferry service to the famous sights, a seasonal airport shuttle service and a taxi service.
The surrounding Menaggio area boasts a wide variety of activities, from the tennis club and nature reserve in Loveno, the famous Menaggio & Cadenabbia Golf Club, the horse riding centre and lake nature reserve of Lago di Piano and the hiking trails in the surrounding mountainside. The nearby lakefront boasts further opportunities for swimming, canoeing, windsurfing, power boat rental and sailing!
Guests are perfectly placed to reach the famous central lake attractions, which include Villa Carlotta, Villa Balbianello and the picturesque golden triangle towns of Varenna and Bellagio.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
The location its self was excellent. The view was spectacular and the rooms and accommodations were comfortable. My only complaint and warning is getting to and from the location itself as is difficult to get to if you are traveling with luggage, children, elderly or injured. I had thought 8 mins from the ferry terminal was not bad but I did not realize it was basically a hike up the mountain with luggage and the whole family. There are portions of this walk that do not have proper lighting or sidewalk as well with flights of stairs and the apt is located on a narrow two way street where you have to cross at this very sharp turn so it is a bit nerve racking. My suggestion would be have the key in a key box on the property instead of requiring guest to check in person at the office back in town... We had to walk back down in the pouring rain to get the keys.So make sure you read the instructions!

The view from the terrasse is beautiful. Every morning watching the sunrise over Lac de Côme. Walking distance to the ferry et downtown
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
The spacious outdoor deck/patio with the enchanting view was a highlight of our stay. It’s a beautiful setting to relax in and spend time with family or friends. The lake, restaurants and shops are in walking distance. Walking the hill back up is a good way to work off pasta and gelato! The hill would be daunting, however, if you have mobility issues. The big pillars in the garage make the parking space a challenge. Nevertheless, we were able to park a mid-sized SUV in it with A LOT of effort. The most notable missing feature is a lack of a door on one of the bedrooms. The kitchen is well stocked, but some dish towels and a small bottle of dish soap would be appreciated. We didn’t have any trouble using the washer, dryer or dishwasher but did lose power for a couple of hours. Be careful about running multiple appliances at the same time.In summary, we would go back for the view.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2024
We had high expectations for this place based on the photos and the listing, but were disappointed. First, this place is not quiet. It is very hot there, and since there is no a/c, you have to keep the windows open. It’s near the city, so there is constant noise from trash pick-up, vehicles, parties, etc. There were also lots of flies in the house and cigarette smoke from one of the neighbors that routinely filled the house. The house smelled like urine from time to time. We think it came from either the neighbors cat from the apartment above or from one the plants outside. Our bedroom had NO door. That's right, NO door. It appeared to be kicked in and we found it laying out back. There was a small room divider that was being used as a door, which was UNSATISFACTORY! We tried to contact the host per the instructions, but they NEVER responded. The place has more furniture than the pictures, most of which is unnecessary and it cluttered the place. We could not use the TV because it had the wrong plug. We could not get the washer/dryer to work (yes we followed the instructions). I'm not sure what is going on with this place, but it needs some help. The view from the patio was great, and we enjoyed that. There is a designated parking spot in the garage, but you better have a compact car (which we did) because that is all that will fit. Overall, there are better places to stay in Menaggio that also have great views.
