We stayed here for 2 nights in early October 2025. It’s not the fanciest hotel but it has a great location. The bed was hard. Pillows were good. Great shower with hot water! Loved that our balcony opened up with a view of the lake. Lovely shops and dining all around. If you want more of a budget friendly stay in a good location close to the ferry then this will work well for you!

Just wow! So many things we loved about this charming hotel… the fantastic location across the road from the lake , a first floor balcony that overlooked the town square and a view of lake, clean room and comfy bed. Easy walk to ferry terminal and all the dining options. One of the highlights of this hotel was the infinity roof top pool - we spent every afternoon taking in the view from this wonderful spot. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return next time in Italy. Thank you 🙏

Great location and a sweet small hotel. The hotel reception is in the cafe so there isn't much space or room for luggage. Our room was spotless and had an incredible lake view and the pool views were spectacular. The hairdryer needed replacing - outdated for 2025!

Hotel location was amazing. We picked Managgio because it is less busy. We took the ferry to varenna and Bellagio. We spent about 2 1/2 in Bellagio and were ready to go back. Stay was nice beautiful views. One con our remote control batteries were dead and no one could help us. We like to enjoy our evening tv to relax

Perfect for us

You can’t beat this location if you like to be close to everything. You can walk downstairs and order a couple of cappuccinos and fresh pastry and bring them to your room. We had a balcony where we could look over the plaza and people watch. Our view was fantastic! Walking distance to everywhere. This area isn’t a place for night life.

An older property in a great location. Has "Old World Charm". Situated on the main Piazza in Menaggio with plenty going on all the time. Beautiful view of the Lake. Close to all the ferries. Restaurant and bar on the property definitely a plus. We included the breakfast. Only criticism is that it was the same every day. Some variety would have been nice.

We loved our stay at Hotel Du Lac! We really enjoyed being in Mennagio and the location right on the main square was wonderful. We had easy access to restaurants and the main waterfront area. Our room was clean and our balcony looked right out on the square and the the lake. We were even treated to a local concert on our last night which we could listen to from our balcony. The air conditioning was a welcome relief from the hot summer days/nights and the hotel was located very close to the ferry dock so it was easy to get to other places on the lake that you would want to visit. I would definitely reccommend staying here! We can't wait to return!

Quiet Stay

This was a nice little town away from the hustle and bustle of Bellagio and Varenna, but also an easy ferry ride to either. Our room was in the annex building which was a little difficult to find as it was getting dark. Had a nice little balcony overlooking the town. Room was simple, but clean and had everything we needed for a one night stay. Breakfast is not included, but they do have a cafe where you can eat. Only had coffee so can't speak for how the food was.

Avoid, worst customer service I've had in my life. 35 days before checkin my wife and I endup in the hospital with a life threatening condition that requires surgery, I call to the hotel offering to pay them extra so that they postpone our reservation for a month or two. First they wouldn't even respond to my calls and messages, after one week I managed to get through to somebody called Luigi, he told me it's not their problem and even though I was calling them 35 days in advance it was not in their interest to accommodate my ask.

The staff/owner is not very welcoming. We had two reservations and one explicitly for a family room with two adults and child. He insisted on billing for an additional guest - until we showed the reservation made which proved we had booked and paid for three. Leading to the next point- this was a ‚book now, pay later‘ reservation but the hotel pulled the full amount without any communication or approval several weeks later. Lastly, one room had low and slanted ceilings- in bedroom and bathroom which lex. To multiple head collisions with the ceiling. The hotel also attempted to double charge the garage. One last point, the advertisement/promo photos are deceiving. Very disappointed. I am a gold member and this is a first.
