The walking path to town just 20 mt. north of the villa on Via Rimembranze makes all the difference. Stroll through the quaint Croce neighborhood then follow the yellow arrows onto the cycling paths, and eventually the cobblestone lanes into Menaggio. Beautiful scenery at every turn, quite roads, bird calls, goats, local runners, and a fair number of bicycles too, of course.
We loved the quaint old-time farm just outside our windows across the street with sheep, more goats, and chickens. Overall, the house is a blissful step into luxury and unbelievable beauty and charm.The road out front can get busy, but the house has lots of quite nooks and airy spaces for entertaining. We ate at La Baita and La Barcarole. Two local restaurants near the house with authentic local food and excellent prices. The breathtaking views from just about every room in the villa are worth highlighting once again. George and his staff were super friendly and attentive. A blissful and unforgettable vacation in one of the most stunning places in the world. Vibrant colors, great energy, and food. And everywhere the shimmering glowing lake and majestic mountains. Highly recommended!!
