The house for rent is 400 years old (completely and comfortably renovated in 2002, roof-top terrace built in 2023) and is situated in the historic Castello above Menaggio, on Lake Como just across Bellagio and Varenna. It is a bridge over a pebble stone road, a short five minute walk down to the center of Menaggio. The house has two floors and a private parking below. On the first floor is the kitchen, dining area and the living room (with an additional sofa bed for 2) with a walkout balcony with lake view and fireplace. The second floor has a large roof-top terrace with view on the mountains, a master bedroom, a second bedroom (with a single bed that turns into a double) and a bathroom with bath/shower, wc and bidet. Traffic is restricted so the house is very quiet with a great Lake View. It is suspended above the road, and it has a balcony and a large terrace. Under the bridge you can access the terraced garden, where an area is reserved to guests as a sundeck or to work or read, or where you can cook, BBQ and dine. The garden is occasionally shared wth other guests, but the roof top terrace and balcony are in exclusive use. House is ideal for who travels by public transportation. Menaggio is very well served by buses and boats and a main train line is just across the Lake, in Varenna, 15 minutes away by ferry.

The house for rent is located in Menaggio, on the western shore of Lake Como about mid lake, just 15 min. by ferry from Bellagio and Varenna. Menaggio is one of the most important towns on Lake Como and has been a tourist attraction for hundreds of years. From Menaggio central location, one can easily navigate the whole lake by public boats. Bellagio and Varenna are only a short boat ride away. Lugano, in Switzerland is only 15 miles away, well served by public transportation.

The owner is a US born of Italian Origin resident, with a thorough knowledge of the Lake and its surroundings. He is glad to spend all the time needed with guests to help them planning their hikes, boat trips, shopping trips or simple sightseeing. He also assists with full info on travel to reach Menaggio and picks up guests with no car at the bus or the ferry.

Only one dog of small size is allowed, no cats or other kind of pets. The dog, however, can only stay in the house or use the balcony and the large terrace, not the garden.

    Very comfortable,well equipped and clean.Description was accurate, with parking space. Fabio the host was very helpful and pleasant and spoke excellent english. Nice views and although over a road, it was quiet, with only the odd car that probably lived in that road. Overall excellent.

    The Little House on the Bridge was ideally placed for getting about Menaggio - close to the lake side, beach, shops restaurants and ferry. The house is quirky with everything we needed. We didn’t do any cooking as we ate out , just breakfasts and light lunches. Bed was comfortable and air con very welcome. Menaggio is well placed for taking the ferry to Varenne and Bellagio or the bus along the west coast to Como. We didn’t use the car at all once we arrived as there was no need.

    The apartment is very nice and cozy and we felt very comfortable. Fabio, the landlord, was extraordinarily helpful and very nice and was able to give lots of good tips on various activities in the region. His support was flawless and the communication was extremely clear and most uncomplicated, which we really appreciated. Furnishings and equipment were not exactly luxurious, but we had everything we needed. The small balcony with a view on the lake and the village (classic, tiny balcony for a maximum of two slim people ;), but perfect for breakfast coffee) and the larger terrace are a real asset. Next time we're at Lago di Como, we'll definitely try to rent this cosy, beautifully situated cottage again. Again so many thanks to Fabio!!!

    We loved our stay in menaggio. Our only problem was that our stay was too short. Fabio is a wonderful host. We want to come again someday for a longer stay.

    Nice authentic house with a view over the lake. The lake, the beach, shops and the boats to other villages are at walking distance. The host Fabio gives a lot of information and ideas about trips in the region.
