Villa Panoramica, Menaggio, Italy

Incredible views. Finding the unit was somewhat challenging but once there, this led to a quiet and very private setting. Getting the keys was easy and the gated parking and private garage made us feel very safe. We really enjoyed the outdoor furniture and spent a lot of time on the patio. Other highlights were the kitchen and eating area and the washing machine which worked great. The unit is very large with lots of space over three floors. The elevator was very helpful given a lot of steps in the unit. We did have a problem with an ant infestation. The property managers responding by providing us a can of bug spray. We were disappointed by the sparseness of bedroom furniture which included only a bed, and the general absence wall decor which made the unit feel cold, sterile and un-welcoming. The few paintings in the main living area were colorful, but the subject matter which included a painting of a handgun and two pictures of nude, dancing women, seemed inappropriate and in poor taste. Overall, the accommodations were acceptable, but at that price, we were expecting a higher quality experience. The view is incredible.

We had a lovely stay, but I think the description of the property needs to be updated. The shared pool is a difficult walk up about 8 flights of stairs, and the entry to the villa is up a very steep road (what more can you expect from a villa with those views? just mention it in the description). We did however love the stay and will go back to Menaggio at some point. Paul, Clare, Lucy, George and Judy.

The magnificent view cannot be taken away from this property and a well equiped kitchen. However the cleaning standard of the house left some to wish for, and made a bad first impression

We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Panoramica. The villa is beautiful and has stunning views. The villa is delightfully perched above Menaggio. (It is a steep 20 minute walk down to town, but a longer return). And the location worked extremely well as a base for our family to explore the Lake Como region. The kids enjoyed the shared pool (located up and behind the villa), and all of us enjoyed the tremendous views. The doors and windows open capably and kept the place comfortable in the summer heat. We would happily rent the place again.

Our stay was a great pleasure.

The most important issue is that for our whole stay, WE DID NOT HAVE HOT WATER.! We rented out the Villa for 16 days and this problem was resolved the day before we left. The technician had to come everyday to turn on the hot water, therefore we got a late start every day. The other issues...The bathrooms had mold and soap scumb, one of the pillows had a blood stain, the kitchen appliances were full of grease grime and the utensils were dirty. The bead spreads had stains. I have pictures of all of this. The sun bed cushions were dirty and stained......

August 2018 The location is so close to Menaggio, with easy access to Bellagio and Tremezzo with a breathtaking view! Everything was perfect, the view from every room in the house was beautiful. Strongly recommend this place. Manon, UK

August 2016 We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Panoramica, the villa was well located and had good facilities. The team at happy holidays were very customer focused, cheerful and helpful particularly when we needed help with transportation around extending our stay in Menaggio. We would certainly use happy holidays when we next visit Lake Como area. Thanks for your help, Lug, UK

August 2016 We had a wonderful time. I particularly liked watching the sunrise and sunset over the mountains. Our daughter loved Jungle Raiders. It would be helpful to say which restaurants are within walking distance. Chez Mario and La Vecchia Magnolia were both excellent, as was the home cooking service. Peter, UK

We enjoyed the villa! Our favorite restaurant was La Baita. We also liked Barcola. Did not have a bad meal out. We liked Ristorante La Madonnina in Domaso as well. Thanks for your service. Once we found the office and new where to park, things turned out well. The boat rental is well worth it.
