Medieval tower in a quaint old village

In the historic center of Breglia, a stone medieval village, the tower is in the oldest part, quiet and accessible only on foot. Perfect starting point for the discovery of lake Como and lake Lugano, we are just at few km from the most famous tourist locations. The village offers beautiful views, forests and trails of all levels of difficulty for trekking lovers. Some paths slide gently into the woods and reach ancient villages, others climb towards the peaks of the mountains, with breathtaking views.
The tower has millenary walls, its facade shows ancient stone windows, next door in the sixteenth century there was a convent of Dominican monks. Walking through the medieval streets of Breglia you will discover panoramic views and picturesque corners.
PARKING: the historic center of Breglia is PEDESTRIANLY ONLY, a large public parking lot is at 200 meters. Private parking reserved for our guests is at 200 meters from the tower (close to the restaurant “Breglia”): fenced, uncovered and unattended.
Bar pizzeria restaurant at 200 meters.
Useful to know:
- The tower has no lake view
- This place is not suitable for those with walking problems (country with stairs)
- Cot and high chair for children are available on request and free of charge :-)

Just homey
The hosts were incredibly helpful with the sights and hotspots of the location. They let me know about the deep history of the location and they offered to pick me up from the bus station since I arrived after the final bus. They were amazing and made my stay so easy and stress free :)

Medieval treasure for peace and fresh air.
This was a magical place, and exactly the little hide-away we needed! A bar, pizza, good dinner was all there was to be had, besides the most fantastic surroundings for hiking, resting...yet close to Menaggio, the lake, great restaurants, fun shops and...fresh bread! The apt was small, cozy, included everything you could need. But above all it was Lucia who 'made our day' with her hearty welcome, the history, the delightful preparations and certainly excellent choice of wine. Highly recommended!! Be prepared for a 'breathless' hike up and view...but you're 700 years back in time..with all the 'comforts of home'.

Surpassed expectations!
Lucia was a wonderful host! She picked me up in Menaggio as there were no taxis. As soon as we got to the house she shared maps, guides and tips of things to do in the region. Her advice made the stay so much more enjoyable. The tower was fun to stay in. Lots of character, clean and comfortable. Breglia was a nice small village. The hikes, views and boat rides were amazing. I highly recommend a visit.

Ruhe und Erholung in traumhafter Umgebung
Der Empfang durch Lucia war sehr herzlich, sie führte uns zur Wohnung und half uns auch mit dem Gepäck. In der vollausgestatteten Wohnung war alles für uns vorbereitet auch der Ofen und Kamin. Lucia ist eine ausgezeichnete Fremdenführerin und versorgte uns mit vielen Ausflugstips. Die Wohnung liegt sehr schön und ruhig zwischen kleinen Gassen im mittelalterlichen Teil von Breglia. Im benachbarten Hotel Breglia ist es möglich zu frühstücken und abends die gute italienische Küche zu genießen. Wir können das Restaurant zu 100 Prozent empfehlen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werden sicher wiederkommen. Wir reisten mit Hund, der sehr willkommen war - es war sogar ein Trinknapf für unsere Fellnase vorbereitet. Vielen Dank Lucia für deine Gastfreundschaft.

All good and relaxing except the fact that mobiles do not work inside the house. So you should go out and walk outside the walls when you need to call.

Schönes Zimmer in einem alten und sehr ruhig gelegenen Gebäude in der Altstadt von Breglia. Lucia ist eine sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Wunderbarer Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen oberhalb des Comer Sees (u.a. zum Rifugio di Menaggio).

Tolle Wohnung, host Lucia top-bringt nur als Beispiel Schubkarre für den Transport der Koffer usw. zur Wohnung, gibt infos ohne Ende, perfekter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen, Seerundfahrten, oder wie auch immer, also nur zu empfehlen, falls die Wohnung im Stock darüber nicht besetzt ist hört man sich atmen, sonst nichts - unglaublich.
