The Ivy House in the Castle, a very quiet 400 year old house newly renovated.

The studio is part of a property 400 years old (completely renovated in 2020) Fabio lives in the main house, guests have a charming independent studio with a balcony, a bedroom and a small bathroom + kitchen/dining room. There is a double bed ideal for a couple. it can be split in 2 singles if needed (but with at least a one day notice). Kitchen has a dishwasher. There is Wi-fi, and a washing machine. The garden has a barbecue. In the garden we have cats, they never enter in the apartement, but we can not accept pets. Private parking on site.

The studio 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 by car or public transportation, as many do.
