Beauty in every sense of the word
Happy Holiday Homes©, Via IV Novembre 39, 22017, Menaggio, Lake Como – www.happyholidayhomes.net - Tel: +39 034431723
The Lake is shaped rather like an inverted 'Y', with two 'legs' starting at Como in the South-West and Lecco in the South-East, which join together half way up and the lake continues up to Colico in the North. The first few kilometres of the 'legs' at the southern end of the lake are relatively flat, but Lake Como becomes more mountainous as you head northwards into the Alps.
The area around Lake Como, or "Lago di Como" in Italian, is wonderfully picturesque. Its physical distinctiveness, alongside the natural beauty of the lake has long been appreciated, ever since the Roman times in 196BC. The lake has witnessed many dramatic pasts which today impresses visitors from all around the world and leaves forever a lasting impression of romance, vitality and beauty. It is this essence which today draws many holiday makers, film directors and celebrities to a very special place.
Milan, the commercial metropolis is Italy‟s economic hub and home to neo – classical Milanese palaces, striking contemporary architecture and is also the centre to some of the most famous
fashion houses in the world. Milan offers countless tourist attractions such as Leonardo Da
Vinci‟s Last Supper located in the Santa Maria delle Grazie and the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II which offers a cosmopolitan parade of restaurants, shops and bookshops.
Menaggio, although peaceful and relaxing during the daytime there is still lots to do
in and around Menaggio. The town offers an array of restaurants, shops and cafes set
in old piazzas and medieval passageways. You can enjoy walks through the town and its numerous gardens. Along the way you can take a look at some of Menaggio's
lovely little churches: San Stefano (17th century), San Giusto and San Carlo
accompanied by a beautiful bell tower and the ruins of a medieval castle above the town is also worth a visit. The town also offers frequent ferry services across the lake
for the curious and active visitor.
Varenna is the place to get away from it all, but also to be in touch with the rest of the Lake. For
the romantics, the historians or for those who love peace, tranquility and a history that goes back
thousands of years this is the place. Varenna is an ancient fishing village with close to 1000
residents spread along a steep hillside overlooking Lake Como. Today Varenna is a lovely spot to revitalise after a day of sightseeing by enjoying the lake side restaurants and bars or to simply sit
on a bench with an homemade Italian ice cream!
Bellagio sits at the very tip of the Punto Spartivento (the point which divides the wind). When
you arrive by boat, the whole village is laid out for inspection. The lake side produces a wonderful array of beautiful buildings, red-roofed and with pastel-shaded walls, above which rises the
campanile of the 11th century church of San Giacomo. A small maze of steep, sometimes cobbled streets awaits to delight and confuse. Take time to wander at leisure enjoying the many shop
displays and Italian charm.
Tremezzo is one of the most famous tourist resorts of the area and is situated on
the western shore of Lake Como, opposite Bellagio, with a view of the central basin and the Grigne. The impressive villas and big hotels, dating back to the 17th
century, which stand along the edge of the lake, have made Tremezzo an
international tourist destination. Take a day to visit Villa Carlotta and its gardens, a most visually intriguing and delightful experience.
St. Moritz, 100km distance from Varenna and
Menaggio, drive towards the north of the lake, follow
signs for Chiavenna and St.Moritz.
Lugano is only 25km from Menaggio. Please
remember to take your passport.

Bennet is a huge store that sells pretty much everything you need to kit your home out, and
provides a large array of technologies, interior
designs, kitchen ware, gardening tools, and DIY utensils. There is a large supermarket where you
will be able to find international food selections and of course, fine Italian produce.
The drive from Menaggio is so picturesque that
the drive to Bennet is a journey not to be missed!
You will drive through all many famous lakeside towns such as Laglio, Tremezzo, Mezzegra and so
on. Without traffic on the road, the journey by car will take approximately 25 minutes to reach
Bennet.
If you decide to take the bus, then you must go
to the main Piazza in Menaggio and catch the C10 number to Como.
BENNET STORE
Parking: Always park your car in parking spaces to avoid fines. You
can park without any limits and without payment on the white line bays,
the blue lines mean that they are fee based and you should obtain a ticket from the parking meter. In case there is a sign of „disco orario‟ that
means that you do not pay but you need to put a note with the time you arrived and there is a time-limit. In Varenna you need to buy in the
Tabacchi shop a parking ticket, on which you will need to scratch the
year, date and time you arrived, the same is valid in most parts of Milano.
SUPERMARKETS: The best and largest supermarket around the Menaggio area is the Standa which
is on the road toward Lungano just outside Porlezza (Piano). To get there from Menaggio take the road for Lungano, after 6km the Standa supermarket is on the left hand side.
There is the Pelicano supermarket too, situated along the main road in Menaggio. There is also the Demeglio supermarket in Lenno along Via Regina Statale. This is situated along the main road towards
Como.
Getting around Lake Como The ferry service at Lake Como is the best way to travel
around the lake. The ferries not only cater for passengers but
some are able to accommodate your car.
Ferries are public transport for residents and visitors. They can be the most convenient and definitely the most enjoyable way to get
to the many small lakeside towns, particular the mid lake area.
Taking the ferry ride is therefore more likely to be a regular event than a one-off excursion.
An up to date ferry timetables can be download from
http://www.navigazionelaghi.it/eng/com/nlc.html
Fares start at 3.50 Euro
Bus Service Travelling via bus around Lake Como is simple! There is one bus service – the C10 – that runs from Como up the west side of the lake and then round the northern end, terminating at
Colico on the north-east side of the lake.
Between Como and Argegno, a second bus service, the C20, takes a higher, panoramic, route than the C10, with more spectacular views. After Argengo, it turns inland to Lanzio and the Val D‟Intelvi, while the
C10 continues along the lakeside.
At Menaggio the C10 bus connects with the C12 for Lugano, and then carries on up and round the northern end of
the lake.
The C30 runs from Como to Bellagio (through the area between the east and west branches) and the C40 from
Como to Lecco.
Buses take approximately 1 hour Menaggio - Como For further details +39 0344 32118
We recommend the day ticket called “BIGLIETTO GIORNALIERO PER IL CENTRO LAGO”, a day ticket, which is valid all day long and allows you to visit Bellagio, Tremezzo, Cadenabbia, Lenno, and Varenna, and stay in each town without any time limit, using boats as well as ferries. With this ticket you can also have a free entrance to the gardens of one of the Villas located in the central lake area.
