Soak up breathtaking Lake Como views and a strategic holiday setting, just a 4-minute walk from central Menaggio and the car/passenger ferry!

As befits its Italian name ‘Mozzafiato’, which loosely translates to ‘breathtaking’, this gorgeous 3-bedroom holiday retreat is located in a quiet private residence and is recommended for families or mature groups. It makes the most of its elevated location on the Menaggio hills which offer superior lake views from its sunny and spacious private terrace.

Inside, the modern 1st-floor retreat features a functional, well-equipped and recently renovated layout; perfect for relaxation and entertaining. In the main large living area, guests can kick back and relax within the generous open plan lake view incorporating a roomy Living room, Dining area, and Reading area in front of a new pellet fireplace and a brand new Kitchen.

Guests can enjoy unwinding on the sumptuous sofa, which is accompanied by a 65” flat screen smart TV (internet abled for Netflix etc.) and a Blue-Ray DVD player. The apartment also includes two CD stereo and iPod speakers and free in-house WiFi. A dedicated reading/Study area also features next to the Living room and includes a recently added pellet fireplace.

Within the open-plan Living room, the accompanying dining area enjoys lake views and provides a wonderful setting for serving up year-round family feasts. French and sliding doors enable groups to spill out onto the breathtaking panoramic lake view terrace, which features a charming alfresco dining set and is easily the ‘wow-factor’ of this apartment. The spectacular vista stretches out across the Central Lake and encompasses Menaggio centre and the picturesque resort town of Varenna, which is nestled along the unspoilt eastern shore.
