We are Jan Willem Brals and Anne Lasschuit from Amsterdam. We love to travel, but always enjoy the tranquility of Lake Como the most. The wonderful days on the water, the fantastic walks in the mountains, the delicious meals on terraces and the dreamy tranquility of the lake in the evening sun. These are pleasures that we wish everyone. We do our very best to let our guests experience the same pleasure.

The environment and its possibilities:

• In the area you can go hiking, cycling (there are extensive mountain bike routes in the mountains), swimming, water sports, golf, visit museums, delicious food, etc, etc.
• There is a pebble beach next to the complex, where a mountain stream flows into the lake. Here you can swim in the clear water (water shoes are recommended).
• In the park next to the beach you can end the day with a nice BBQ or picnic at one of the picnic tables.
• Boats can be rented in Menaggio.
• In Menaggio there is a Lido with beach, sun loungers, (children's) swimming pool and restaurant.
• You can play golf at the "Menaggio e Cadenabbia" golf club with the second oldest course in Italy.
• On the mountain slopes are small villages where time has stood still. The ferry takes you from Menaggio to the many lakeside villages. For example, you can visit markets that are held in different places, or have lunch on the boulevard of another town.
• There are some well-known mountain hiking routes in the mountains. Extensive information about all short, long, light and heavy routes is available free of charge at the tourist office in Menaggio.
• Mountain bike trails can be found all over the mountains. The tourist office also has route maps for this.
