Menaggio is located on the western shore of Lake Como, at the mouth of the Val Menaggina, where there is a fork in the Via Regina for Porlezza and the Swiss Lake Lugano. The views are outstanding, looking southwards across at Bellagio, down the Lecco branch made famous by Alessandro Manzoni’s verses in the ‘Promessi Sposi’.

The Retain Alps are clearly visible in the background and reflect their natural colours in the lake. The natural beauty has inspired artists and poets and has always attracted tourists who want to enjoy the wonders nature has created here.
