Nobiallo Fantastico  

In Menaggio on Lake Como — an apartment a short walk from the town center and within a 15-minute stroll of Spiaggia Lerai and Menaggio Beach. Nearby highlights include Pista La Resega, Parco Ciani and the Cantonal Art Museum; Villa del Balbianello is about 6.7 miles away and Lake Lugano about 9.8 miles.

A warmly decorated, air-conditioned apartment with simple, stylish comforts — think a fireplace, flat-screen TV and a DVD player. Rooms open to a private balcony or patio and a terrace for views; the unit also includes a fully equipped kitchen and on-site laundry and ironing services. Staff speak English, Spanish, Italian and German.

Take in the views from a terrace and fire up the barbecue grills for al fresco meals. Other standouts: laundry facilities, a fireplace, air-conditioning, flat-screen and cable TV, plus multilingual staff to help plan your stay.

Self-cater with a kitchen outfitted with a refrigerator, oven and stovetop, or cook outside on the provided barbecue grills for casual, lakeside-style meals.
