We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Grand Hotel Menaggio. Location: Fantastic!!! The hotel sits on the lake overlooking Varenna and Bellagio and the majestic mountains. The Ferry is next door and the town is a five minute walk. I would pick Menaggio or Varenna again over the busy and touristy Bellagio. Grounds: The hotel has a... more

What a lovely hotel.  I am here now using wireless internet in the lobby.  We have room 303 which has a lake view and it is worth it.  The view is heaven.  Breakfast is nice and light.  Dinner is more expensive than we liked given that menu is for the older British guests dominating the hotel (but plenty of Americans,... more

The hotel certainly looks grand but I found the ambience friendly and relaxing. The dining room staff were particularly pleasant - it might have helped that I speak Italian, but other visitors I spoke to were just as happily impressed. The food was very good and the room pleasant. It's only a couple of minutes walk into the centre of... more

The Hotel Menaggio boasts 4 stars but we did not feel that is appropriate. Our bathroom was very dark and small and the shower stall especially dark. The dining room was very loud because there was no carpeting on the floor. The staff at the desk was not very friendly overall. The food in the dining room was just average... more

We just loved this hotel. We booked via a tour operator and really did not expect to have a suite of rooms! It was wonderful. Perfectly located for the ferry and the village. Hotel was immaculate and very quiet. Food was lovely and the service excellent. more

My husband and I loved our stay here. We booked a room with a lake view but could not have it for the first two nights because a guest had been taken ill. To make up for it the hotel gave us some money back and upgraded us to a suite - then they sent us some complimentary Prosecco. The... more

We had prepaid a three nights stay at this extremely disappointing hotel. When we checked in, we asked, as we usually do, if we could have a silent room. We were told that we were given a room with the standard we had paid for. We paid around 450$ a night. We got a room in the attic, with a... more

The hotel looks grand from the outside but is a little tired on the inside in certain places, damp patches in some of the halls, and in our bathroom and stains on the carpets. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food was good but not anything special. My wife and I were staying here for... more
