Como Attractions
There are many things to see and do around Menaggio. Many are very, but all are only a ferry ride away or a walk. Below you will find a lost of things to see and do. As most people wish to have an itinerary or will need to take information due to seasonal opening and closing times, we have provided downloads for several of the attractions with dates and times of opening.
Villa Del Balbianello is situated at Lenno at the far end of the peninsula Lavedo. See discovercomo.com for more details. A short ferry ride away.
Villa Monastero is situated on the lake side at Varenna on the way to Fiumelatte. This is directly across the lake from Menaggio. The villa, as the name indicates, was a Cistercian convent dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene. It was founded in 1208 by a group of faithful followers who had escaped from Comacina Island, after the Island was destroyed during the war between Milan and Como. See discovercomo.com for more details
Villa Carlotta is situated in the town Tremezzo, a short drive or ferry ride away. The villa and the gardens date from the fist half of the 18th century and were built for the Marchese Clerici as a summer home away from Milan. The 18th century gardens were laid out in the former classical italian style. The neoclassical villa stands above three terraces linked to the lake along the central axis by a series of double stairways with imposing balustrades. See discovercomo.com for more details.
Villa Serbelloni is situated on the wooded promontory of Bellagio which divides the lake in 2 branches. This is across and slightly to the right of Menaggio and a 5 minute Ferry ride. The villa is surrounded by approximately 50 acres of perk and garden; the main house has a breathtaking view of the lake and the mountains. The villa was built in 1605 for the owners of the promontory, the Sfondratis, and in 1788 it was bought by the Serbellonis, a Milanese family who developed the property and the garden much as it is today. See discovercomo.com for more details

Finally Menaggio Lido. This is located at the far end of the town heading North about 1/2 mile. In daytime, you can enjoy the beach on the lake (small fee) and pool. On Friday and Saturday nights, the facilities turn into a nightclub club with outside terraces. Menaggio tends to be a quiet place so this is where the "young" set go. Its far enough out of town for anybody to notice and as always, everybody is well behaved.
