Things to do
The 18-hole golf course in Menaggio (Open from March to November) has an absolutely splendid view over the lake. It is worth going there just for afternoon tea.
From the apartment it's a 5 mins. drive down the mountain to the lake side village of Dongo. There are plenty of water sports activities around the lake with schools offering courses for sailing, windsurfing, kite-surfing and water-skiing. The best wind spots are usually around Dongo, Domaso and Colico. You can also hire sailing and motorboats, windsurfs and canoes. For something quieter you can also hire pedalos and rowing boats
Travel
Lake Como is serviced by three airports, all of them are between 1 to 2 hours drive from Garzeno. They are; Milan-Linate; Milan-Malpensa and Milan-Bergamo (Orio al Serio). The following airlines fly here; Alitalia; BMI; British Airways; Aer Lingus; Easy Jet; Ryan Air; Jet2 and FlyBe.
To make the most of your holiday we strongly recommend that you hire a car as getting around the lake without one is very difficult.

Thanks ever so much, we had a fantastic time. We really enjoyed staying in the apartment, it was big enough & cool enough even when the weather got warm, really well kitted out. The drive up from Dongo is er, interesting, but we got into the swing of Italian driving pretty quickly. Love the view of the mountains opposite & we enjoyed Garzeno's alleyways and byways. Our pretty basic italian was useful enough, but the villagers were really helpful. The folder of activities is excellent too'

'The apartment was very warm, cosy and well-equipped and we played many games of Cluedo! We liked the village very much - it was very quaint and rustic and we visited the bakery every morning-the locals were very friendly even though our ability to have a conversation in Italian is somewhat limited!'

Verified Homeowner
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
