Where Grand Hotel Menaggio is, and why the location matters
Grand Hotel Menaggio is a 4-star, 94-room hotel set directly on the shore of Lake Como at Via IV Novembre 77, on the lake’s western side. The listing places the ferry pier for boats and hydrofoils about 100 m (110 yards) away, as listed on booking platforms on October 20, 2026, which matters on Lake Como, where the boat is often faster than the road.
Piazza Garibaldi, the main square of Menaggio, is about a 5-minute walk, roughly 400 m (440 yards). Menaggio Beach is about 1.1 km (0.7 miles) away and the gardens of Villa Mylius Vigoni about 1.8 km (1.1 miles). From the pier, Bellagio and Varenna are a short crossing; see our Lombardy guide for the wider region.
Getting there
- From Lugano Airport (LUG): about a 39-minute drive, the closest listed airport.
- From Milan Malpensa (MXP): about a 77-minute drive; Milan Linate (LIN) is about 103 minutes.
- By train: Varenna-Esino station is listed at about a 24-minute drive.
- Parking: free on-site self-parking, but spaces are limited.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit if you want to use the ferries every day and come back to a seasonal heated outdoor pool with lake views (listed June to September, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.). There is an elevator, a fitness center and two restaurants, Ristorante Clio and the terrace restaurant La Veranda. Pets stay free, as listed.
Look elsewhere if you need guaranteed parking, since spaces are limited, or you expect breakfast in the rate: the buffet is listed as an extra charge. In late October the pool is already closed. For a smaller adults-oriented villa on the opposite shore, compare Hotel Villa Cipressi in Varenna.
