We had a great time at this apartment.This was our third trip to Lake Como in the last 10 years, but the first time that we have rented an apartment with a pool, which was lovely & remarkably quiet.It seems that the pool is shared between quite a few apartments, but it seems a lot of them are owned by Italians who only use them a few times a year.....we had the pool to ourselves most days.
The apartment is very nice & homely & the views are stunning from the balcony & kitchen.....a lovely way to start the day, just spending a few minutes gazing across the lake.
San Siro is a 10 minute drive from Menaggio, so very convenient for getting to Bellagio, Varenna & the towns to the south on the popular western side of the lake, such as Tremezzo, Lenno, Sala Comacina & Argegno.
San Siro is less touristy than Menaggio, but a bustling and interesting place in itself & the Pizza we enjoyed at 'Creme Caramel' was the best that we have had on the lake & as good as any other throughout Italy.....& we have eaten a lot over the last 37 years!!
The fantastic views from the elevated position of the apartment mean that you really do need a car here, but the winds & twists on the 2-3 minute drive up the hill are all part of the fun of the holiday.
We'll be back!!
