We're in our sixties and it had been 8 years since travelling internationally for a vacation so we both assumed very incorrectly A/C would be included when we read on their website "is just to say they have all the basic facilities you can expect." Our bad, we didn't question further so when we arrived it was very warm and the hotel felt extremely warm, humid, and uncomfortable. It was a big letdown to find out no a/c and we actually looked for another place to stay. Glad it wasn't feasible to switch (not without paying huge premiums to find a place with A/C). We were supplied a fan and by the end of the day it had cooled and the location is absolutely beautiful with great views of the lake. It is an old building and the rooms are spartanly appointed but neat and clean. The room we had was sneaky large on the second floor with a balcony and gorgeous lake view. The bathroom is sizeable but tight shower space with good water pressure. There wasn't much typical storage space, but we had a separate first room adjacent to the main bedroom so all of our luggage was easily stored on the single cot in this first room. A hot breakfast was included since we booked directly with the hotel but even without the hot breakfast the continental fare provided was ample with a variety of nice selections. The hotel has a bar and serves dinner (great food!). All of the help is friendly, helpful, and efficient. The biggest highlight of our stay was booking their pasta cooking class run by Paulo, the hotel manager. He was fantastic and we could not have been happier with the information, tutoring, and excellent food provided that evening. Be prepared for elevation changes as central Menaggio is a 10-15 minute walk downhill (so you will be going uphill to get back to the hotel). It was no problem for us, we enjoyed the location and the ferry system on the lake is very efficient so it was easy to visit both Varenna and Bellagio the same day. It's a charming hotel in a wonderful location. If we get back to Menaggio there is no reason to stay anywhere else!
