Luggage in Menaggio: Hotels, Villas and How to Reach Them Without Stress

Menaggio and the Luggage Challenge: Distances That Surprise Travelers

Menaggio is one of Lake Como’s most charming destinations, with its lively promenade, historic center, and open views of the lake. Unlike Bellagio, here the problem isn’t narrow alleys—it’s the distances.

The town is spread across different levels, from the lakefront up to neighborhoods on the hillside. This makes it beautiful, but it also means that many accommodations are far from public transportation stops and involve long uphill walks.

Hotels Close to Public Transportation

If you’re staying near the lakefront, reaching your hotel on foot is usually easy. These hotels are close to ferry docks and bus stops:

• Hotel Bellavista

• Hotel Menaggio

• Hotel Victoria

• Garni Corona

• Hotel Du Lac

Choosing one of these means you’ll only need a short walk from the ferry or bus station to check in.

Hotels Far From Public Transportation

On the other hand, many hotels are located in upper areas of Menaggio, where the distance from the lakefront can mean 30–40 minutes of walking uphill with luggage. These include:

• Hotel Sonenga

• Hotel Adler

• Hotel Royal

• Hotel Loveno

Reaching these hotels on foot after a long journey can be exhausting, especially with heavy bags.

Villas in Menaggio: Even Further Away

Most villas are not in the town center but in residential neighborhoods such as Loveno, Sonenga, or Castello. While stunning and quiet, these areas are often steep, with winding streets that can take up to an hour to walk from the main transport stops. Carrying luggage there is nearly impossible without help.

How to Reach Them Without Stress

So, what are the options?

• Taxi: a straightforward solution, but availability can be limited during peak tourist season, and fares can add up.

• BagMeHome: a flexible local service that collects your luggage from anywhere in Menaggio, stores it safely, and delivers it directly inside your hotel, villa, or flat—even in uphill neighborhoods like Loveno, Sonenga or Castello.

By using BagMeHome, you can avoid the uphill struggle and start your holiday the right way: enjoying Menaggio’s promenade, sipping an aperitivo in the square, and leaving the stress of your bags behind
