This is better, this place is magic. A huge long lake surrounded by steep alpine mountains fringed with clusters of old towns. Menaggio is so pretty; beautiful elegant buildings, the gardens are covered in flowers with neat green as green grass and old trees line the streets and lakeside boardwalk.
Our hostel sits one street back from the waters edge with fantastic views even from our bedroom window. The deck was the perfect place to meet up with other travelers, swap stories, with wine and nibbles and enjoy the view.

Mennagio - hostel?
I was in Lenno - two villages south of Mennagio - in 2006. Are the hostels open for all ages (older adults)? Wonderful photos...I need to return there - love the way the mountains plunge into the lake. I was there searching for the site of the Star Wars wedding from Episode II and found it at the Villa Balbianello.

You'll have to include Mennagio Hostel when you go next time. Overlooking the lake at hostel rates. Great mix of people of all ages. Searching for Star Wars film locations? Now thats what I call a serious fan! Glad you found our blog we had a ball.
