Hey from Eleanor

My name is Eleanor. Originally a maths teacher from Glasgow but since 1988 I have been living with my Italian husband Adriano on the shores of Lake Como. Several years after we moved into this beautifully located house above Menaggio the opportunity of opening a Bed and Breakfast arose and with Adriano’s support, Balcone Fiorito was born. Together along with my son David we aim to make your stay memorable and0 David's extensive knowledge of the area will truly enhance your holiday.

Our family home is just above Menaggio, and is in a tranquil situation with magnificent views over Lake Como and the surrounding mountains, and within easy reach of Lugano, Milan Bergamo and St Moritz. Boats, ferries and buses from Menaggio allow you to visit all the villas, gardens, churches and quaint villages around the lake. Boats and kayaks can be hired in Menaggio. In our village of Croce there is the golf course of Cadenabbia, a padel court and a pumptrack. For those looking for other outdoor activities there are numerous walks and hikes for all abilities, cycle tracks, access to various water sports and a great diversity of rock climbing to be found around the lake.

We loved our stay at this BnB and are so sad we couldn't stay longer than 1 night! Eleanor and her family were very welcoming and we couldn't have asked for a better stay. The bed was comfortable, the shower was great and the view is ridiculously beautiful - we were lucky enough to have good weather so we had the generous breakfast out on the balcony which was a lovely way to say goodbye to the property. If we returned we would 100% come back!

It's the small details that make your stay memorable: coffee and tea offered when you arrive weary, a hostess and her son who welcome you like family and take the time to engage with you, guidance to places you would have missed, like nearby trenches dug in WWI and a fabulous hilltop restaurant you never would have found on your own. Yes, Balcone Fiorito also provides comfortable rooms, easy parking, breakfast with fresh baked treats on a lovely garden terrace that frames a spectacular lake view. All of these amenities at a reasonable price should make this B&B your first choice for a stay in Menaggio. I simply cannot say enough for Eleanor and David's hospitality. They welcomed three generations of my family, ranging in age from 5 to 80, and made us feel at home. Other guests were clearly relaxed and enjoying themselves, making the atmosphere all the more pleasant. I hope to return someday.

My family and I stayed in a two bedroom accommodation with just the most amazing view of the local village of Croce and beautiful Lake Como. Our hostess Eleanor and her son were wonderful - very personable, friendly and always on hand. We were spoilt at breakfast with Eleanor`s homemade pancakes, cakes and breads. Eleanor`s son was also on hand to provide good local insight. It was a pleasure to stay and I would recommend to anyone - couples and families alike.

Excellent accueil d’Eleanor et David; Chambre spacieuse, très confortable et très propre; jardin très fleuri comme l'indique le nom du site. Une très belle vue sur le lac et la ville de Menaggio en contrebas.
On prend le petit déjeuner dehors sur la terrasse face au lac si le temps le permet.
Situé à Croce à 3km environ du centre ville, pas de problème de stationnement.
A recommander absolument.

Notre séjour à la chambre d'hotes "balcone fiorito" a été très agréable. Tout fut parfait du début à la fin. Accueil parfait, chambre agréable et spacieuse. Les petits déjeuners sont excellents et changent tous les jours. La vue de la terrasse est exceptionnelle. Nos hôtes, Eléanor et sa famille ont été d'une grande gentillesse. On avait le sentiment de faire un peu partie de la famille.
Bref, n'hésitez pas à découvrir ce petit coin de paradis.

Soggiornato una notte, struttura bella in posizione molto tranquilla e con una vista panoramica sul lago davvero incantevole. Camere curate e molto pulite. La signora Eleanor è gentilissima e disponibilissima e la colazione che serve sul terrazzo/giardino vista lago è davvero fantastica e per tutti i gusti. Struttura consigliatissima.
