Why Barrie Webb chose Argegno
The photos and views speak for themselves. The 180 degree panoramic lake views are simply sublime. The home just a short 3 minute walk down to all amenities from restaurants and bars to ferry and swimming pool with free private parking. The property enjoys a warm and pleasant aspect where you can bask in the sunshine. Hence the wonderful reviews received!
What makes this Apartment unique
The home is located in Argegno, a gem of a village. There is a real local feel to the village. Meandering cobbled paths, local market's with superb local produce and seasonal ingredients, a wonderful brand new lido to take in the sun and swimming pool to cool off, a cable car to the mountains to take in more majestic views, authentic wine and cafe bars and superb home made gelateria to name just a few highlights.

Fantastic view of the lake above a charming town ! Wonderful food and people! Close to the ferry .
Great mid lake location easy to get to by car.
Delightful vacation spot!
Our stay in Argegno was excellent. Julie was a great host and Barrie had 2 bottles of perfect wine waiting for us. The views from the balcony were breathtaking and we enjoyed watching the sunset every evening. The 100 steps that were discussed in the reviews were not a problem for us, even though we are seniors. We quite enjoyed huffing to the top and being exhilarated by the spectacular views when we reached their home.. Morning sleep-ins were great because it is a very quiet neighborhood. The town is not inundated with tourists and had a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We left with many lovely memories.
2 weeks in Argegno
Superb location in Argegno with an amazing view from the balcony across and along lake Como. Its a short walk into the centre of Argegno and the apartment looks over the tops of the old houses in the centre, which is a fascinating view across the rooftops and down to the lake.
The apartment is compact but was plenty big enough for the 3 of us. It had everything we needed
Very helpful owners.
A wonderful apartment
Having successfully bid for this lovely apartment on Lake Como we were not sure what to expect. What we experienced was way beyond what we might have imagined. The village of Argegno is a hidden gem and the apartment has such a wonderful view of both the village, of Lake Como and of the mountains that surround the lake. The apartment and the wonderful welcome and support from Barrie and Julie Webb made the experience truly wonderful! There are great local restaurants and no shortage of local things to see. Taking the regular ferries into Como for shopping and exploring was great fun and so easy to do. If you are thinking of visiting this wonderful region then i would not hesitate in recommending that you stay at this property.
Fantastic Apartment!
I stayed in this apartment for 3 weeks in Jan/Feb 2019. The view is absolutely breathtaking! Even in winter the sun was shining into the apartment most days.
The apartment itself was perfect - enough kitchen items for cooking, good hot water & water pressure, fantastic deck that we were able to use on sunny days. The beds were comfortable, plenty of closet space and a large bathroom.
I was concerned Argegno would be too quiet during the winter months, but there were plenty of restaurants/coffee shops open. There are 2 small grocery stores, a weekly market and easy access to get to larger stores in neighboring towns. There were always other people out walking around town, plenty of good food to eat and places to have a beer or wine.
The bus and ferry are both a short walk down the hill and very convenient to get around the area. I had a car for a few day during my stay, which was convenient but was not necessary. The only challenge with public transportation in the area was getting back to Argegno later at night, as the last bus left Como around 8:45pm. Otherwise, it was no problem not having a car.
As others note, there are several steps up to get back to the apartment from the town square if you are walking, but it will keep you in great shape!
Barrie and Julie were both so kind and helpful with everything.
We will definitely stay in this apartment or one of Barrie & Julie's other options the next time we are in Lake Como!

Distances:
A short drive to the quintessential Italian town of Como. Guide books tell you it is famous for Italian silk, however, we prefer its lake front views, pretty piazzas, 600 old churches, gelato shops (nocciala is our favourite!), alfresco dining and shopping for sumptious Italian delicacies! 25 minutes to the Swiss border for designer outlets in Fox town. 45 minutes to Milan. 20 minutes to the lakeside town of Menaggio from where you can take a ferry to Bellagio.
Further Details:
Argegno offers the authentic lakeside experience where you will mix freely with the welcoming locals. This pretty fishing village is famous for it's authenticity as a local lakeside village unaffected and unspoilt by hoards of tourists. Visit the bakery for freshly made bread and cakes, Mario's fruit and veg
for the freshest seasonal ingredients or treat yourself to one of Zoe's delicious home made icecreams. The village is home to all amenities from bank to chemist, post office to cafes and bars not to mention a fine selection of resturants from fine dining to rustic italian fayre. Pensavo meglio ( wine bar ) is well worth a visit. Great wines!!
Out and about the lake, choose from Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo (20 minutes by car). Beautiful gardens in many styles with lake views to die for!
Villa Serbollini in Bellagio with unrivalled panoramic views is a fantstic day out. Bellagio itself is a favourite for holiday makers with it's cobbled streets and unbeatable views. Do not miss Villa Babinello in Lenno. If you wanted to propose to somebody I have yet to see a more romantic spot! Walk to the villa or take the private boat (6 euros) from Lenno lido (20 minutes by car from the apartment). The villa and it's majestic gardens overlook the rich blue waters of the lake. Simply divine. No wonder the new James Bond film was shot at this Villa! (May 2006) You can also relax on the golden sand beach at lido di lenno or take a dip in the lake.
Drive down to Cernobbio (15 minutes south of the apartment)
for an idyllic lakeside walk, a favourite past time of ours for a Sunday stroll. Menaggio, with it's palm lined walkways is another pretty lake village worth exploring. Many boat activities from windsurfing to sailing are available on the lake as well as other water sports.
Mountain bikes are also available for hire if you wish to venture into the vast mountains that surround the lake.
There are plenty of restaurants and places to visit we are happy to recommend.
