Our family has been spending summer vacations in Lombardy, Italy, for the past 8 years, and very quickly the dream of our own little resort in this region arose.
It is very beautiful here, and so completely different from our (also beautiful) homeland, Denmark.
We enjoy the mountains, the lakes and the temperature, the language, the food and the atmosphere.After several years in the same area, we feel ‘a bit at home’ and we like to ‘know’ the neighbors and greet each other.
In our everyday life, it can sometimes be a bit busy, which is why we enjoy going on holiday to the same place again and again. And again.
We don’t have to spend time looking for a good restaurant or a bar with extra good coffee, because we already know exactly where to go.
After a few days of total relaxation, we are ready to explore new places, and there are many places to visit, both in Lombardy and in the neighboring regions.

Since 2019 we have been in contact with Immobiliare Menaggio, and in autumn 2023 we became seriously aware of a vacant property in our preferred area.
The location was important, the price as well, and then it was our wish that a future holiday home was not already renovated, because we like it a bit old-fashioned.
In February 2024, we went down and looked at the apartment, and it was a great reassurance for us that the estate agents had arranged it with the seller so that we had the apartment on hand until we had seen it.

Prior to our viewing trip, the estate agent had sent photos and a description of the condition of the apartment, as it had been empty for a number of years. We were therefore prepared that it was an apartment that needed a ‘loving hand’ – which it was, we had requested.
Over the years, we have looked at a handful of apartments, and this particular one was more than we had dared to dream about, so already during the showing we told the real estate agents that we would like to buy the home.

The good service we had received leading up to the inspection tour continued after this, and the estate agents took care of all the work surrounding the transaction, as well as helping us to get a ‘Codice fiscale’, which is the Italian tax code.

Because our apartment had been empty for for a number of years, all supplies were closed, and the real estate agents helped us to open up that too, – even after we had taken over the home.

So far, we only speak and understand a lot a little Italian, so it has been an invaluable help, which we have greatly appreciated.

We highly recommend Immobiliare Menaggio.
Sincerely, Henriette and Stig Vendelbo
