B&B La Lanterna is located in Verbania, on the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore, in a quiet residential area just a few steps from the Pallanza lakefront. The neighbourhood is mainly residential, with period villas and private gardens, and offers a good balance between city life and the countryside quiet that rises towards the first hills of the Val Grande National Park, just 2.3 km away.
Verbania-Pallanza railway station is about 2.5 km away, convenient for those arriving by train from Milan or Domodossola, while Milan Malpensa Airport is about 36 km away, reachable in under an hour by car. Nearby there are several dining options, such as Vecchia Osteria Buscaglia at 650 metres and Agriturismo Rossolampone at 550 metres. The Borromean Islands, among the most photographed destinations on the lake, are about 10 km away, easily reachable by boat from the local piers.
In summer, the lake is well suited to lakefront walks, boat trips to Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori, and visits to the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens, one of the most important botanical parks in Europe, about 5 km from the property. In winter and during the shoulder seasons, the Val Grande National Park offers some of the most rugged trekking trails in the Italian Alps, while nearby Baveno and the slopes of Mottarone provide views over the lake from above, ideal for a day trip.
