Location & what to see

Helianthus Residence is located in the heart of Cannero Riviera, a village overlooking Lake Maggiore known for its flower-lined promenade and the Cannero Castles, which rise from the water a short distance from the shore. The Via Dante area is residential and quiet, a two-minute walk from the historic centre and just 200 metres from the shore, in a setting that combines village life with a lakeside outlook.

The bus stop for Verbania is 150 metres from the residence, while the nearest railway stations are Maccagno, about 4.9 km away, and Luino, 5 km away. Milan Malpensa Airport is about 41 km away, a practical option for those arriving from outside the region. A few steps away, within 100 metres, are several restaurants such as La Trattoria di Perrotta Luigi and Bar Sanremo, convenient for meals without needing a car.

The small harbour of Cannero Riviera, two minutes from the property, is the starting point for tourist boats connecting the main towns on Lake Maggiore, including the Borromean Islands. In summer, the town’s Blue Flag beach is the closest option for swimming, while nearby you can visit the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens, about 14 km away, or the Torre Imperiale, a fortified ruin about 4.9 km away. For nature lovers, Parco Giona and Parco Pubblico Boschetto offer trails through the woods surrounding the lake, enjoyable in both spring and autumn.
