Location & what to see

Hotel La Capannina is located in Massino Visconti, a small hilltop village in Piedmont overlooking Lake Maggiore, in an area of vineyards and olive groves that characterises the Vergante landscape. Around the property there is a rural atmosphere, far from the traffic of the more touristy lakeside towns, yet just a few minutes by car from the lake shores. In the immediate surroundings there are a few restaurants and pizzerias, such as Il Muretto Pizzeria d’Asporto about 800 metres away and Rist.Pizz. Stella di S at 600 metres, convenient for an informal dinner without leaving the hotel area.

Those arriving by train can rely on the stations of Lesa, about 2.3 km away, and Meina, at 3 km, both connected to the line running along Lake Maggiore. By car, the Borromean Islands can be reached in about 13 km, while Milan Malpensa Airport is about 23 km away, a practical option for those planning a weekend in the lakes area. Stresa and Baveno, with their piers, are also easily reachable within a few minutes by car along the Piedmont shore.

The hilltop location is well suited to walking and horse riding along the trails of the Vergante, while in the warmer months the lake shores offer beaches and facilities such as the Lido Beach Club in Baveno. Among the most interesting cultural destinations are the Rocca di Angera, an imposing medieval fortress about 6 km away, Parco Villa Pallavicino, a wildlife park also at 6 km, the Botanical Gardens of Villa Taranto at 12 km, and the Sacro Monte di Orta, a UNESCO site about 9 km away, ideal for a half-day trip surrounded by greenery.
