Plan your stay at Hotel Sole

Family-run hotel on the shores of Lake Maggiore in Cannero Riviera, with a breakfast terrace overlooking the lake, a beach right in front and free parking included.

Room types

The rooms at Hotel Sole share a simple, well-kept layout, with classic furnishings, parquet flooring and a private bathroom with a shower. Air conditioning, a flat-screen satellite TV and free Wi-Fi are present in all room types, which range from the 12 square metres of the Standard Single Room to the 18 square metres of the Superior with balcony.

The main difference between the accommodations concerns the view: some rooms have a private balcony with a direct view of Lake Maggiore, others offer a partial view towards the water, while others are oriented towards the inland side. There is also a single option designed for solo travellers, with a single bed or, alternatively, a large double bed. The Economy Double Room, the most affordable in the range, still keeps the same essential comforts as the other room types, making the choice more a matter of budget and view than of amenities.

Location & what to see

Hotel Sole is located on the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore, in a residential area about 1.5 km from the historic centre of Cannero Riviera, famous for its lakefront dotted with Art Nouveau villas and its striking castles on the water. The public beach is located right in front of the property, making the location particularly convenient for those seeking direct contact with the lake without having to take the car every day.

For those arriving by train, the nearest railway stations are Luino and Porto Valtravaglia, both about 5-6 km away; Milan Malpensa Airport is about 40 km away, just under an hour’s drive. Within a 2 km radius are some of the most popular restaurants in the area, such as Del Soleluna Beach at 1.4 km and Hemingway at 1.5 km, as well as Trattoria di Perrotta Luigi less than 2 km away.

Nature lovers can reach the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens, about 12 km away, among the most renowned in Europe for the variety of plants and blooms. In winter the area becomes quieter, ideal for lakefront walks and visits to the historic villages of the Piedmont shore, with Cannobio and its medieval alleys easily reachable in a few minutes by car.
