Location & what to see

Marenca Residence is located on Via Casali Cuserina, in a quiet residential area on the western shore of Lake Maggiore, just outside the historic centre of Cannobio, a Piedmontese village known for its arcaded lakefront and its still-authentic atmosphere compared to other more touristy spots on the lake.

The centre of Cannobio, with its restaurants and shops, is just a few minutes’ walk from the property: Forno Zaccheo di Dario Zaccheo is only 500 metres away and the restaurant L’Oasi del Borgo is 650 metres away, while Bar Pit Stop Cannobio can be reached in about 800 metres. Maccagno railway station, on the Swiss side of the lake, is about 4 km away, while Locarno and its Piazza Grande can be reached in about 15 km. Ascona, with its famous Golfclub Patriziale, is 18 km away, and the Borromean Islands about 37 km. For those arriving by air, Milan Malpensa Airport remains the closest reference point, about 90 km by road.

In summer the lake takes centre stage, with beaches, boat rentals and the banks of the Cannobina Valley to explore by bike or on foot; Parco Giona, less than 4 km away, offers trails surrounded by greenery along the Cannobino stream, while the Torre Imperiale, 4.7 km away, recalls the area’s past as a border zone. In winter the area becomes quieter, ideal for lakeside walks and visits to nearby villages, with Locarno and Ascona remaining a convenient destination for a day trip even outside the season.

L'Oasi del Borgo — Charming restaurant in the heart of the lakeside village of Cannobio 650 m
