Relais Casali della Cisterna occupies the large park of Villa Claudia, once belonging to the Marchesi Dal Pozzo, on the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore, in Belgirate. The area is residential and green, dotted with historic villas overlooking the lake, far from traffic yet very close to the shore: the lake itself is right at the property’s edge.
Belgirate town centre is about one kilometre away on foot, while the town’s railway station is 700 metres away. Stresa, with its pier for the Borromean Islands, is about a 10-minute drive. Milan Malpensa Airport is 25 km away, around a 30-minute drive, while Linate is farther, at 68 km. In the immediate surroundings there are a few restaurants such as La Bruma and Anelli Coffee Wine & Food, both within 1.4 km.
Guests staying here can spend their days by the lake in every season: in summer, Parco Villa Pallavicino in Stresa (3.5 km) with its animals and botanical gardens is convenient, as is the Lido Beach Club in Baveno (8 km) for a day by the water. Nature lovers can visit the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens in Verbania (8 km) or the Bruschera Oasis, a protected natural area 9 km away. For local history, Rocca di Angera, a medieval castle on the opposite shore of the lake, is 8 km away and can also be reached by boat. In winter, the lake offers quieter views, ideal for walks along the shore and visits to nearby villages.
