Skylab is located in a residential area of Gozzano, a small town at the southern edge of Lake Orta, in the province of Novara. The neighbourhood is quiet, with private homes and small shops, and allows guests to walk to the historic centre, where bars, grocery stores and the town’s main services are concentrated.

For those arriving by plane, Milan Malpensa Airport is about 37 km away, while Milan Linate is just over 70 km away. By car, the Borromean Islands can be reached in about 28 km, and the Monastero di Torba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is about 50 km away.
Lake Orta, with the famous village of Orta San Giulio and the Island of San Giulio, is the natural destination for lakeside walks and boat trips, especially in the spring and summer months. The Sacro Monte di Orta, a UNESCO site with its twenty frescoed chapels, is about 5 km away and offers scenic routes through woods and sacred architecture. Those who love the mountains can head towards Passo Cremosina, about 5 km away, a starting point for excursions on the hills surrounding the lake. The Parco dei Lagoni di Mercurago, a protected natural area about 10 km away, is also a suitable destination for walks and bike rides away from the summer crowds of the lake. In winter, the area is ideal for quieter walks and village visits, while in summer water activities on the lake and local festivals in the towns on the eastern shore are added attractions.
