VILLA CHIARA Lago Maggiore is located in Gravellona Toce, a town in Piedmont at the southern tip of Lake Maggiore, where the lakeside landscape gives way to the first hills of the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola area. The historic centre, with its bars and restaurants, can be reached on foot in just a few minutes: La Casaccia restaurant is only 150 metres away, while Bar Profumo di Caffè is about 500 metres from the property.
Getting around is easy thanks to Gravellona Toce railway station, about 1.2 km away, useful for reaching Stresa, Verbania and other towns along Lake Maggiore. By car, the Borromean Islands are about 10 km away, while Milan Malpensa Airport can be reached in about 37 km. Those travelling by car can also head towards Locarno, across the border, or towards Lake Orta, both within a 50 km radius.
The area offers different opportunities depending on the season: in summer it is well suited to days spent between the beach and boat trips on Lake Maggiore, with the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens about 10 km away and Parco Villa Pallavicino, with its zoo and green trails, at the same distance. Trekking enthusiasts can instead head towards Val Grande National Park, Italy’s largest wilderness area, just a few kilometres from the property. For a more cultural outing, the Sacro Monte di Orta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is about 14 km away and can be visited in half a day, perhaps combined with a walk on the Isola di San Giulio. In winter months, the proximity to the Ossola valleys also makes the area a good base for reaching the ski slopes of Mottarone or Val Formazza in a day trip.
