Il Porticciolo Hotel

We are on the Varese shores of Lake Maggiore, in the town of Laveno-Mombello. The Hotel il Porticciolo is located in an absolutely privileged position, perched on the rock between the hill and the lake, and from every corner of the property you can enjoy the charm of a landscape that ranges from Verbania, with the Borromean Islands, to Monte Rosa, from the center of Laveno Mombello to Monte Sasso del Ferro, from whose summit the entire lake dominates. The spaces of Il Porticciolo are distributed over 4 floors: at the highest point, the most panoramic, there is the indoor swimming pool and the SPA, recently renovated (2021); on the second and third floors there are 11 rooms and junior suites, all with a private balcony overlooking the lake; the lower level is intended for the two restaurants - La Tavola, 1 Michelin Star and l'Osteria -, the breakfast room and the cantilevered outdoor terrace, with a pier for mooring boats. The 11 deluxe rooms and junior suites – from 25 to 55 m2 – are among the most spacious in the area. The philosophy has always been to recreate a homely, warm and welcoming atmosphere, without ever diverting attention from the lake which moves slowly and placidly beyond the large windows. The large arched windows perfectly frame the colors of a landscape that changes from the blue of the water, to the green of the mountains, up to the peaks of Monte Rosa. Crossing the threshold of the private terraces, present in each room, the sounds and scents of these places complete our idea of hospitality. Wi-fi and satellite television are available in all rooms.

Walking tour with a private tour guide in the botanical gardens of Villa Taranto

The gardens of Villa Taranto in Verbania, between Intra and Pallanza, are known the world over for their great beauty and the huge number of plant species they contain. The result of a labour of love on the part of the Scottish Captain McEacharn in 1931, the myriad of colours and scents the marvellously landscaped garden offers continues to enchant visitors from March to October. From spring to autumn there are always flowers in bloom, with “special events” for certain species which are particularly spectacular in their season: the tulip week is in April, dahlias are at their best between July and October. We will discover together this beautiful garden and we will focus on particular botanical species. From Stresa, the gardens are reachable by boat: the shipping company “Navigazione Lago Maggiore” has a landing stage called “Villa Taranto” right in front of the Gardens entrance.
