Situated on Lake Maggiore's lakefront, Residence Casa e Vela is surrounded by natural beauty and boasts lake-view rooms and apartments, free Wi-Fi, and a terrace overlooking the lake. Cannero Riviera is 3 km away.
You can enjoy the various activities that lake and mountains have to offer. Such as sailing, windsurfing, swimming, diving, and canoeing, or trekking, hiking and skiing opportunities.
Alternatively, you can take the opportunity to relax on the residence’s private beach, fully equipped with sun beds and umbrellas.
A sweet and savoury breakfast including cold cuts, cheeses, and jams is available daily. In summer it can be enjoyed on the lakefront terrace.
You can hire canoes, pedalos and motor boats, with which you can reach the Borromee Islands, with their marvellous gardens and picturesque fisherman houses.
The Swiss border is a 15-minute drive from the hotel, while Verbania is 10 km away. In only 30 minutes you can reach the heart of the Alps: the majestic summit of the Veglia Natural Park, the Natural Reserve of Alpe Devero and the impressive Monte Rosa with its East face, the highest in Europe.
Lake Maggiore is famous throughout the world for the immense parks of the villas of the XVI and XVII centuries. For instance, Villa Taranto, in Verbania: the largest botanic garden in Europe, with thousands of rare plants coming from all over the world, of which a few being unique for the continent. Or the Borromeo building on the Bella Island: splendid example of an Italian-type garden, with ten terraces gradually descending to the lake. And then the zoological park of Villa Pallavicino, in Stresa (secular trees) or the Alpinia Garden of Gignese (alpine flora).
The Oggebbio hinterland offers numerous itineraries for trekking, walking, and mountain-bike riding. These paths permit the discovery of another fascinating aspect of Lake Maggiore. You can find specific guides either at the Residence reception or at the local tourist office.
The National Park of Val Grande (20 minutes from Casa and Vela) is one of the largest and wildest areas in Europe. A mixture of forests and valleys, unaltered since Medieval times; a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the nature of 1000 years ago. In addition to this, from the Residence you can easily reach many other natural parks: the Special Natural Reserve of Fondotoce; the Special Reserves of Sacri Monti of Ghiffa, Orta and Domodossola. From May–September, hiring of motor boats by the residence's private beach is available (deckchairs and sun umbrellas are free).
A service for bikers is available.
