User reviews
"This beach is truly remarkable - it feels like you're at the seaside! The view of Lago Maggiore is breathtaking, and the water is crystal clear. There are both small, comfortable rocks to lie on and smooth rocks perfect for sunbathing. Plus, there's a free parking lot and a bar just off the street where you can access the beach via easy stairs."
Lena Jovanic Zorin
"If you're looking for a great place to dive, the east side of Lago Maggiore is the spot. At -40m you'll find Pinetta, -30m Oli and Doli, and -19m Cristo. It's a must-dive location, but make sure you arrive before 9AM to get a parking spot."
