Golfo Gabella Lake Resort

The Lombardy / Varese/Lake Maggiore region

Lake Maggiore is situated amongst the snow capped mountains of the alps. The second largest of the italian lakes, it has been a favourite destination for holidays since Roman times..

The climate on Lake Maggiore is mild, guaranteeing extended holidays.The landscapes in this region are stunning and the area has many history-packed locations including: the Borromeo Islands with their splendid Italian style gardens, Angera Castle that dates back to the XIIth century, the hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, built in the twelfth century, the splendid villas run by FAI (the Italian Environmental Foundation - Fondo Ambientale Italiano) and the gardens of Villa Taranto in Verbania, to mention just a few.

Make sure you hop across the lake to the lovely lakeside village of Cannobio with its bustling Sunday market and visit the town of Stresa with its promenade of grand19th century hotels, fine restaurants and wine bars.
For a great day out take the Lago Maggiore Express and travel by train through the Swiss Alps to Stresa and return by boat.

For designer shopping, Milan is and hour away by road, or take the ferry to the Swiss town of Locarno. A designer outlet 'Foxtown' can be found in Mendrisio and 'Alessi' have an outlet shop in Omegna. Luino boasts the biggest weekly Market in Europe (Wednesdays) and is great for local shopping.

Genova and the mediterranean coast are 2 hours away.

The Maccagno area

Maccagno is a charming village on the Lombard side of Lake Maggiore. Only 90km from Milan, 50km from Malpensa airport and just a few minutes drive from Switzerland and lovely Lugano. Lower Maccagno has retained its Medieval aspect, with houses nestling close to each other. It has an ancient signalling tower - the Torre Imperiale. Tourists are enticed to it's beautiful beach where they sunbath on rocks jutting into the lake.
There is a wide range of places to eat out, from family friendly pizzerias to fine italian restaurants.

Maccagno is served by the lake ferry which will take you to all the beautiful towns on the edge of the lake and to the gardens on the Borromeo Islands.

Golfo Gabella Lake Resort is a prestigious award winning development built on the edge of lake Maggiore.
A holiday at Golfo Gabella means relaxation - from sipping cocktails around the pool to cruising on the lake.
Fine dining can be had at the resorts own restaurant 'Acquadulza'.

But for the more active, there are a variety of sports facilities close to Golfo Gabella including sailing at the yacht club, windsurfing and rock climbing (a complex equipped to the best international standards suitable for beginners to climbing schools)

Then there's tennis, beach volleyball, or excursions on mountain bikes along paths through dense, unspoiled woods famed for their delicious mushrooms. There's also a local football pitch, skateboard ramps and a children's park.

Golf lovers will find 6 prestigious courses within a range of 40 km. In winter, skiers can enjoy the small ski-lift at Alpe Forcora only 15 minutes away, or travel to the well-known Swiss ski resorts of San Bernardino, Airolo and Andermatt in just over an hour.

The best thing about Golfo Gabella is that it is equally lovely all year round, from spring through fall.
