The small town of Cannobio is one of the first places you get to when you cross the Swiss-Italian border. Our hotel was situated off the town centre, but still only about a 10-minute-walk from the lake.
Surrounded by a huge and beautifully maintained park (without being over-manicured, if you know what I mean), we had a large room as well as our own little patio, facing east. This meant morning sun and a glimpse of the lake first thing after waking up.
Here are some pictures:
Our patio and the view from it:
Our room was the second one from the entrance, on the ground floor:
This way to breakfast:
This is not even the full length of the garden:
The pool - it was too chilly to go for a swim, and only on the day before our departure did we actually see anyone there:
Now that you know the setting, I can introduce you to Cannobio, the lake and the mountains... in my next posts.
Beyond beautiful! And even though you were not able to use the pool, I think spring, with all these flowers, is a wonderful time to be by the shores of Lago Maggiore.
ReplyDeleteIt is, Kristi. You should see the woods - a lot of it consists of birch trees, and the spring green of their leaves combined with the sunlight dappling the paths is wonderful.
DeleteLooks like a nice place to stay, and with lovely views!
ReplyDeleteThose views were the best - but the hotel being so nice didn't hurt, either :-)
DeleteHow beautiful it all is...the room, and the views, and everything so far. Keep those photos coming!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I will!
DeleteThat looks idyllic to me with a beautiful room with lots of space (and outside the mozzie belt as well).
ReplyDeleteWe didn't have any mozzies, that's true!
