Cannero Riviera

Overview

Overlooking Lake Maggiore, with its colourful houses and small boats pulled ashore, appears Cannero Riviera, a delightful village embraced by green mountains. Perhaps the best time to discover the village is in spring, when the landscape is coloured by the blossoming of camellias, azaleas and mimosas, but any season is actually perfect for going there and letting oneself be lulled by its beauty. Particularly splendid are the picturesque ruins of the ancient fortress which, located on two rocky islets and accessible only by boat, can be seen from the shore rising out of the lake, creating an effect of alienating wonder. In the centre of the village, the Piazzetta degli Affreschi is unusual, where episodes from local history are recounted through colourful murals.
