Piazza della Chiesa

Reviewed By LastMinuteLarry

Just a few minutes walk from the ferry terminal is this wonderful village church with murals on the walls of the covered walkway. The bell tower is quaint and unassuming, the whole area is just so peaceful in comparison to the noisy traffic on the main road. The tiny streets leading to and from the church are nice to stroll around too. Walk back to the lake front and unwind with a gelato and watch the world go by.

Summer Boats

Reviewed By ChesworthK

This local boat service is a very good way to get to the three Islands on lake maggiore.A great alternative to get there from often packed local transport boats that navigate the lake.The boats are strong and sturdy and you are low down feeling close to the lake.Good service highly recommendable.

Miralago Lounge Bar

Reviewed By njiani - Clarksville, Arkansas

Elegant outdoor dinning along a crystal blue lake on a crisp fall day was just what the doctor ordered. The service was very friendly and eager to help but a little slow. Slow to the point we thought they had forgotten the second service. The food was wonderful! Tender eggplant, with a rich tomato sauce that just couldn't be beat.

Cantiere Nautico

Reviewed By Sue K - Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

I hope this is the right business, but I could be wrong!!! We hired a boat for a day out on Lake Como and had a great time. You need a car to get there, but after that you are quickly on the water, which is a great way to see all the fabulous homes and buildings.

GRANUM Museo del Granito Rosa

The Granum museum is dedicated to pink granite and its historical and economic importance for Baveno. The multi-medial exhibition area is divided into 4 sections: types of granite and of other stone in the province of VCO; mineralogical rarities; the workmanship and processing of granite both today and in yesteryear; the history of quarrying and how granite is used locally and overseas.

Reviewed By LouiseR2020 - Portsmouth, United Kingdom

The museum is located near to my hotel so I popped in for a look. There's no charge for entrance. There's a large screen with information (in English and Italian) of the places all over Italy using the pink granite from this area. The museum is very small and intimate. I would imagine that the museum is more interesting to native Italians or people interested in this subject rather than an ordinary tourist like me!

Aquadventure Park

Reviewed By paolovbossi - Nootdorp, The Netherlands

I would like to start saying that i do not understand the title of the park. This is not an Aqua Park. There is a swimmingpool (quite small to be honest) with three slides (this is the aqua...attraction). If the visit is only for the water, better to go somewhere else. What makes this park great is the combination of the adventure part...there are climbing walls, adventure trails, trampolines. It is possible to spend an entire day moving from one activity to another and this permits to everybody (even with different tastes) to find his own amusement.
The place is not cheap and the slides cost 0.50Euro every ride (10 rides are within the admittance ticket). I liked it and same my son did.
