This beach on Lake Monate is truly beautiful, and the staff are friendly and kind. I highly recommend trying their aperitif, as they serve a variety of delicious appetizers at the best prices among the equipped beaches on the lake. It's absolutely fantastic!
The pizza was outstanding, and the dessert was even more delightful. There's a lovely view of the lake and excellent quality water for swimming. We visit with Eurosub for diving and then enjoy socializing afterward.
The lake has a lot of stones, so it's a good idea to wear water shoes if you plan on swimming. In June, from around 4 to 8 p.m., there tends to be strong winds and heavy rain in the afternoon. Make sure you're back home before then.
While visiting Lake Maggiore, we happened upon this charming spot. It’s a true gem, featuring a private beach and small boats available for rent. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The drinks are both affordable and delightful, and we were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary tapas served at 6pm. The DJ enhanced the experience with a mix of dance and 80's music. It's difficult not to enjoy this place, even if you're just stopping by for a quick drink. I highly recommend it. Plus, it's dog-friendly!
We arrived at 11:30 and found a free public parking spot close to the beach, where we parked our car. The water was clean, aside from a few peels and leaves on the surface, which is normal for a lake. You could even see the bottom. The water was refreshingly chilly. Sea shoes are recommended because there are stones at the entrance to the water. This beach is great for families; our 5-year-old daughter played in the water by herself and could touch the bottom up to 25 meters out, which was reassuring. There is a lifeguard on duty. Additionally, there is a restaurant next to the beach with a toilet available for use. After 14:00, the beach became crowded, and the water started to feel sticky, likely due to the increased activity from boats and jet skis, which also caused a strong gasoline smell. Consequently, we decided to leave after a while. Overall, as a lake, it was okay. We might visit again.
