Mercurago - all beaches

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 beach was absolutely fantastic! The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, and the bar and toilets were spotless. The lake was stunning and provided a safe and enjoyable swimming experience for both adults and children. I am already looking forward to returning to this wonderful destination!

This beach was incredible! We had the best swimming experience in Northern Italy. The sand was soft and the area was spotless, and the water was warmer than other lakes in the north. Prices were reasonable; you could either pay an entry fee of €6 per person or rent a sun bed with an umbrella for €20 per couple. I had read that Lake Orta was a hidden gem in Northern Italy, but I only truly appreciated it after spending the day at this lido!

The toilets are clean and the lake is beautiful, but that's where the positives end. The tent spaces are extremely small, forcing you to choose between setting up a table and two chairs or parking your car. The ground is dusty and too hard to secure the tent properly. We had no shade from 8am to 6pm, causing the inside of our tent to reach 42°C with no other place to rest. The camping staff was rude and unhelpful, even though there were other shaded spots available. The campsite was crowded and noisy at night, with people talking loudly at the restaurant until 11:30pm. They charged an extra 3€ for each gluten-free pizza, making it too expensive for our two celiac daughters. Additionally, we were charged 10€ for booking in advance, but were not allowed to choose our tent spot. We will NEVER return.

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.

This place was an excellent discovery... offering a pleasant atmosphere for lunch, dinner, aperitivo, or any time of the day. The lake is beautiful, and the absence of motorized boats only enhances the ambiance (and water quality). Parking is convenient, and it's safe for children. We will certainly be coming back.
