Location

Albert Castle Apartment is situated in the picturesque town of Baveno on the western shore of Lake Maggiore, a 10-minute walk from the centre of town and numerous restaurants and grocery stores. The town is known for its pink granite quarries and historic villas, including the 19th-century Villa Fedora (a 15-minute walk). The villa’s gardens are now a public park which extends to the shoreline and a pretty beach, providing a peaceful escape for visitors all year round.

Piazza della Chiesa and the historic Church of Santi Gervasio e Protasio (a 10-minute walk) are a must for lovers of art and culture. Here, guests will find a rich collection of frescoes and paintings, including those adorning the elegant arched walkway that frames the square itself. Guests can also take a boat tour from the ferry port in Stresa (a 7-minute drive away) to explore the three Borromean Islands, Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola dei Pescatori.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy Garden Alpinia in Alpino (a 25-minute drive) and the nearby Mottarone Mountain (a 40-minute drive) with panoramic views across the Lake. Mottarone is the perfect destination for hiking in the warmer months and skiing during winter. Stresa’s Mottarone-Alpino cable car (a 20-minute drive) also offers a fun, scenic 3-leg journey up the Mottarone. Families with children will enjoy Aquadventure Park (7-minute drive).

The Eurocity service in nearby Stresa connects guests to Milan, Berne and Geneva, and the nearest international airport is Milan Malpensa (MXP), approximately a 45-minute drive from here.
