Welcome to Gerra on beautiful Lake Maggiore—the perfect place for a relaxing yet exciting family vacation.

Here, young and old alike can enjoy the tranquility of nature, plenty of space to play, and the lake’s close proximity. The lake is just a 2-minute walk away—perfect for a spontaneous swim, skipping stones along the shore, or a leisurely picnic.

A special bonus for families: a well-maintained beach with a restaurant and changing facilities is just a short walk away. While the children splash around, parents can enjoy the sun or treat themselves to a meal at the restaurant—vacations don’t get much more relaxing than this.

The charming towns of Ascona and Locarno are within easy reach and offer family-friendly beach resorts, playgrounds, gelaterias, and beautiful lakeside promenades. A special experience is the large weekly market in Luino, Italy (every Wednesday), which you can easily reach in about 30 minutes by car or train—a colorful destination for the whole family.

Day trips to Como or Milan are also easily possible. During the summer months, you can also explore the lake by boat directly from Gerra—a highlight for children and adults alike.

From all rooms as well as from the terrace, you can enjoy a stunning view of the lake, Ascona, and the surrounding mountains—perfect for a shared breakfast with a view or a relaxing evening after an eventful day.

The house, which has two apartments, is centrally located:

Train station: 10-minute walk

Bus stop: 2 minutes away

Restaurants and a small grocery store are within easy walking distance

Hiking trails start right at the front door and are also perfect for leisurely family hikes. In the fall, gathering chestnuts becomes a little adventure for children.

Here, nature, water, Italian charm, and precious family time come together to create unforgettable vacation memories.

Public parking is available across the street from the vacation rental and in the village. You can pay the parking fees for these spaces via the Parkingpay app.
