About Italia Lido Varese

Where else can you swim in a pool that floats on a lake? At Italia Lido, a family-run three-star campsite of 3 hectares on the south-western shore of Lake Maggiore, in Castelletto sopra Ticino, Piedmont. Here the water takes the leading role, and every member of the family gets a part. Think sun, sand and splashing. What is there to do once the car is unpacked? Plenty. Begin with the floating pool and the inflatable Ohana water park, then wander over to the private sandy beach, where the gently sloping shore suits little swimmers. Hire a paddleboard, challenge the family to beach volleyball or petanque, and in high season let mascot Gerry Duck and the kids' club keep the youngest entertained. Where will you sleep and eat? Pick from 200 shady grass pitches with electric hook-up, or settle into a mobile home, glamping tent, chalet or houseboat. Terraced grounds under leafy trees mean most pitches enjoy water views. Mornings start with an Italian breakfast, and the waterside restaurant, pizzeria and bar take care of lunch, dinner and sunset cocktails. And beyond the gate? The Borromean Islands, Isola Bella and Isola Madre, are close by, Arona is 5 km away and Lugano 41 km. Dogs are welcome as well, so nobody has to stay behind. Ready to trade the everyday for a lakeside holiday in Piedmont? Vistacamp is happy to help you choose the perfect pitch or accommodation.

Surroundings

Italia Lido sits in the green heart of the Ticino Valley Natural Park, on the south-western shore of Lake Maggiore. Nature starts at your pitch: the Parco dei Lagoni di Mercurago lies about 4 km away and the Parco della Rocca Borromea about 7 km. For a change of pace, the centre of Castelletto sopra Ticino is about 3 km away and the lakeside town of Arona about 5 km. Terraced grounds with leafy trees give most pitches water views, and mountain panoramas complete the picture.

“Join the pool queue early: access to the floating pool is booked on the day at the campsite, especially in peak weeks. Pack a swimming cap for everyone, because the floating pool requires one and you will want to dive straight in. Do the little ones love bouncing? The inflatable Ohana water park comes with a campsite life jacket, so you only bring the courage. Late afternoon is paddleboard time: hire one at the campsite and glide along the shore while the day cools down. Look for Gerry Duck in high season; the mascot leads kids' activities at the club, on the beach and at tournaments. Hire a bike at the campsite and explore the Ticino Valley Natural Park, which surrounds the grounds. Save one day for the Borromean Islands: Isola Bella and Isola Madre are close by and make a classic Lake Maggiore outing. ”

WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER STAYED - ZERO RATING
