Castelveccana is located on the Lombardy shore of Lake Maggiore, halfway between Laveno and Luino. Castelveccana offers all essential services and wonderful views over Lake Maggiore, as well as beautiful beaches, including the famous Fornaci beach in the hamlet of Caldè: a beach and site with evocative, wild characteristics, where a cycle path is planned for the future. The hamlet of Caldè has a railway station providing connections between Switzerland and Milan. Nearby is Luino, with all its attractions and services. Luino is rich in history and culture, with a particular affinity for literature. Luino is famous for its magnificent new lakeside promenade, featuring two play areas, a walkway suspended over the lake, and “Le Serenelle” beach, recently certified as having excellent bathing-water quality. Another beach, a short distance from Luino, is located in the hamlet of Colmegna, famous for its crystal-clear waters. The walk through the historic center is delightful, with uphill lanes, Renaissance and Baroque palazzi, arcaded inner courtyards, artisan workshops, and shops. One of the main attractions is the Wednesday market, one of Luino’s foremost events: a genuine weekly fair with more than 350 stalls lining the streets of the town center and the lakeside promenade. Water-sports enthusiasts can turn to the Alto Verbano Sailing Association, as well as the extensive service provided by Lake Maggiore Navigation, which makes it possible to reach the Borromean Islands or nearby Switzerland. Not far from Luino, in Maccagno, lies the small Forcora ski resort.
