Introduction
Verbania is often hailed as one of the most charming towns on Lake Maggiore – a postcard-perfect lakeside community backed by the Alps. Nicknamed “the garden on the lake” for its spectacular botanical gardens, Verbania boasts lush parks like the famous Villa Taranto, which spans 16 hectares and nurtures over 20,000 plant species from around the world. Strolling along Verbania’s lakefront promenade, you’ll find elegant historic villas, manicured gardens, and inviting cafes that reflect the town’s laid-back yet refined atmosphere. Cultural gems such as the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens and local museums add to Verbania’s international appeal – drawing visitors from around the globe to enjoy its natural beauty and heritage. Located just 40 km from Switzerland and 90 km from Milan, Verbania effortlessly blends Italian charm with a cosmopolitan vibe, making it a delightful base for exploring Lake Maggiore.
While Verbania itself offers lovely hotels and B&Bs, savvy travelers often choose to stay in the peaceful surrounding hills for better value and tranquility. In this guide, we highlight Hartmann “Feel At Home” – a highly rated family-run villa in the nearby village of Gignese – as the perfect lodging base for couples, families, and budget-conscious travelers visiting Verbania and Lake Maggiore. Though about a 30–35 minute scenic drive from Verbania’s center, Hartmann offers a unique combination of comfort, hospitality, and location that lets you experience the best of the lake region while feeling right at home.
Why Stay with Hartmann Feel At Home
Choosing Hartmann Feel At Home as your base near Verbania comes with a host of benefits that set it apart from standard town hotels. First is exceptional value for money – this villa B&B consistently earns high marks for its comfort and amenities relative to its price. Guests describe it as “a luxury experience with the nicest staff on amazing grounds”, praising the property’s warm hospitality and personal touches. The multilingual hosts (fluent in Italian, English, and more) treat every guest like family, ensuring you feel welcome and well cared for throughout your stay. One visitor wrote that “the hosts were wonderful – very warm and kind, always helpful… everything was just perfect.” Such attentive, friendly service – from help with local plans to quick communication via WhatsApp – makes a real difference, especially for international travelers.
Staying at Hartmann also means enjoying peace and tranquility that can be hard to find in town centers. The B&B is set in a quiet hillside village (Gignese) about 700 m above sea level, in a private park filled with century-old trees. This elevated location ensures cooler summers and fresh mountain air, so after a day by the lakeside you can unwind in perfect calm. The villa’s grounds have panoramic glimpses of green forests, distant peaks, and even a peek of Lake Maggiore from the highest room. Guests love the “beautiful and quiet location above the lake in a small park with big trees” – it truly feels like an oasis of well-being. Couples will relish the romantic seclusion, and families appreciate the safe, spacious garden where kids can play. Free private parking is available on-site, so it’s easy to come and go on day trips to Verbania or other attractions. Despite the tranquil setting, Verbania’s sights are within a half-hour drive, and the popular town of Stresa is just 10 minutes down the hill, keeping you close to the action when desired.
Lastly, Hartmann’s blend of comfort and character is hard to beat. Housed in a stately 1930s villa fully renovated in 2022, the property combines historic charm with modern conveniences. You’ll stay in a place that feels special – with elegant architectural details (there’s even a little turret on the top floor!) – yet enjoy perks like independent air conditioning and free Wi-Fi in every room. The atmosphere is intimate and homelike rather than impersonal, true to the B&B’s name. In the evenings you might curl up by the circular fireplace in the lounge or sip a glass of Piedmont wine on the terrace beneath the trees, soaking in the serene ambiance. For travelers seeking a restful retreat with a personal touch – somewhere to return to each night and feel truly at ease – Hartmann Feel At Home offers the ideal solution.

Accommodation Overview
Hartmann Feel At Home features six uniquely decorated rooms and suites plus a shared apartment, offering accommodations for every type of traveler. Each room is impeccably clean and newly furnished (thanks to the recent renovation), with hardwood floors, quality linens, and private bathrooms for comfort. Couples can choose from several double rooms – for example, the “Manipura Giallo” and “Ajna Turchese” rooms provide bright, cozy spaces with French double beds (140×200 cm) and modern en-suite bathrooms. One romantic top-floor room even sits in the villa’s turret, featuring a panoramic view towards Lake Maggiore from its balcony doors – perfect for a special getaway. All rooms come with free Wi-Fi, smart TV, independent air conditioning, hair dryers, and toiletries, so you have all the essentials for a comfortable stay.
For families and groups, Hartmann offers larger units like the Swadhisthana Arancione family suite – a 50 m² suite with two adjoining rooms (separable by a sliding door) that sleeps up to 4 adults in two single beds plus a sofa bed. This suite even has a walk-in closet and enough space to lay out a yoga mat for some stretching or playtime with the kids. Another option is the Indigo Vishuddha quad suite (31 m²) with two single beds and a sofa bed, ideal for a small family or friends. There’s also a triple room (Anahata Verde, with two singles and a loft-style raised bed) great for three guests sharing. All these larger rooms have their own spacious private bathrooms (many with oversized rain showers, bidets, and modern fixtures) to keep everyone happy – “the room and bathroom were spotless… big plus for the rain shower,” noted one guest. High chairs and cribs can be provided for little ones (a crib is available on request for a small fee), and children of all ages are welcome, making this B&B very family-friendly.
One thing that sets Hartmann apart is that it even caters to solo travelers and backpackers on a budget. The villa has a shared dorm-style room (Muladhara Rosso), a 20 m² space with 2 single beds and a bunk-style sofa bed, which can be booked as a hostel-style shared room. This gives solo travelers an affordable option to stay in the beautiful villa and meet others, while still enjoying access to all the common facilities. In total, Hartmann can host up to 19 guests across its rooms, so it’s also possible for an extended family or a larger group to book multiple rooms or even the entire house for a private stay.
Beyond the rooms themselves, Hartmann provides plenty of amenities and services to make you feel at home. Every morning, a generous continental breakfast is served in the sunny dining room (or on the outdoor terrace in nice weather). Guests rave about the spread: look forward to local breads and pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, and made-to-order Italian coffee. The buffet caters to various diets – you’ll find vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options among the offerings. One guest mentioned breakfast was “plentiful with lots of choice, fresh and locally sourced where possible”, so you can fuel up for a day of sightseeing. For relaxation, the villa’s common areas are a delight: there’s a grand main hall with an inviting circular fireplace, a cozy library corner, and an honesty bar for an evening drink. Wellness-minded travelers will love the dedicated yoga room on-site – outfitted with mats and tranquil decor – perfect for a morning yoga session or a quiet meditation overlooking the garden. Outdoors, the private park surrounding the house offers seating areas under the trees and even a few surprises: you can soak in the outdoor hot tub under the stars, or gather around the stone fireplace/BBQ pit for a cozy family evening. Kids have space to run around, and in summer a small children’s pool is set up so little ones can splash safely. With free Wi-Fi throughout the property and free private parking on-site, all the practical details are covered too. Whether you’re a couple seeking comfort, a family needing space, or a solo adventurer on a budget, Hartmann Feel At Home’s accommodations provide a perfect home base near Verbania.
Where to Eat in Verbania
One of the joys of visiting Verbania is sampling the local Italian cuisine – from rustic lakeside trattorias to elegant cafes. Here are a few recommended eateries in Verbania’s various neighborhoods (Pallanza, Intra, Suna) that cater to different tastes and budgets:
- Osteria degli Specchi (Pallanza) – A charming Italian restaurant in the heart of Pallanza, known for its inviting garden patio and delicious, homemade cuisine. Osteria degli Specchi prides itself on fresh ingredients and hearty dishes; one standout is their truffle carbonara – perfectly cooked pasta with a generous shaving of truffle, cheese, and pepper, reflecting the chef’s passion for regional flavors. The atmosphere is casual yet cozy, great for lunch or dinner, and the friendly staff make you feel welcome. It’s an ideal spot to savor local specialties (like lake fish or risotto) along with Italian classics. This osteria frequently earns rave reviews as a favorite dining spot in Pallanza thanks to its delightful food and setting – a must-visit if you want an authentic lakeside dining experience.
- Hostaria Dam a Traa (Suna) – Located in the picturesque Suna district (just west of Pallanza), Hostaria “Dam a Traa” is a beloved trattoria right on the waterfront – you can dine while enjoying breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. It has a friendly, unpretentious vibe and is very popular with families and locals. The menu features generous portions of local cuisine; their seafood dishes and traditional Italian fare (including a famously giant breaded cotoletta!) will satisfy the heartiest appetites. Prices are reasonable (around €20–25 for a meal) and there are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available, making it easy to bring the whole family. With highchairs provided and a kids’ menu, this family-friendly restaurant is a great choice for a relaxed evening by the lake. Parking is convenient nearby, and after dinner you can gelato in hand stroll along Suna’s little lungolago.
- Il Regno di Napoli (Intra) – Craving pizza or a budget-friendly meal? Head to Il Regno di Napoli in Verbania-Intra, a lively pizzeria-restaurant that locals swear has the best Neapolitan pizza in town. Here you’ll find an extensive menu of wood-fired pizzas (with that perfect fluffy crust), classic Italian pastas, and southern Italian seafood dishes, all at affordable prices. Despite its name, the cuisine isn’t only Neapolitan – it ranges from fresh lake fish to vegetarian pastas – and they even offer vegetarian and vegan options. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it good for all ages (children will love the pizzas, and the staff are very accommodating). Fast, friendly service is another plus – multiple visitors have noted the prompt, attentive staff and quick delivery of dishes. Whether you dine in or grab a takeaway, Il Regno di Napoli is a go-to for an inexpensive, hearty meal in Verbania. Tip: their tiramisu or a scoop of gelato d’altri tempi (from a nearby gelateria) makes a great dessert after your pizza feast!
- Caffè delle Rose Bistrot (Pallanza) – For a more refined dining or café experience, try this historic bistrot situated just off Pallanza’s lakefront. Caffè delle Rose is a beautifully restored liberty-style café that doubles as a bistro and even a small B&B (“Les Chambres”). It’s perfect for a romantic dinner, elegant lunch, or afternoon aperitivo with a view. The atmosphere is ambient and upscale yet still friendly, and the service is impeccable. Chef Max Celeste (a Michelin-recognized chef) crafts a seasonal menu blending tradition and innovation – you might find dishes like octopus with locally sourced herbs, or handmade ravioli with modern twists. Everything is prepared with fresh, local ingredients and presented artfully. The bistro also offers fine wines (with pairings suggested for each dish) and excellent cocktails. Even if you don’t come for a full meal, stopping by for a cappuccino and pastry or an evening spritz on their outdoor terrace is a treat, thanks to the early 1900s charm and lake views. Prices here are higher (it’s in the Michelin guide, expect ~€50/person for dinner), but for a special occasion or to taste modern Italian cuisine in Verbania, Caffè delle Rose Bistrot is well worth it. Reservations are recommended, especially in summer.
Of course, these are just a few options – Verbania has plenty of other eateries, from simple gelaterias (don’t miss trying a gelato at Gelateria d’Altri Tempi in Intra, a local favorite) to cozy wine bars. Part of the fun is exploring Pallanza and Intra’s streets and discovering your own favorite café with a view. But wherever you choose to dine, you’ll enjoy the rich flavors of northern Italy’s lake district – buon appetito!
What to Do Around Verbania
Verbania and its surroundings offer a wealth of activities for all ages, whether you’re interested in gardens, culture, or outdoor adventure. Here are some of the top things to see and do:
- Visit Villa Taranto Gardens: Verbania’s crown jewel is the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens, a 16-hectare paradise of rare plants and flowers from every corner of the globe. Created in the 1930s by a Scottish captain, these gardens were designed in an English style with winding paths, fountains, and terraced flowerbeds overlooking the lake. Strolling here is a delight – depending on the season you’ll see tulip displays, lotus blossoms, dahlias, and vibrant autumn foliage, among the 20,000 plant species cultivated on the grounds. It’s a peaceful place to spend a morning, taking in exotic trees and colorful blooms while the lake shimmers in the background. Don’t miss the Victoria Amazonica water lilies in the greenhouse or the reflection pond. Villa Taranto’s gardens are internationally renowned (often considered among Europe’s top botanical gardens), so this is a must-do for nature lovers and photographers.
- Stroll the Lakefront Promenades: Verbania is actually an amalgamation of several historic borghi (towns) – notably Pallanza and Intra – each with its own charming lakefront. In Pallanza, you can walk along the lungolago (lakefront promenade) lined with plane trees, elegant hotels, and cafes, enjoying views of the Borromean Gulf and mountains. There’s a lovely public park at the point (near Villa Giulia) and even a small beach at Suna if you want to sunbathe or swim. Over in Intra, the vibe is a bit more bustling: you’ll find a ferry dock, gelaterias, and shops, plus another scenic waterfront path. Whichever you choose, be sure to take an evening “passeggiata” (stroll) as the sun sets – the sky turns pink over the lake and the lights of the opposite shore start to twinkle. The combination of lake and Alpine panorama is simply stunning (the town sits on a promontory that offers breathtaking views up and down Lake Maggiore). Along the way, you’ll pass historic cafes and terraces perfect for an aperitivo – truly la dolce vita! For families, the promenades have playgrounds and often host summer evening markets or music events, making them lively places to wander.
- Explore Local Culture & Museums: Despite its resort feel, Verbania is rich in culture and history. You can step into the Museo del Paesaggio (Landscape Museum) in Pallanza, which is set in an old palazzo and showcases art and artifacts related to the Lake Maggiore region’s landscape and culture. Its collections include paintings, sculpture, and archaeological finds – a nice way to spend a couple of hours, especially on a rainy day. Nearby, Villa Giulia is a 19th-century villa with lovely gardens that’s now used for exhibitions and events (check if any art shows or concerts are on during your visit). For history buffs, a short drive away in Verbania Fondotoce is the Casa della Resistenza, a museum and memorial documenting the WWII partisan resistance in this area. And in the hills above (right in Gignese where Hartmann B&B is located) you’ll find a quirky little Umbrella Museum – yes, an entire museum dedicated to umbrellas and parasols! Gignese was historically home to many umbrella-makers, and this museum (open in summer) showcases antique parasols, tools, and the history of this traditional craft. It’s a small but interesting stop if you’re driving by on the way to Mottarone. Finally, don’t overlook Verbania’s beautiful churches: the Renaissance-era Madonna di Campagna (with stunning frescoes and a peaceful park setting) and the Romanesque Oratorio di San Remigio (an 11th-century chapel on a hill) are both worth a visit for their architecture and serenity.
- Take a Boat to the Borromean Islands: No trip to Lake Maggiore is complete without exploring the magical Borromean Islands, which float in the gulf between Verbania and Stresa. From Verbania’s ferry terminals (Intra or Pallanza), you can catch a ferry or taxi-boat to the islands – services run frequently in spring/summer. Isola Bella is the star, home to the 17th-century Borromeo Palace and its extravagant Italianate gardens. Touring the palace, you’ll see lavish Baroque salons and grotto-like chambers, and in the terraced gardens you’ll encounter white peacocks strutting among statues and exotic plants – it feels like a scene from a fairytale. Isola Madre, the largest island, is more botanical garden than palace – its grounds are an English-style garden famous for rare plants and a population of free-roaming parrots and pheasants. It also has a charming villa with antique furnishings and a puppet theater exhibit. Isola dei Pescatori (Fishermen’s Island) offers a completely different atmosphere – a quaint fishing village of narrow lanes and stone houses. It’s perfect for a leisurely lunch of fresh lake fish at one of the family-run trattorias, or to shop for local souvenirs. A popular plan is to spend a full day island-hopping: start at Isola Madre’s gardens in the morning, have lunch on Pescatori, then spend the afternoon at Isola Bella so you can enjoy its gardens in the later light. Ferries will shuttle you back to Verbania or on to Stresa easily. These islands are truly enchanting – as you approach by boat, you’ll see why writers and artists have raved about their beauty for centuries. (Tip: go early or on weekdays if possible to avoid peak crowds, and note that gardens are typically open late March through October.)
- Relax on Beaches and Lidos: Lake Maggiore’s clear waters are very inviting in the warm months, and the Verbania area has some great spots to swim or picnic by the shore. In addition to the small beach areas in Pallanza-Suna, you might venture a bit north to Ghiffa or south towards Baveno, where there are both public beaches and lido clubs (beaches with facilities). A few noteworthy spots: Spiaggia di Suna (Verbania) – a mix of grass and pebbles with a roped-off swimming area and nearby cafes; Tre Ponti Beach (Verbania-Intra) – a free beach popular with locals, offering sandy and grassy areas plus a beach bar in summer; Ghiffa beaches – little hidden strips of pebble beach with very clean water (Località Sasso or Isolino are recommended). Many beaches around here have views of the mountains and are less crowded than those on the Swiss side of the lake. If you prefer a pool, Verbania’s Lido di Suna has an outdoor swimming pool with lake views, and there’s also an indoor municipal pool in Intra for lap swimming. Water sports are also available – you can rent stand-up paddle boards or kayaks, try wakeboarding or water-skiing with local clubs, or even go scuba diving in the lake. Whether you’re sunbathing, splashing with your kids, or enjoying an aperitivo at a beach bar, spending time by the water is a must in Verbania, especially in the summer heat.
- Enjoy Scenic Views and Hikes: The scenery around Verbania is spectacular, and there are plenty of ways to soak it in. For a panoramic viewpoint, consider a trip up Monte Mottarone (1492 m), the mountain that rises between Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta. From Hartmann B&B in Gignese, you can drive up to Mottarone’s summit in under 30 minutes. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with a 360° view that on clear days spans seven different lakes and the distant Monte Rosa massif. In summer, Mottarone offers hiking and an alpine coaster (Alpyland) for kids; in winter, it’s a small ski area. If you prefer staying lakeside, take a walk (or short drive) to Sacred Mount of Ghiffa, a hillside sanctuary north of Verbania which has a beautiful view terrace and walking paths overlooking the lake. Verbania is also at the doorstep of the Val Grande National Park, Italy’s largest wilderness area. There are hiking trails accessible within a 20–30 minute drive (like Cicogna or Piancavallo) that lead you through chestnut forests and to alpine overlooks – a paradise for nature enthusiasts. Even within town, you can find viewpoints: climb up to Madonna del Popolo church above Intra or the little chapel of San Martino above Pallanza for pretty panoramas of the red-roofed towns and blue water below. And of course, simply driving the lakeside roads or taking a ferry ride will present countless photo-worthy vistas of Lake Maggiore’s scenery. Keep your camera ready – from sunrise over the lake to sunset behind the mountains, Verbania’s surroundings are endlessly inspiring.
As you can see, whether you’re interested in gardens, gastronomy, history, or outdoor fun, the Verbania area has something to fill your days. Hartmann Feel At Home’s hosts are always happy to provide more personalized recommendations – don’t hesitate to ask them for their favorite hidden spots or current events happening during your stay. The beauty of basing yourself here is that you can be as active or as relaxed as you like: spend one day hopping islands and hiking mountaintops, and the next simply lounging in a lakeside café or under a tree in Hartmann’s garden. This flexibility is what makes Lake Maggiore such a beloved destination.

Getting to Hartmann Feel At Home from Verbania: The B&B’s address is Salita Rognoni 10, 28836 Gignese (VB). If you have a car, the drive is about 30–35 minutes: from Verbania Pallanza, follow the lakeside road south through Baveno to Stresa. In Stresa, you’ll see signs for Gignese/Mottarone – take the scenic uphill road (SP41) about 8 km to Gignese. The villa is located in a residential area of Gignese; there’s a gated entrance and free parking on-site for guests. The drive is quite enjoyable, offering lovely views of the lake as you climb into the hills. If arriving from the Autostrada (A26), the closest exit is Carpugnino/Stresa – from there it’s just 10 minutes up to Gignese. By public transport, it’s also possible to reach Hartmann: from Verbania-Intra, you can take a ferry or bus to Stresa (there are regular bus lines connecting Verbania, Stresa, and Arona). Once in Stresa, a local bus (SAF Route 1S or the Stresa–Gignese line) runs a few times a day up to Gignese – the ride is only about 25–30 minutes and you can get off in Gignese village, about 300 m from the B&B. Alternatively, taxis are readily available in Stresa; a taxi ride up would take 10 minutes. If you’re coming from Milan or Malpensa Airport without a car, you could take a direct Alibus or train to Stresa (Stresa has a train station on the Milan-Domodossola line), then continue as above. The hosts at Hartmann can provide up-to-date public transport info or even arrange a private transfer if needed – just ask.
Local transportation tips: Once you’re at Hartmann, you’ll likely want a car to explore the wider region freely, but it’s not absolutely required. Verbania itself can be reached by bus or ferry as mentioned, and from Verbania you can use ferries to visit other lake towns (like Laveno, Baveno, or the Borromean Islands). There are also local buses connecting Verbania’s different neighborhoods (Pallanza, Intra, Suna) and nearby villages. If you enjoy cycling, consider renting e-bikes – the area around Verbania has some nice bike paths (for example, along the lake to Fondotoce) and ebikes make tackling hills easier. Hartmann’s property offers bicycle parking and is close to several cycling routes. Walking is another pleasant way to get around Verbania’s center – it’s compact and pedestrian-friendly. For farther excursions, the B&B can help arrange tours or give driving directions (they’re well situated between Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta, so you can easily do day trips to Orta San Giulio, the Ossola valleys, or even a hop into Switzerland at Locarno).
In summary, Hartmann Feel At Home provides not only a wonderful place to stay near Verbania, but also the guidance and convenience to explore the Lake Maggiore region with ease. Whether you drive or use local transport, you’ll find that a bit of extra distance from Verbania is a small trade-off for the tranquility and hospitality you gain. And each evening, after exploring villas, islands and lakeside towns, you’ll love coming “home” to Hartmann – relaxing in the garden or by the fireplace, perhaps chatting with the hosts about your day. By choosing Hartmann as your base, you truly can enjoy Verbania and its surroundings to the fullest, with a comfortable retreat awaiting you at day’s end. Safe travels and benvenuti – welcome to Lago Maggiore!
