Latest Cannero Riviera hotel reviews
Manara Says: I mentioned in my introduction that Cannero has a beach. It is in a cove, on the southern side of the village, i.e. on the opposite side with respect to the boat landing. The natural beaches here consist mostly of pebbles, but soft sand is brought in for the summer, and put...
Manara Says: The promenade is beautiful, but it is not the only place where it's nice to go for a walk. If you turn into the narrow alleys in the oldest part of the village, you will find how picturesque they are. Among their charms is the fact that every now and then you will catch a...
Manara Says: The village is small, so the promenade is not as grand as that of Stresa, but probably this is why I like it even more. The view is extremely beautiful, and I find it very relaxing that the houses and hotels I pass by are in a more real-life scale than those of the...
Manara Says: From Cannero you can see an island, a few km away, with a castle. Actually there are two small islands, although from the village you cannot notice, because of the perspective. A fortress was built there by the Mazzarditi family. It was known as Malpaga. The Mazzarditi were...
Camping Lido: Best camping by Lake Maggiore
Manara Says: I noticed this camping altough I did not stay there, and I looked for information because I know people who are fond of camping. I often passed by it during my stay in Cannero, because it's close to the walk by the lakeshore, and it looked like a very pleasant place, in a...
Manara Says: I have seen several restaurants in Cannero, and this one seems the most lively in the evenings. Probably it's because of its bar, where people spend time also before and after their meals. Or maybe it's just because it looks very hospitable and welcoming, with its tables in...
Manara Says: The location of this restaurant, between a camping site and the beach of Cannero, is precisely where one would wish to find a pizzeria, i.e. a place where you can have a quick bite, or a three-course meal to be enjoyed at leisure. There is space enough for many tables...
Ristorante Europa: Near the boat landing
Manara Says: This charming restaurant is in one of the old houses on the lake front. If you happen to have your meal inside you will probably see some pictures on the walls, showing how this same house looked like a century ago or so. But I think it more likely that you will want to dine...
Manara Says: Signor Carlo Zanoni, the current owner, is the grandson of the other Carlo Zanoni who started this business in 1911. In their piece of land in the centre of the village, by the stream of the Rio Cannero, this company grows plants and flowers to sell, but their activity...
Manara Says: In Cannero the climate is very mild, because the mountains shelter it from the cold winds, it is kissed by the sun for many hours a day, but it has also its share of rain, so this area is particularly suitable to grow plants and flowers of various kinds. Local and exotic...
Manara Says: I explained in another page how and why the soil in this area is especially suitable to grow azaleas, rhododendrons and camellias. In Cannero it is especially the camellias that dominate the scene. Every year, at the end of March, there is an important exhibition of...
Manara Says: When Italy was a poor country and many people migrated abroad, also Cannero had its migrants. Most of them, in the XIX century, went to England to seek their fortune, but they did not cut their ties with Cannero. On the contrary, several of them became benefactors of their...

The title I have given to this page is due to the number of camellias I have seen in the gardens of Cannero.
