If you're craving some outdoor fun, make a day trip to Monte Mottarone. No walk around the block, this hike is great for some mid-vacation exercise.

This steep landmass is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Verbania. But Monte Mottarone isn't the only drawcard in the area. Villa Taranto Botanical Garden, Isola Bella Botanical Garden, and Borromeo Plaza are some other worthwhile attractions nearby.

8.6/10 Excellent! (143 reviews)

Great for ski-in-out. Decent size room, robes,etc. Room lacked adequate lighting and had NO mirrors except the dark bathroom. Breakfast was good but items in the buffet were not replenished. The head waiter was too prominent in constantly berating his staff. One night we told there were no tables when obviously there were plenty. Shower had good water pressure and ample room.
