This beach on Lake Monate is truly beautiful, and the staff are friendly and kind. I highly recommend trying their aperitif, as they serve a variety of delicious appetizers at the best prices among the equipped beaches on the lake. It's absolutely fantastic!
La plage était absolument fantastique ! Le personnel était incroyablement accueillant et accommodant, et le bar et les toilettes étaient impeccables. Le lac était magnifique et offrait une expérience de baignade sûre et agréable pour les adultes et les enfants. J'ai déjà hâte de retourner dans cette merveilleuse destination !
Cette plage était incroyable ! Nous avons eu la meilleure expérience de baignade dans le nord de l'Italie. Le sable était doux et la zone était impeccable, et l'eau était plus chaude que dans les autres lacs du nord. Les prix étaient raisonnables ; vous pouviez soit payer des frais d'entrée de 6 € par personne, soit louer un transat avec un parasol pour 20 € par couple. J'avais lu que le lac d'Orta était un joyau caché dans le nord de l'Italie, mais je l'ai vraiment apprécié après avoir passé la journée dans ce lido !
The toilets are clean and the lake is beautiful, but that's where the positives end. The tent spaces are extremely small, forcing you to choose between setting up a table and two chairs or parking your car. The ground is dusty and too hard to secure the tent properly. We had no shade from 8am to 6pm, causing the inside of our tent to reach 42°C with no other place to rest. The camping staff was rude and unhelpful, even though there were other shaded spots available. The campsite was crowded and noisy at night, with people talking loudly at the restaurant until 11:30pm. They charged an extra 3€ for each gluten-free pizza, making it too expensive for our two celiac daughters. Additionally, we were charged 10€ for booking in advance, but were not allowed to choose our tent spot. We will NEVER return.
The pizza was outstanding, and the dessert was even more delightful. There's a lovely view of the lake and excellent quality water for swimming. We visit with Eurosub for diving and then enjoy socializing afterward.
This place was an excellent discovery... offering a pleasant atmosphere for lunch, dinner, aperitivo, or any time of the day. The lake is beautiful, and the absence of motorized boats only enhances the ambiance (and water quality). Parking is convenient, and it's safe for children. We will certainly be coming back.
