General Description of Baveno
Smaller than neighbouring Stresa, Baveno offers little to see or do, although there is a pretty lakeside promenade and a 12th-century church alongside a chapel with delightful 15th-century frescoes. The main lakefront road is very busy and traffic lights in the centre cause long hold-ups at peak times.
Market/Suitability
Generally more mature couples. Not for those seeking lively nightlife.
Location/Contact
Location: In N Italy, in the NE Piedmont region, 25 mls from the Swiss border. 2 mls NW of Stresa. 50 mls NW of Milan and Linate airport. 30 mls NW of Milan's Malpensa airport.
Position: On the W shore of Lake Maggiore, facing the Borromean islands, with views of mountains in the distance and behind.
Postcode: 28042
Website: www.lagomaggiore.net
Accommodation
Traditional hotels and self-catering apartments.
Shopping
Quite a good little centre, slightly cheaper than Stresa, with a few souvenir shops near the lake. Weekly market on Monday mornings.
Entertainment
Daytime: various scenic walks; boat trips; fishing.
Nightlife: little worth mentioning beyond restaurant and cafe life.
Eating Out
A few restaurants, pizzerias and cafes, a handful of which are open air; some are too close to the busy main road.

Infrequent bus service. Regular trains to Milan. Excellent boat/hydrofoil service.
