A pretty lakefront and harbour behind which coloured buildings border a tiny square leading to the narrow shopping streets. The main road to Lugano runs behind the town leaving most of the lakefront with little traffic. Like most resorts in the area the views are wonderful, taking in the wide part of the lake, Bellagio and distant snow-capped mountains. |
