A versatile holiday or a short break with friends or family!
Besides the 'sun-more-beach activities' such as swimming, kayaking, surfing and supping, this beautiful area, only 975 km from Utrecht, offers plenty of opportunities to discover the surrounding mountains with the typical villages on foot or by bike. Especially now that you can rent E-mountain bikes in Porlezza, a joint bike ride is highly recommended.
For the golf enthusiast: several 9- and 18-hole golf courses in the immediate vicinity, including Menaggio, Lanzo di Intelvi, Lugano and Como. Ski enthusiasts will get their money's worth in the nearby (1 hour) winter sports resorts such as St. Moritz (Switzerland) and Madesimo (Italy).
