Cannobio

This photogenic small town on the north-western shore of Lake Maggiore in Piedmont, Cannobio sits where the Cannobina Valley meets the lake and has repeatedly earned the FEE's Blue Flag environmental award. It has a notably dense café and restaurant scene for its size, several historic churches, and scenic viewpoints in the surrounding hills. The town borders Switzerland and is a short drive from the border, with the wider region ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
