I was gifted a cooking class for my birthday and my oh my was it an experience.. The location was top notch, the staff was so warm and welcoming, we felt like VIPs throughout the whole day. Since we were the first clients at this specific location, Simona was with us all the time and she also was so kind and lovely, it felt like we'd known her for a long time already. The food we made was delicious and we got all the recipes and even some more. If you want a unique experience for yourself or a loved one, we couldn't recommend Il Viaggiatore more.+1

Bella e rilassante passeggiata Bellissima camminata da Cannobio a Cannero (con andata e ritorno in battello da Luino) che consente di godere di bellissimi punti panoramici lungo il percorso. Molto bella anche la piccola e antica chiesa di San Gottardo di cui si può vedere l'interno (illuminandolo) anche quando è chiusa. Ci sono un po' di saliscendi ma è una passeggiata piacevole e nient'affatto difficile.

Cannobio einer der schönsten Orte am Gardasee Wir kommen sehr gerne nach Cannobio, für uns der schönste Ort am Lago Maggioreauf der italienischen Seite. Cannobio hat einen sehr schönen, alten Ortskern mit engen Gassen zum Bummeln und einkaufen. Eine wunderschöne Seepromenade mit vielen Caffes, Trattorien, Restaurants, Eisdielen und, und, und. Sonntags einen großen Marktund meistens gutes Wetter. Wir kommen immer wieder!
