Gallarate, mejores playas

This beach on Lake Monate is truly beautiful, and the staff are friendly and kind. I highly recommend trying their aperitif, as they serve a variety of delicious appetizers at the best prices among the equipped beaches on the lake. It's absolutely fantastic!

¡La playa fue absolutamente fantástica! El personal fue increíblemente acogedor y servicial, y el bar y los baños estaban impecables. El lago era impresionante y proporcionó una experiencia de natación segura y agradable tanto para adultos como para niños. ¡Ya estoy deseando volver a este maravilloso destino!

¡Esta playa fue increíble! Tuvimos la mejor experiencia de natación en el norte de Italia. La arena era suave y el área estaba impecable, y el agua era más cálida que otros lagos del norte. Los precios eran razonables; podías pagar una tarifa de entrada de €6 por persona o alquilar una tumbona con una sombrilla por €20 por pareja. Había leído que el Lago Orta era una joya escondida en el norte de Italia, ¡pero solo lo aprecié realmente después de pasar el día en este lido!

The toilets are clean and the lake is beautiful, but that's where the positives end. The tent spaces are extremely small, forcing you to choose between setting up a table and two chairs or parking your car. The ground is dusty and too hard to secure the tent properly. We had no shade from 8am to 6pm, causing the inside of our tent to reach 42°C with no other place to rest. The camping staff was rude and unhelpful, even though there were other shaded spots available. The campsite was crowded and noisy at night, with people talking loudly at the restaurant until 11:30pm. They charged an extra 3€ for each gluten-free pizza, making it too expensive for our two celiac daughters. Additionally, we were charged 10€ for booking in advance, but were not allowed to choose our tent spot. We will NEVER return.

The pizza was outstanding, and the dessert was even more delightful. There's a lovely view of the lake and excellent quality water for swimming. We visit with Eurosub for diving and then enjoy socializing afterward.

This place was an excellent discovery... offering a pleasant atmosphere for lunch, dinner, aperitivo, or any time of the day. The lake is beautiful, and the absence of motorized boats only enhances the ambiance (and water quality). Parking is convenient, and it's safe for children. We will certainly be coming back.
