Complete with plenty of comfortable sun loungers lining the water's edge, it’s the ideal spot to sit back and relax while the kids splash away.

With a delightful beach bar by the lake, a terraced restaurant in the centre of the action, and a menu featuring cool Italian classics, aperitivos and ice-creams aplenty, you’ll enjoy all the creature comforts any holiday needs here. Expect bingo, live music and dancing as the sun sets, too.

We’ve gathered together everything you need to know about your parc in one handy place. From what to know before you arrive, to those all -important guidelines to make your stay on parc as smooth as possible. Take a minute to get up to speed on your new summer home.

From parc-run kids’ clubs to yoga sessions in the sun, outdoor fitness classes to tennis, there’s a lot going on at this fun and friendly parc.

As scenic as it gets, Lake Maggiore – Italy's second largest lake and a paradise for anyone who loves lakeside living – is perfectly placed for active holidays. Think waterskiing, paddleboarding, swimming and snorkelling, or something gentler like a dinner cruise or an afternoon's boat hire, hopping between the pretty villages that cling to its shores (the weekly markets in towns like Intra and Luino are definitely worth exploring). The backdrop, wherever you’re headed, is spectacular. Alpine peaks, forests and valleys frame the lake, best appreciated from the Mottarone cable car above the elegant resort of Stresa, while history lovers can explore the dramatic Rocca di Angera fortress, the cliff-hugging hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, and the spellbinding Borromean Islands, including Isola Madre with its 16th-century palazzo and magnificent botanical gardens. This being Italy, culture and cuisine are never far away: wander the waterfront at Ranco where fantastic restaurants jostle for your attention, browse Verbania's lakeside promenades, or settle into a family-run trattoria beside Pallanza's pretty horseshoe-shaped harbour. Lakeside living seldom reaches such magical heights.
