Very nice hosts, good breakfast. Ideal location between the Val Grande National Park and the west coast of Lake Maggiore. Also, the small village of Mergozzo is quite nice with some little streets and some restaurants on the lake side.

Very beautiful quiet location with a view of the lakes from the garden. Maurizia is an extremely friendly and thoughtful host who takes care of the guests and serves a wonderful, rich breakfast. Just a few minutes' walk away is a nice trattoria (Il Risottino; definitely make a reservation).

The B&B Il Picchio is a true haven of peace. The warm host Maurizia prepares a wonderful breakfast on the balcony table every day. With a view of the Mergozzo and Maggiore lakes, you can enjoy all sorts of delicacies and the first rays of sunshine, receiving helpful tips from Maurizia along with delicious homemade jam. You are spoiled for choice: swimming in the clean Lake Mergozzo, strolling by the nearby Lake Maggiore, or hiking in the wild Val Grande National Park. Or simply relax in the large garden. A great place to recharge your energy!

Located in a charming position with a view of the village of Bracchio and the lakes. An oasis of tranquility immersed in greenery. Spacious room, essential and harmonious furnishings (very comfortable bed), with small details that make the environment nice and even more pleasant. Access guaranteed even in the absence of the owners. Excellent breakfast with homemade and local products. Friendly and caring owners, very discreet but ready to meet every request or curiosity.

The place is fantastic, immersed in silent nature with a stunning view from the relaxation area. The room is spacious, well-furnished, clean, and the bathroom with shower as well. Maurizia is very kind, attentive, and gives great advice. The breakfast is plentiful and with fresh products. Lake Mergozzo is not far, 5 minutes by car. Definitely worth going back.

We have been to Lake Mergozzo more than once, but at the B&B Il Picchio we felt better than at home. It is a lovely place with a stunning view over the entire lake. The hosts are very skilled and courteous, even our little dog felt comfortable, breakfast. Better to try to believe! Excellent.
