Rocca di Angera

What a wonderful place to step back in time and experience how glamorous life once was. The building is beautifully preserved, with elegant rooms, detailed furnishings, and stunning artwork that really capture the atmosphere of a different era. Every corner has something interesting to look at — from the architecture to the décor and lake views. It’s peaceful, full of history, and truly inspiring to imagine how people lived here in such style. Definitely a place worth visiting if you appreciate history, art, and beauty.

Beautiful place, surprisingly few tourists. The castle is amazing, the garden is wonderful and smells miraculously. The view... The view is mind-blowing. The last entrance is at 17:00 and the castle is open till 18:00 but don't repeat my mistake - come no later than 16:00, and preferably sooner. This place is worth every second of your time.

Nice place on the lake Maggiore, with a view and heritage to visit. The castle hosts an almost unique museum of dolls and toys which, alone, it's worth a visit. Not a cheap entrance ticket, but being private it makes sense.

A nice castle with an interesting toy museum. Recommend to go up to the tower so you can have a nice 360 view.

Very nice place to walk, rest and see the great view. The dolls museum is amazing

Nice castle and gardens to have a walk around and great views from the tower. Not too badly priced considering the upkeep required.

The castle Rocca di Angera is the must see place in Lago Maggiore. It is just stunning.

If you want a mountain to climb that is small and ends with a really neat castle, then go to here. You can drive right to the ticket booth, but you have about a 100 m walk uphill if you want to get in the castle. We took the ferry over from Arona And then walked up, it only took about 45 minutes. If you are a fan of dolls and mechanization of toys, then you’ll be delighted to go through the toy rooms. I was more interested in the restoration of the castle and I was not disappointed as to the fact that if you explored you could find your way to the top of the entire place and have a 360° view of the town of Angera as well as up the lake and over to Arona. There are many kids on school trips on the day we came and they were doing a Robin Hood type interactive play.
