“Village charmant qui mantien ce que son nom promet: un beau tour sur le lac”Stendhal
Belle girate — beautiful walks: that is what the name of this delightful village on the western shore of Lake Maggiore promises. Set on the tip of the promontory that separates the southern part of the lake from the Borromean Gulf, halfway between Arona and Stresa, Belgirate enjoys a mild climate tempered by the lake and the Vergante hills that surround it.
Its position, its history rooted in a distant past and its wonderful views of the lake have attracted illustrious guests: statesmen, poets, writers, industrialists and patriots who loved to stroll its narrow streets. Goethe, Stendhal, Manzoni and Hemingway are only some of the visitors who found inspiration here for their stories.
