Maccagno (approx. 2,300 inhabitants) is situated at the outlet of the Veddasca Valley, one of the most beautiful valleys near Luino. The center of Luino, with its 12,000 inhabitants, is only 6 km away. The Giona river, which merges precisely with Lake Maggiore at Maccagno, divides the town into two sister communities, each with ancient village centers and their own beaches: Maccagno Inferiore and Maccagno Superiore. The mild climate, the clarity of the water, and the beauty of the views of the lake and mountains that can be enjoyed here make this place a popular attraction for those seeking peace, tranquility, unspoiled nature, and a healthy and refreshing lifestyle that quickly makes one forget the stresses of everyday life.
The Giona Park, located on the riverbank, with its lush vegetation, wide open spaces, and children's playground with a halfpipe, is a true oasis of nature. Beautiful destinations include the beach promenade and the Lido of Ronco delle Monache. A nautical club with boat mooring, a windsurfing and sailing school, athletics facilities, and tennis courts complete the sports facilities of Maccagno. Walks or excursions: to Monte Venere via Maccagno Inferiore, from S. Martino in Campagnano to Garabiolo, to Montagnola (913 m) and M. Borgna (1,175 m) up to Sarangio Orascio, Entiglio, and Pianca, which are all rural settlements.
