  • Motorhome pitches at a farm a 10-minute drive from Lake Maggiore
  • Lake Orta 20 minutes’ drive; Palazzo Borromeo half an hour
  • Peaceful rural property with a restaurant and an archery centre
A peaceful property in a secluded corner of north-eastern Piedmont, a 10-minute drive from the town of Borgomanero, Agricampeggio Altana del Motto Rosso has a small number of motorhome pitches surrounded by splendid countryside. This is a top spot for some rural relaxation, but it’s also in a great location for getting out to Lake Maggiore (10 minutes' drive), or even setting off for a day out in Milan (just over an hour away), with its fashion boutiques and world-class museums. The pitches are part of a smallholding that mainly produces organically grown blueberries; guests can sample them in dishes created at the on-site restaurant, which also serves up cheeses and meats from the local Novara region for a true taste of the Piedmontese cuisine. Working up an appetite for those meals should be easy enough, whether you choose to stick around on site for an archery course, rent an e-bike for exploring the local area, or get out for a walk up at Lake Maggiore, Lake Orta (20 minutes) or in the Val Sesia (half an hour). The team on site are happy to offer advice and tips if you need some ideas on where to go. In general, this is a place where relaxation is at the forefront, with guests encouraged to spend time sitting quietly to enjoy the sound of birdsong or wait until after sunset for some excellent stargazing in this dark-sky location.

Electric optional grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: The value for money of this campsite is hard to beat! Although it could be difficult to find a level area when busy, we luckily had the site all to ourself so this wasn’t a problem. Just be mindful that the driveway to the campsite is down a narrow, single-track, gravel road with many potholes. However, once you’ve arrived, you’re greeted with a very clean, welcoming, eco-tourist restaurant/bar area, which really feels like a cabin-in-the-woods kind of vibe. The host was extremely accommodating, we arrived slightly after 8pm due to a mechanical problem with our van, which was no problem to the host as he waited around to welcome and check us in with a lovely, welcoming manner. This really was appreciated after a long drive! And in the morning he couldn’t help us more by phoning up a local garage to get us booked in to get our window repaired - thank you!!! WiFi was super good and fast, can reach it in the bar area and also on the campsite grounds. Key access to the toilet & shower 24/7. Again we had the whole place to ourselves but there is only one bathroom. Enjoy your stay if you choose to book, especially for the great price and host, and look out for a beautiful, clear night sky and see if you can spot some deer! Perfect stop-over for 1 night in our opinion but could stay longer.

Electric optional grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und eingewiesen. Den Platz konnten wir uns aussuchen, da wir die einzigen Gäste auf dem Stellplatz waren. Der Platz ist schön und ruhig gelegen. Sehr zu empfehlen ist das Nachtessen, das für uns und zwei weitere Gäste zubereitet wurde. Super Antipasti Platte, erster und zweiter Gang mit Auswahl, Pasta und natürlich Fleisch, auch sehr gut. Nach 2 Gängen waren wir eigentlich satt, aber einen halben Hauptgang und ein gemeinsames Dessert, haben wir uns trotzdem noch genehmigt.

Disliked: Im WC/Dusche wäre ein Haken für das Handtuch noch praktisch.

Electric optional grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: The toilet was clean and had toilet paper supplied, that's where this positive review ends!

Disliked: Where do I start? The pitch/site was just a weed infested gravel covered side area to the building on site, with no level areas to park. No pathway back to the building where there was a toilet shower basin cubicle at the main building. This was behind a gate that gets locked at night so you need to use the facilities before then. There are no hooks, shelves or anywhere to put your towel or toiletries and clothing whilst using the shower. So everything had to be put into the basin. And no dishwashing area, so the hand basin in the one toilet is the only area to wash your dishes. No rubbish bins or recycling bins for your waste. No wi-fi, no telephone or mobile phone reception. Completely isolated. This has been by far the worst place I have stayed at in Italy. It really should be removed from this app as it is not a suitable place for people to go to.

From the manager: Buongiorno, mi dispiace che sia trovato male ma se avesse letto di cosa disponiamo non era incluso il posto dove poter lavare piatti etc. Del resto a parte quando è arrivato non sono neppure riuscito ad avere un colloquio con lei dato che partiva presto ed arrivava tardi. La ringrazio comunque di avermi portato indietro la chiave elettronica che le permetteva di utilizzare i servizi igienici (mi dispiace che acqua calda e doccia non le siano stati soddisfacenti per le sue esigenze) ma .... Il posto a parte la ghiaia ed erba era completamente libero è poteva sicuramente mettersi come meglio credeva ( 30 metri per 10 penso siano abbastanza per trovare un posto in piano... lo dico da vecchio camperista. A presto e grazie delle sue critiche costruttive Marco

Local attractions

Spend a day exploring the Piedmontese coast of Lake Maggiore, stopping at Arona for a waterfront picnic, followed by walks to observation points or to the Colossus of San Carlo Borromeo statue. Or drive to Intra (45 minutes’ drive), where you can get a ferry to cross over to the Lombard shore and hiking trails up the forested Pizzoni di Laveno mountains. Animal residents at Pombia Safari Park (20 minutes) include giraffes, big cats and colourful macaws. It’s possible to walk through the lemur enclosure, and there’s also an area devoted to reptiles (geckos, lizards and snakes), plus a theme park with a Ferris wheel. The elegant Palazzo Borromeo (half an hour), on Isola Bella, opposite the lakeside town of Stresa, houses a gallery of Old Masters and a remarkable sequence of grottos decorated from floor to ceiling with stuccos of seashells, turtles and other sea creatures. White peacocks roam around the 17th-century Baroque gardens, with azaleas, camellias and ornate fountains.
