Villa Banana, Cannobio Overview
Villa Banana is located in Cannobio, Italy. Rated 7.3 out of 10 based on 3 guest reviews.
Villa Banana is a small, pet-friendly stay in Cannobio, Italy, set at Via G. Allioli 12 with a garden and terrace that make it easier to slow down between lake activities. The seasonal outdoor pool is a welcome option when the weather is warm, and the picnic area suits travelers who want to eat outdoors without planning a full outing. Free WiFi helps you keep in touch, while tour assistance can take some of the guesswork out of arranging time on Lago Maggiore.
Guests have rated Villa Banana 7.3/10 based on three reviews, with real-world feedback pointing to a straightforward, homey base rather than a high-gloss resort experience. One recurring theme in small-sample reviews is that the property works best for travelers who are comfortable with a simple setup and who prioritize being close to the lake and nearby experiences. If you’re traveling with a pet, the fact that pets are allowed is a practical advantage for couples and families alike.
From here, it’s practical to reach Vittorio Emanuele III Plaza in about 3 km for a taste of town life, and Sant'Anna Gorge is roughly 6 km away for a memorable natural visit. The wider area also supports water-based plans—boat tours, snorkeling, kayaking, and even surfing or bodyboarding are available nearby—so you can build a day around the lake and return to the quiet of the terrace.
Best for couples, small families, and solo travelers who want a relaxed pace, outdoor time, and easy access to Lago Maggiore activities.

Should You Book Villa Banana?
Villa Banana is a reasonable choice if you value outdoor space and active lake-area activities, with a decent 7.3/10 guest rating despite only 3 reviews.

Not Ideal For

What to Expect
You arrive to Villa Banana with check-in available from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, then settle into a property that feels geared toward downtime with its terrace and garden. The outdoor seasonal pool and picnic area make it easy to spend unhurried time on-site between excursions. With tour assistance and nearby options like boat tours, kayaking, snorkeling, and parasailing, your days can be built around the lake activities rather than long planning. Based on the limited guest feedback, the stay appears generally positive overall, but the small number of reviews means experiences may vary.
