Casa del Pellegrino

Monte Isola is the tallest lake island in Europe and has a rich tradition of welcoming travelers on their journey as early as 905 AD. Whether you are seeking leisure, adventure, solitude, or personal transformation, we invite you to experience the same sense of hospitality and care that pilgrims might have received in centuries past. Come experience an authentic, warm, and welcoming place to stay in the heart of the island.

Our property offers a sense of connection to Monte Isola's timeless traditions of pilgrimage, rest, and beauty. Look out the windows of our flat and you will see the Santuario della Madonna della Ceriola church, a 15th century castle, a timeless courtyard, and breathtaking mountain lake views. Our 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom flat has a spacious living room and fully equipped kitchen, so pack light & rest easy.

Find us conveniently located in Menzino, a medieval hamlet known for the majestic Rocca Oldofredi-Martinengo castle, just a 5-min walk out the front door. We are located 2 bus stops from the Peschiera to Sulzano ferry, and a 10-min walk down to Sensole ferry. Hike up to the peak for 360 panoramic views from the church, sit beside the lake among the olive trees for a traditional Italian meal, relax at the local beach just a 7-min walk away, or tour the 9km perimeter trail of the island by bike.

We're honored to host you at Casa del Pellegrino in one of the most beautiful and unique locations in Italy. Join the many who have fallen in love with Monte Isola—where lake views, charming walks, and timeless tranquility await you on your journey.
