Porto Ronco is a small quiet village in the romantic countryside. It is located just 3 km from the famous tourist town of Ascona, which is famous for its wonderful historical center, where there are numerous restaurants and shops, a golf course and a beautiful beach.
The village is located right near the lake and has a port, which is used by fishermen and boaters. In addition, there is a pier for water transport operating between the village and Ascona, Locarno, the Italian part of the lake. You can take a tour by boat to the islands of Brissago from here.
There are famous routes in the mountains in Porto Ronco.
The village is characterized by mild Mediterranean climate, which is protected by the mountain ranges of the Southern Alps. The village is located at around 200 meters above the sea level, so a lot of subtropical plants grow there.
4/5 part of Lago-Maggiore lake is located in the territory of Italy, and only the northern part is in Switzerland.
