What travellers are saying
- Mike GDetroit, MI109 contributionsThe Church and churchyard were beautiful and worth the walk from the lakeside. The church had beautiful paintings and religious depictions inside the church. It took our breath away.Written 9 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

It’s a great way to see the lake which is obviously massive.
Booked the boat before we arrived. Team at the place we’re great - can speak (just enough) English. Boat very new and clean everything worked. You don’t need a licence. Takes credit card - you need to take proof of Id.
Highly recommended.Written 14 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Due to the ten minute cyclone that had passed through Beono on August 11th it was closed. There was a lot of fallen trees and broken branches visible from the street.Written 14 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Fiona H7 contributionsWe visited this rock museum in July 2019, it was extremely hot inside with no air con so we didn't stay long. it only takes around 20 -30 minutes to look round and read the boards but it is free and is interesting but not worth a trip if you are outside of the area. It is on the same site as the church of Santi Gervaso e Protaso in Piazza Della Chiesa.Written 7 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GB&TBLondon, UK135 contributionsMy wife, 6 year old daughter and I spent the day here on two occasions in late July.
The 'aqua' part consists of an open air pool with adjacent shallow kiddies wading pool and three enclosed water slides. There is a man-made 'beach' with sun loungers and shades. The pool has a retractable cover in case it rains.
The 'adventure' part mainly consists of a rock climbing (with abseil descent), bungee-trampolines, separate kiddies and adults high wire obstacle courses and a covered, limited, soft play area for younger children. You can also hire e-bikes. This venue also hosts summer camps for school kids (in Italian only). There is a snack bar and a kiosk by the pool.
There is certainly plenty to do, but at a cost! Having paid to access the pool, you pay extra for sun beds, pay extra for each use of the water slides and pay extra to use the showers! Payment is made via pre-pay wrist bands.
The adventure options are, pay per use, although there are various packages that bundle activities together, saving cost. However buy wisely because you may struggle to use up all your credits. In fact we pre-bought four activities for our 6year old and only used 3 on the second visit. There was no control on who was entitled to how many activities; the electronic access system for the adventure park (different to the wrist band) was inactive and nobody checked receipts to verify entitlements (also means I had no way to claim any refund on unused activities).
If you want to alternate between 'aqua' and 'adventure' during the course of the day (rather than doing activities en-bloc) then transitioning between the two areas is a total faff; you have to go through the changing rooms, turnstiles and reception to get from one area to the other.
Facilities are clean and tidy although the adventure park is showing signs of wear (especially the high wire sections).
Staff is polite and helpful and all seem to speak good English as the default alternative to Italian.
The pool, in particular, is small in view of the potential footfall. However, luckily on the two days we visited, the facility was no more than 1/3 full, which, considering the peak season, perhaps serves to emphasise how expensive this location is.Written 11 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
