A gentle walk into Poppino’s historic core lets you sample a morning pastry and a robust Italian coffee, while a short ferry ride reveals lakeside villages with narrow lanes and lace shops. For the active traveler there are trailheads right above the village that wind through chestnut forests and hillside orchards, offering viewpoints that rival the terrace itself.
