Beautiful place but not accessible for people with walking problems. No lift (they didn't know how to make it work) paved difficult for a wheelchair, we stopped at the entrance. Free for those who have 30% or more disability and cannot access it. Shameful. Otherwise wonderful but I will have to go back alone

The important thing is to choose a sunny day and the show is guaranteed!!! Excellent conservative restoration in the Scaligera wing which hosts an exhibition of contemporary art. In the Historic Rooms you can feel the atmosphere of the past and the Doll and Toy Museum is incredible! At the end of the visit the Medieval Garden, the Cafeteria and the Bookshop are a true beauty

The Rocca Borromean of Angera is located near Angera and dominates the southern end of Lake Maggiore. In the historic rooms of the fortress there are original frescoes, paintings and decorations. Inside the fortress there is the Doll and Toy Museum.

We went to the fortress of Angera on a Thursday in July. The climb to get to the fortress can be done either by car or on foot (it remains a bit steep but feasible) Upon entering we stopped to admire the lake and the view under a porch covered with plants, very relaxing. The doll museum was a beautiful discovery, well maintained and also very interesting, it made us go back in time. As you visit the museum you have the opportunity to climb between the various floors of the fortress, to the end of the museum, where you are in the medieval setting. The justice room is the most beautiful room, from that you have the opportunity to climb into a first open space with unobstructed views of the lake, beautiful. With narrow stairs and low ceiling you can continue and get to the top of the tower, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view. The outdoor garden is well maintained, it seems to be in an enchanted garden. For a family of 3 adults, the cost of the ticket per person 15 € (then 45 € total) Certainly not a price is not cheap, but the opportunity to visit the museum, and especially to be able to climb to the top of the tower and be able to see the lake and the view over the whole territory is worth both the effort, the stairs a little cramped (but still the climb is feasible) and the price. Very recommended.

The splendor of the Rocca is a certainty, but I would like to add that the staff also makes the visit a beautiful memory. I visited it with my mother, young in spirit, but with some ailments given by age. I would like to express my thanks to Mrs Macella, the ticket clerk, and Mr Claudio, the director, who welcomed us with a big smile and made every effort to make the visit less difficult. It's a rare pleasure to meet people who put their heart and enthusiasm into their work. All this made the visit an unforgettable day!
