Hotel Ristorante Al Sorriso was born in 1981, from the initiative of Angelo, reduced from an international formation as a restorer to the very highest levels and Luisa, self-taught and original cook from Soriso. The secret of their success is the result of sacrifices, of authentic passion for the excellence of the table, the cult of the taste that is inherent in all the children of the land of Piedmont. Today, after thirty years, the Michelin star and the numerous international awards make Al Sorriso an oasis of harmony and cordiality, a delightful concentration of emotions. A dream, in short. Angelo and Luisa Valazza will welcome you in the best way in this small ancient village: porphyry paved streets and bowls that wind through the old restored houses respecting the ancient and mild style of the population where the silence, the fresh and pleasant climate reigns undisputed.

Il Palazzo Tornielli di Ameno deve il proprio nome alla nobile dinastia di Borgolavezzaro, uno dei casati tra i più illustri e importanti di Novara fin dal Medioevo; l’aristocratica famiglia Tornielli poteva vantare, infatti, tra le sue proprietà il così detto “palazzo di campagna”, sistemazione ideale per balli, concerti e ricevimenti. L’edificio è costituito da corpi risalenti a diversi periodi storici e si sviluppa attorno a due ampi cortili interni; di particolare rilievo, all’interno del palazzo, sono lo scalone con ringhiere in ferro battuto e gli affreschi mitologici che decorano il soffitto del vano scala. Degna di nota, poi, la bella facciata dell’edificio – risalente al XVIII secolo – la quale volge alla piazza. Oggi il Palazzo Tornielli è sede del Comune di Ameno e dello Spazio Museale, un tempo ala destinata in parte a magazzino per lo stoccaggio del fieno e del foraggio dei cavalli e in parte agli appartamenti signorili e alla residenza del fattore.

IMAGINATION AND FLAVOUR IN THE ANCIENT STREETS OF ORTA In a slightly off the beaten position, almost as if you had to look for it, but also to try it out.

In summer, lake terrines and “carpione”, Piedmontese pickled specialities, eel on a skewer or brochette, home-made pastas and fillings. A contemporary almost playful style of furnishing in the dining rooms on two different levels.

It was started in this small mountain village in the Verbano Cusio Ossola Province to record the flourishing production of wind instruments which has been a traditional activity in the village. The museum is laid out on two floors; the upper floor exhibition illustrates the traditional craft methods of making the instruments, while the ground floor is devoted to recording the history and rural Alpine life of the village. More than three hundred instruments are displayed in the upstairs section; some are rare examples, of historical and documentary interest. The woodwinds include clarinets, oboes, bassoons, saxophones and flutes, the brasses trumpets, trombones, horns and saxhorns. The ground floor section exhibits objects and tools in a reconstruction of their historical setting, bringing to life the traditional customs of Quarna and its surrounding area; the loom, the wine press and the mill are prime examples. A recently-opened section focuses on mammals, birds and reptiles, some of them endangered species. Minerals and rocks from the area are also on display. The Museum also hosts teaching activities, and organizes important musical events including concerts and competitions.
