There are some beautiful sights to see within the village, from the Sanctuary of Sant’Anna which is adorned with 17th century frescos, and the Oratorio of San Rocco.

The lake itself is a huge source of entertainment for those lucky enough to be staying in a self catering Argegno holiday rental too.
