The centuries-old park surrounding the hotel and its indoor and outdoor pools offer different settings to carry a wedding from morning to evening, while the lake-facing terraces look out onto the Borromean Islands, a recurring landmark for couples who choose to marry on this side of the Verbano.

The Grand Hotel Dino overlooks the Baveno lakefront, just steps from the village centre, and is part of Zacchera Hotels, the hotel group that carries on a tradition of family hospitality on Lake Maggiore begun in 1873 with the first inn on the lake's shores.

In grand lakeside hotels there's always a risk that the setting takes over: I always try to bring the attention back to the people, letting their natural behaviour guide the shot.
