Embrace a wonderful tour to Lake Maggiore including 5 or 7 nights lakeside accommodation and a great base to explore this stunning region.
Lake Maggiore straddles both Italy and Switzerland. It offers a peaceful and serene location and is known as the ‘aristocrat of the Italian lakes’; elegant with its gorgeous villas and gardens.
Stresa is, without doubt, the jewel of the lake; its stunning lakeside promenade overlooking the beautiful Borromean Islands and charismatic historic centre provides a perfect base.
The Borromean Islands are located just offshore from the centre of Stresa. Take a boat trip out to Isola Bella, which houses a beautiful stately home and elegant Italianate gardens, and Isola dei Pescatori (Fishermen’s Island), the only island which is currently inhabited.
