The Borromean Islands are the gems of Lake Maggiore. We start the tour from Stresa and head to our first stop: Isola Madre, the largets of the three islands with an imposing palace and English style botanical garden enriched with rare flowers, plants and trees from all corners of the world.
Our second stop is Isola Bella, the most awe-inspiring of of the islands. The majestic Baroque palace is full of priceless art and furniture, leading into the Italian garden arranged on 10 terraces overlooking the lake. On the island you will also have time for lunch at the newly refurbished Ristolounge Elvezia.
The last stop for the day is the picturesque Isola Pescatori, which is the only island that has remained the people's island. Strll through the narrow alleys of this medieval fisherman's village and browse the shops of local delicacies and handicraft before returning back to the mainland.
