Discovering Lake Maggiore
Villas, gardens and islands
Extending between Italy and Switzerland, overlapping Piedmont and Lombardy, Lake Maggiore enjoys undisputed fame for the refined beauty of the Borromeo Islands, which palaces and gardens with their unique botanical collections have made it a favorite destination for national and international tourism since the past centuries. Here majestic hotels (Arona, Stresa, Verbania-Pallanza) and luxurious villas were built, such as Villa Pallavicino and Villa Taranto, renowned for their striking flowering of camellias, azaleas and rhododendrons.
Nautical activities, the exquisite gastronomy, delightful views and a variety of itineraries that offer visitors the opportunity to enjoy relaxing walks along the lake or the surrounding alpine slopes, are but few of the reasons to take a vacation in the name of peace and charm.
