Lake Maggiore

offers a fabulous and varied environment, where beautiful mountains create the perfect setting for walks, hikes and mountain tours. The lake holds three precious jewels, the Borromean Islands with their natural, artistic, and historical beauty. Located in the western arm of the lake called the Borromeo Gulf, the Borromean Island archipelago includes Isola Madre, the largest of the three with its exotic and precious botanical plants from all over the world, Isola Bella, with its Renaissance palace and a magnificent garden in Baroque style, and Isola dei Pescatori, the only one to be permanently inhabited.
