Visit of Stresa and boat tour of the islands Borromee (Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola dei Pescatori).
On the borders of Piedmont, Lombardy and Switzerland, the Lake Maggiore (or Verbano) is the second largest Italian lake, after Lake Garda.
Most of the lake lies in Italian territory and only the most northerly end (42 sq km) belongs to Switzerland.
Like the other northern Italian lakes, Lake Maggiore credentials as a tourist destination dates back to the early twentieth century, when a spate of illustrious visitors enjoyed life in luxurious lakeside villas and verdant gardens.
The most popular Lake Maggiore resorts are on the western shores of the lake. Stresa is a lovely town with beautiful villas and gardens (some open to the public), a good climate and lake views. From the town a cablecar takes you up Monte Mottarone, where from a height of over 4,000 ft you can enjoy views of the Alps and the other lakes.
If you spend time at Lake Maggiore, you will soon become familiar with the name of the Borromeo family, who still own the islands named after them. Their most celebrated son, St Charles Borromeo, was born in the castle in Arona, at the southern end of the west shore, where a gigantic statue celebrates him; if you climb up inside the hollow structure, you can admire the view through the Saint's eyes.
The Borromean Islands are an unmissable Lake Maggiore tourist attractions, containing beautiful gardens and small settlements with restaurants and shops.
