Lake Maggiore

Lake Maggiore is arguably the most romantic of the Italian Lakes.

Whilst, perhaps, it is less well known than its famous counterparts, Maggiore and its villas, lush gardens and elegant resorts never fail to encapture the hearts of many returning visitors each year.

With an international music festival taking place in Stresa each year, Lake Maggiore is an idyllic location amidst a palm fringed lake side setting.

Be sure to take in the Borromean Islands of Isola Pescatora, Bella and Madre; a must for any visitor.

Freiovolo, Begriate and Arona are other places here worth exploring.

Stresa is a superb base for your stay in Maggiore giving you ample opportunity to explore the lake, surrounding mountains, take a trip to the vineyards or just marvel at the Italian architecture.
