Professional description
From Stresa and from any other town on lake Maggiore you have the chance to enjoy many day-tours: the Borromean Islands (Borromee Islands), including the famous and astonishing Isola Bella - Beautiful Island - with its 17th-century baroque Palace and its unique terraced Italian gardens.
Lake Orta, so special, with a lovely medieval village called Orta San Giulio, an enchanting Island steeped in history and a Unesco Site, i.e. the Sacro Monte of San Francesco - the Holy Mount of St. Francis. Being on a lake, why not take a private cruise as far as one of the many elegant and picturesque little towns on lake Maggiore, or a boat tour around Stresa. A tour to the near Alps could be a memorable day: Mount Rosa and the alpine village of Macugnaga, Formazza valley with the spectacular Toce Falls, the famous Centovalli train and the picturesque Vigezzo valley...
