A few steps from the Alps, in a stunning natural environment, Lake Maggiore is the focal point for exciting excursions outdoors.
A fascinating discovery of majestic landscapes, a journey to rediscover the delights, curiosities, environment, to experience places outside the world, cultural itineraries: archeology, parks and nature reserves rich in flora and fauna, botanical gardens, castles, medieval villages, historical buildings.
Lake Maggiore has been the cradle of the Borromeo family, that here lavished all its sophistication: as a testimony to their prestige, the sumptuous palaces on the islands, the prestigious Italian gardens and the imposing fortress of Angera.
The lake must be seen from the lake. And the lake gives the feeling that everything has stopped in time: an example is the Monastery of Santa Caterina, clinging to the rock, but also Stresa and the Borromean Islands, tiny and full of history, and the castles of Cannero, ancient shelter for the pirates of the lake.
