Lake Maggiore, Italy
After breakfast, our private driver will meet us and escort you on a beautiful scenic journey toward Lake Maggiore (1.5 hours)—one of Italy’s most majestic lakes, shared with Switzerland and framed by snow-tipped Alps and Mediterranean-style gardens, as we travel, enjoy sweeping views of mountain peaks, shimmering water, and quaint villages tucked into the hillsides.
Upon arrival in the charming lakeside town of Stresa, we'll check into our accommodation, perfectly positioned on the waterfront. From here, we will set out on foot to begin exploring the lovely promenade lined with grand villas, lush gardens, and elegant cafés.
Stresa is the gateway to the legendary Borromean Islands—Isola Bella, Isola Madre, and Isola dei Pescatori—each known for ornate palaces, botanical gardens, and timeless island charm.

This morning is meant for pure relaxation. Sleep in, savor a slow breakfast, and take in the peaceful atmosphere of Stresa, where the lake glistens softly and the mountains rise like a watercolor backdrop. Life on Lake Maggiore moves at its own elegant pace—and today, you get to embrace it fully.
When you're ready, we’ll set off by boat to explore the enchanting Borromean Islands--Isola Bella, Isola Madre, and Isola dei Pescatori. Ferries run every 30 minutes, giving us complete freedom to enjoy each island at our leisure.
Our first stop, Isola Bella, is a feast for the senses. Tour the magnificent Palazzo Borromeo, with its opulent salons, historic halls, and atmospheric grottoes. Step outside into the extraordinary Italian terraced gardens where sculpted hedges, fountains, and blooming terraces create a world of enchantment. Keep an eye out for the island’s famous white peacocks, who stroll about like royalty.
