Lake Maggiore

A precious custodian of the wealth and cultural heritage left by noble and powerful Borromeo family, Lake Maggiore still bears witness to the prestige of its ancient past.

Lake Maggiore is an Alpine lake whose shores overlook the Italian territory and the Swiss one.
It is the second Italian lake for surface after Lake Garda and for depth after Lake Como.

The shores of the lake have been inhabited since ancient times, as evidenced by numerous finds dating back to the Iron Age.

It was in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance that the lake experienced its greatest growth with the settlement of villages and the construction of castles and patrician villas along its banks.
Established tourist destination, the fame of the lake is linked to the Borromeo family present on the territory since the fifteenth century.

The Borromean Islands, owned by the family, are known as the pearls of the lake. These are three islands (Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola dei Pescatori) which are located in front of the famous resort of Stresa.

Isola Bella in particular houses the important Palazzo Borromeo and the imposing gardens, which are a typical example of a seventeenth-century Italian garden, developed on terraces, a true unspoiled paradise boasting countless exotic plants and flowers of great beauty.
