Three islands, one completely different from the other: luxury on Isola Bella, simplicity on Isola Pescatori and a luxuriant vegetation on Island Madre. Isola Bella: carried out in the 17th Century, it was an ambitious project that still amazes the visitors. What lies behind the idea of transforming a rocky island into a fanciful vessel? And what about the "Grotte"? The Italian gardens are unique all over the world. I'll show you the most romantic corners on Fishermen's Island, the preferred island by the romantic artists and men of letter in the 19th Century. Isola Madre: a completely private island. Thanks to its position, right in the middle of the Golfo Borromeo, you can find plants from all over the world growing in the open air. Coloured birds, like golden and silver pheasants and peacocks stroll in the garden. In the Museum are reconstructions of different habitats of a noble mansion and there is the peculiar collection of puppet theatre marionettes and tricks. Shall we start our tour?
We will start sailing towards Isola Bella. You can choose to take the liner, the public or a private boat (neither of them included). Enjoy the beautiful views to the terraced garden. After visiting the 30 odd richly decorated rooms of the imposing mansion, we'll have a pleasant walk in the Italian garden, where white peacocks wander around trimmed evergreens and tropical plants. We then sail towards Fishermen's Island to have time for lunch. There are restaurants of any kind. In the afternoon we can walk along the little lanes of this 1. 000 years old village to enjoy the different views to the Borromean Gulf, Isola Madre, Stresa and Baveno. Our last island is Isola Madre, where we spend most of the time in the landscape garden created in the 19th C. Here thrive huge Rhododendron bushes and Camellia trees, enjoying the sub-tropical micro-climate on the shores of Lake Maggiore. It is also worth visiting the house, now a Museum, to see period furniture, paintings and the marionette theatres
