Overview of your Stresa tour:

At a short distance from Milan, the Borromeo's Islands are the highlight of a stay at Lago Maggiore. I've been guiding on these islands for more than 20 years but still I enjoy passing from one room to another of the marvellous palaces and breathing the unbelievable atmosphere in the gardens in all seasons as if it were the first day! Isola Bella will surprise you with its sumptuous baroque palace and its terraced Italian-style gardens. On Isola Madre, the atmosphere is more authentic, with a luxuriant English-style botanical garden; in the villa, you will have fun admiring a collection of marionettes and little theatres. Isola Pescatori is the more lively, with its many little shops and cafés, but if we get there in the late afternoon, we can still experience the life of an ancient village, with the coloured fishermen's houses protecting their baroque little church.

Your Stresa tour itinerary

Both ferries of the public service and private motorboats leave from Stresa or Baveno. • We'll spend about 1 hr and a half on Isola Madre, visiting a luxuriant English-style botanical garden and the villa in the middle of it. • On tiny Isola Pescatori, we'll visit the church and the village and we'll allow ourselves some free time for lunch and shopping. • Later we'll spend about 2 hrs on Isola Bella, visiting the wealthy baroque palace and its terraced gardens. Notes: - By booking this tour, you will only pay for my guiding, boat transportation is not included. This allows you to decide to use a private boat or the regular ferry. - The order of the visits may vary, according to weather conditions. - I can create a customized tour for you in case of special requests or you're more than 4 people.
