Island hopping, Italian-style
La dolce vita near Lago Maggiore
Italy’s most charming archipelago lies in the sparkling waters of Lago Maggiore. For centuries, the three Borromean Islands near Stresa have mainly been in the hands of the extremely wealthy Borromeo family. The general public are welcome to visit the islands, especially in autumn when it is quiet, to enjoy a peaceful stroll through the palaces and gardens.
