Beauty awaits you.
From Stresa to the taste of infinity. A travelogue through the priceless treasures of Lake Maggiore.
The Borromean Islands
Right across from the hotel lies the magnificent Borromean Islands archipelago. Isola Bella captivates visitors with its Baroque palace and terraced gardens, where white peacocks roam freely.
Isola Madre, a veritable botanical garden on the water, and Isola Pescatori, the only one permanently inhabited, with its charming narrow alleys, perfect for a romantic dinner.
Culture & Tradition
Across the lake, Stresa hides gems of rare beauty. Villa Pallavicino Park offers 18 hectares of tree-lined avenues with centuries-old trees and an enchanting botanical garden, complete with a farm where animals roam freely.
Not far away, in Gignese, explore the local history at the Umbrella and Parasol Museum, a fascinating collection that showcases the craftsmanship rooted in the Alto Vergante region.
Mottarone
Towering above Stresa is the peak of Mottarone, renowned as one of Italy’s most beautiful scenic viewpoints. From here, you can admire the Alps—from Monviso to Monte Rosa—with a view that takes in no fewer than seven lakes.
The Castles of Cannero
Just a few kilometers from Stresa, the romantic Castles of Cannero rise from the waters of Lake Maggiore like a postcard from days gone by. These two small fortress islands, dating back to the 15th century, can be reached by boat and offer a setting of incomparable medieval charm.
The stretch of coastline from Stresa to Cannero offers spectacular scenery: quaint villages overlooking the water, fragrant olive groves, and views of the lake that change with every bend in the road.
