Famous for its colours and its scents,
Lake Maggiore offers the visitor a scenario whose beauty can be enjoyed
all year; the famous islands of the Borromeo Gulf, a tiny and picturesque
archipelago, seem to be painted in one of the most beautiful landscapes
in the world. The Isola Bella with its Borromeo Palace (XVII century),
surprises those arriving from the lake on account of its majestic and
almost unreal baroque setting. Its park, a masterpiece of Italian style
garden, is laid out on ten terraces that degrade down to the lake, while,
today, the palace houses a picture gallery that may be visited from
March to October. The Isola dei Pescatori is a picturesque village,
inhabited by a small community that still makes a living by fishing.
A maze of alleys will lead the visitor to discover the typical restaurants
and the traditional open air market. The Isola Madre is a botanical
garden on water, abounging in rare plants, exotic flowers and free-roaming
animals, thanks to the favorable micro climate, create on the island
the enchantment of a tropical green house.
