Lake Maggiore Tour with its Borromeo's Islands 

Surrounded by majestic mountains, elegant lakeside towns and historic villas, Lake Maggiore offers a refined blend of extraordinary landscapes, art and centuries-old heritage. Your journey begins with a private chauffeur-driven transfer from your hotel in Milan to Stresa, the elegant lakeside resort that has attracted aristocrats, artists and distinguished travellers for generations. Arrive in Stresa, beautifully positioned between the mountains and the sparkling waters of Lake Maggiore. Admire its grand nineteenth-century villas, elegant waterfront and historic gardens, while your private guide introduces you to the fascinating legacy of the Borromeo family, whose influence shaped the character of Stresa and the magnificent islands that lie just offshore. Board your private boat for an exclusive journey across Lake Maggiore and discover the celebrated Borromean Islands. Your first destination is Isola Bella, the undisputed jewel of the lake. Explore the magnificent Palazzo Borromeo, an extraordinary Baroque residence filled with works of art, period furnishings and historic treasures. Continue through its spectacular Italian-style terraced gardens, rising dramatically above the lake and offering breathtaking views across the surrounding landscape. The journey continues to Isola Madre, the largest of the Borromean Islands. Here, the atmosphere becomes more tranquil and intimate. Discover its remarkable botanical gardens, where exotic plants and centuries-old trees create an exceptional setting overlooking the lake. Your final stop is Isola Pescatori, the most atmospheric and authentic of the islands. Once home to generations of fishermen, the island retains its traditional character, with colourful houses, narrow lanes, intimate cafés and small local boutiques. Enjoy time at leisure on Isola Pescatori to savour a relaxed lunch overlooking the water, browse the local shops or simply enjoy the atmosphere of this unique island village.
After your island experience, your private boat will return you to Stresa, where your guide and private chauffeur will accompany you back to Milan in complete comfort.
