What To Expect

Isola Bella

Isola Bella is one of the jewels of Lake Maggiore, renowned for its stunning Baroque palace and elegant Italian-style gardens. Transformed in the 17th century by the Borromeo family, the island is a remarkable example of architecture and landscape in perfect harmony. The Borromeo Palace, with its lavish frescoed rooms, antique furnishings, and opulent halls, tells the story of this noble dynasty. The highlight, however, is the series of terraced gardens spread over ten levels, adorned with statues, fountains, rare plants, and graceful white peacocks roaming freely. Every corner of the island offers breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Isola Bella invites visitors to slow down and enjoy its blend of art, history, and nature. Easily reached by boat, it is a must-see destination for anyone exploring Lake Maggiore.

Isola Pescatori

Isola dei Pescatori, or Fishermen’s Island, is the most traditional and picturesque of the Borromean Islands on Lake Maggiore. Unlike its more ornate neighbors, this island retains the charm of a historic fishing village, with narrow winding lanes, quaint houses, and a peaceful, authentic atmosphere. It is the only island to be permanently inhabited, and its name reflects its deep-rooted fishing heritage, which is still alive today. Visitors can stroll through the cobbled streets, browse local craft shops, or enjoy fresh lake fish in one of the many family-run restaurants with beautiful lakeside views. The island also features a small but charming church, San Vittore, dating back to the 11th century. With its unique character, Isola dei Pescatori offers a glimpse into the region’s past and a tranquil escape from the bustle of modern life. A visit here pairs perfectly with nearby Isola Bella or Isola Madre.
