Isola Bella and Fishermen's Island Discovery
Meet your Italy tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and begin the tour.
Visit Isola Bella, one of the Borromean Islands, which has always been one of Lake Maggiore's favourite visitor attractions. It should not be missed if you want unparalleled views of the lake and its surroundings.
Continue to the sumptuous Baroque palace and its luxuriant Italian-style garden. Many parts of the palace are open to visitors, including richly furnished rooms and opulent salons embellished with priceless artworks.
Proceed to the garden, full of flowers and exotic plants of great rarity, which thrive in the mild climate of the Borromean Gulf.
Spot the white peacocks that wander over the manicured lawns. Their grace adds to this enchanting spot.
Then enjoy time on Fishermen's Island, or Isola Pescatori, the most picturesque of the Borromean Islands as well as the only one to be permanently inhabited.
Explore the distinctive features of the ancient little village, with its narrow lanes and characteristic two-storey houses, whose long balconies were traditionally used for drying fish.
Admire the unmistakable skyline, punctuated by the pointed spire of the Church of San Vittore, which rises above the red roofs of the houses.
