The Borromean Islands by private boat: Isola Bella,
Isola Madre and Isola Pescatori. Situated on the
western side of Lake Maggiore, directly opposite
Stresa, the three Borromean Islands lie in a wide
gulf surrounded by mountains.
39
The islands take their name from the aristocratic
Borromean family, who took ownership of the land
in the 16th and 17th centuries. Only the best architects and gardeners were called on by the famous members of the family-themselves art lovers
and botanists-to breathe life into their ambitious
projects. The islands of Bella and Madre were transformed into grand, luxurious residences, while the
third island, named “dei Pescatori” after its age-old
fishing community, was left to continue its traditional way of life.
Despite their alpine setting, the three Borromean
Islands share a pleasant climate, but each offers a
very different experience. Isola Bella was completely transformed by its occupants, and its palace and
gardens are the epitome of opulence and luxury. In
contrast, the Isola dei Pescatori, with its village unchanged by time, offers a fascinating simplicity. Finally, the exotic atmosphere of the lush and tranquil
Isola Madre can be ascribed to the gardens that
almost totally cover it. Overnight at hotel
Day 08: Lake Maggiore - Milan Airport
