Discovering the Borromean Islands

The Borromean Islands are an unmissable destination for all those who want to spend magical moments on the waters of Lake Maggiore. Our staff is pleased to offer you a special guided tour of these wonderful places.

Isola Bella, the true pride of the Borromeo Gulf, is dominated by its Baroque palace and a 37-metre-high Italian-style garden where exotic plants and rare specimens can be admired. Isola Madre, on the other hand, houses an immense English-style garden, populated by exotic and precious botanical species as well as peacocks, parrots and free-roaming pheasants. Lastly, Isola Superiore - or Fishermen's Island - is the most characteristic island of the archipelago, the only one still permanently inhabited.
