programme
DAY 1
Arrival Stresa and transfer by motorboat to reach Isola Bella; the romantic and unique setting of the Boutique Hotel Elvezia. Free time at disposal to visit the Borromeo Palace with its majestic baroque garden, with ten terraces overlooking the lake. At the end of the day, when the sun sets and the last boat departs, the island changes appearance: silence falls and in the quiet evening the voices are those of nature and the lights dance on the water's surface.. An informal dinner at Ristolounge Elvezia on the island awaits.
Overnight stay.
DAY 2
Enjoy breakfast on the terrace as the sun rises on the Borromean Gulf. Afterwards, transfer by boat to Isola Madre for a visit of the palace and lush botanical garden inhabited by peacocks, pheasants and other exotic birds. Next stop is Isola Pescatori with its old fisherman's village, narrow alleys and charming restaurants.
After lunch (at your own leisure) it's time for a relaxing afternoon at the Spa of 5-star Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées. Enjoy the indoor pool, Turkish bath, sauna and shiatzu chair.
Afterwards, dinner in the heart of Stresa before returning to Isola Bella.
Overnight stay.
DAY 3
Breakfast in the hotel and check-out. Before you say goodbye to Lake Maggiore we have time for a final visit to one of the most fascinating sights on Lake Maggiore; hermitage Santa Caterina del Sasso, clinging to a rock face like a balcony over the lake. The structure of the building is truly unique, the fusion of three chapels, originally built separately in three different eras. Art and history merge perfectly in this striking natural frame overlooking Stresa and the Borromean Gulf.
Back to Stresa and departure.
