The area
Lago
Maggiore is a magical glacial lake anchoring the mountains which lead
up to the Italian Alps. This is the heart of the 'Lakes District'
of Italy, an area with a noted northern influence blending beautifully
with all things Italian. This is an area devoted to being
outdoors on land or water, with plenty of small villages to
explore. There is excellent hiking in the Valle Grande and
elsewhere, and equally excellent golfing with two golf courses within
15 minutes by car.
Tours in the area
include Stresa, which offers many restaurants and shops and is
the setting for the renowned Grand hotel des Iles Borromées favored by
Hemingway and Mussolini. Other tour ideas include the
Borromeo Islands, Brissago Islands, Arona, Villa Taranto (botanical
gardens), and the Cannero Riviera. A ten minute drive takes one to the
ferry launches in Belgirate, while the romantic Lake Orta with Isola
S.Giulio is only fifteen minutes away by car.
