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.
