Lake Maggiore Properties



Lake Maggiore is a magical glacial lake anchoring the mountains which step up into 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 and more than enough stunning scenery to fill a vacation.  There is excellent hiking in the Valle Grande and elsewhere, and equally excellent golfing with two golf courses nearby and more than seven within forty minutes' drive.

Tours in the area include Stresa, the Borromeo Islands, Brissago Islands, Arona, Villa Taranto with its botanical gardens and the Cannero Riviera.  A short drive gets you to the ferry launches in Belgirate, and romantic Lake Orta with Isola S.Giulio is only a short distance away.

The city of Stresa lies in a wonderful setting and offers the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées, and a fabulous variety of restaurants, cafés and shops.  Two swimming  pools are available in Stresa, as well as a tennis court, steam bath, sauna and hydro massage.  The city also offers a fabulous variety of restaurants, cafés and shops.
