Lake Maggiore
Maggiore is a
magical glacial lake anchoring the mountains that approach the
Italian Alps. Smaller than its cosmopolitan cousin, Lake Maggiore
has a more quiet and laid back allure. The lake features the
three Borromeo islands, named for the noble Borromeo family who
lovingly turned them into magical retreats with elaborate villas and
lovely gardens.
