Regions at a Glance
Lake Maggiore & Around
Lakeside Luxury
Lake Maggiore's reputation for elegance is well earned, with an A-list portfolio of villas
(many of them upmarket hotels) around Stresa and Verbania, and expansive gardens where
white peacocks wander around Renaissance palaces.
Panoramic Perches
For unforgettable views whiz up Monte Mottarone in the cable car from Stresa or the fu-
niculars that travel high above Locarno.
Water Palaces
Isola Madre and Isola Bella are home to extravagant palaces, while Isola Superiore feels
like the island time forgot. Put them together and you've a memorable day out. Away to the
west, don't miss Isola San Giulio on Lake Orta.
