7 The Borromean Gulf forms Lake Maggiore's most beautiful corner, and the Borromean
Islands harbour its most spectacular sights: the privately owned palaces of the Borromei
family. On Isola Bella, the grandiose Palazzo Borromeo ( Click here ) presides over 10 tiers
of terraced gardens and a shell-encrusted grotto, while on Isola Madre ( Click here ) white
peacocks stalk English-style gardens around an older family residence complete with a
neoclassical puppet theatre designed by La Scala's set designer.
