Location: Stresa, Piedmont

Stresa is undoubtedly the most internationally known location on Lake Maggiore, one of the most visited tourist destinations in the entire Piedmont region. A city that is lake, mountains, and sky, that is history and culture. Stresa is a city to discover in every corner and landscape, without haste. Walk through it, listen to it, admire it, and breathe it in. Choosing Stresa means loving the details. Learn to discover it by walking its streets and hiking the heights to admire it from above. A visit to the splendid Borromean Islands, which rise right in front of Stresa, will lead you to discover enchanted and fairy-tale places, buildings, and gardens emerging from the water, surrounded by mountains. Isola Bella, with its gardens and baroque charm; Isola Madre with its lush vegetation, and Isola dei Pescatori, inhabited all year round, the smallest and rich with small hotels and typical restaurants. The magnificent Villa Pallavicino, the splendid 19th-century villa that descends from the hill to the lake and was transformed into a zoological garden in 1956, is not to be missed; you will be transported to another era and another world, made of fairy-tale animals and incredible flowers. Stresa also offers a wonderful lakeside promenade and a beautiful historic center animated by charming bars, patisseries (have you ever tasted the Margheritine of Stresa?), and typical restaurants. But Stresa also means appreciating art, cinema, and music, which find their best expression here in an internationally renowned festival that attracts tourists from all over the world during the summer. For nature lovers, Stresa and the surrounding mountains offer a varied and beautiful territory where you can practice all kinds of activities and sports, whether on land, water, or in the air. The municipality of Stresa includes some hilly and mountainous territories: first among them, Mottarone, a mountain about 1500m high that becomes a ski resort in winter and offers beautiful trekking walks in summer, interesting mountain bike trails, and also thrilling emotions with Alpyland, a roller coaster with two-seater carts overhanging the Borromean Gulf. The eastern slope, on the other hand, hosts the Alpinia botanical garden, where many botanical species typical of the alpine and subalpine belt can be found. The variety of places, scents, and colors, and the exceptionally mild climate is what makes this corner of Lake Maggiore so special. A rare and precious richness in which to immerse oneself to return home filled with beauty and magic.
