day 2

MAGGIORE LAKE

Start your day with a delightful breakfast at the hotel before we embark on a journey to explore Lake Maggiore, the westernmost of the three large pre-Alpine lakes. The lake's mild climate, prevalent throughout the year, has nurtured a Mediterranean-type vegetation, with exotic plants adorning the gardens. Our adventure begins in Stresa, from where we'll set sail to the Borromeo islands (Isola Madre and Isola Bella). Here, we'll marvel at the Borromeo residences, home to invaluable art pieces and lush gardens that epitomize the classic Italian garden of the era. After our island exploration, we suggest a leisurely stroll along the lakeside towards Pallanza and Intra. At the Punta della Castagnola, you'll find the stunning Villa Taranto and its breathtaking park. Spanning over 20 hectares, the park features scenic avenues, cascading waterfalls, ornate fountains, and panoramic terraces. After a day filled with exploration and discovery, unwind with an overnight stay at the hotel.

Not only is it renowned for its captivating location, but also for its exquisite botanical garden. This magnificent villa, dating back to the 1600s, was constructed by Giorgio Clerici. Inside, you'll be amazed by the intricate sculptures by Canova that still grace the Italian gardens surrounding the villa. The botanical garden is a sight to behold with as many as 150 different species of azaleas. After a day filled with awe-inspiring sights, we'll return to the hotel for a restful night's sleep.

From this vantage point, you can marvel at not just Lake Garda, but the entire Serle area.
