Lago Maggiore

Apart from the northern part of Lago Maggiore, which belongs to Switzerland, the Italian provinces of Piedmont and Lombardy share the lake. Like almost all northern Italian lakes, it resembles a fjord that gently passes from the mountains of Ticino into the Mediterranean world of Italy. After his visit, Stendhal noticed: "About the Lago Maggiore can only be said that those who cannot warm up for him can be sorry for you". The Piedmontesian west bank in particular is rich in lush subtropical vegetation and magnificent villas and gardens. The islands that make the lake so appealing are upstream to the western bank. But not only famous places such as Arona, Belgirates, Baveno, Verbania and above all Stresa on the Borrome Golf are worth a trip to Lake Maggiore. Let us not forget the attractive surroundings with the Lago di Orta and Lago di Varese.

Vacation on Lake Maggiore

Stresa ...
The preferred location of Stresa at the entrance to the Borrome Gulf has contributed to the fact that one of the most luxurious spa locations was created here in the 19th century. The series of crowned heads who were here are hardly to be counted, and writers such as Flaubert, Dickens, Stendhal and Hemingway had no concerns to prices the stimuli of this place. The view over to the banks of Baveno, on the slopes of Monte Nudo and the Campo dei Fiori is simply exciting. And finally the three Borrome islands, which are among the most famous natural and cultural monuments in Italy.

Baveno ...
Has a long tradition as a resort and also as a thermal bath. It is picturesque opposite the Borrome islands and at the foot of Monte Camoscio. This mountain is known for its granite, which was used for such known buildings as the Basilica S. Paolo in Rome or the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.
