Nestled among the pre-alpine mountain chain, the Lake Maggiore stretches between Switzerland and Italy for 65 kilometres. 

The area around the glacial lake enjoys a mild climate, and features a varied landscape that includes exotic gardens. The charm of the location has earned it a reputation that extends well beyond the Alps.
The 2 most well known islands on Lake Maggiore, Isola Bella and Isola Madre, have been the property of the large, wealthy, Italian Borromée family since the 16th century. The luxurious and exuberant architecture of Isola Bella has earned it the name “the Pearl of the Lake Maggiore”, while Isola Madre is used as a haven of peace by the Borromée family. Today, the beauty of Lake Maggiore and of its 2 islands attracts tourists from all over the world.
