Itinerary

60 min

Set sail on this Borromean Gulf cruise and admire the area’s sights and scenery from the water. Pass by Isola Madre, Isola dei Pescatori, and Isola Bella. Marvel at the Borromeo Palace. Leave from Stresa towards Isola Madre, famous for its gardens with tropical blooms and for its villa that will leave you speechless. After having made a complete tour around the island, head towards the fishing village of Isola dei Pescatori (Fishermen's Island), the only island to be permanently inhabited all year round. Spot a set of ancient houses rich in history. Finish off your cruise with a tour of Isola Bella from the water. Sail around the Borromeo Palace and see the memorable gardens and terraces, where, if you are lucky, you will be able to see some white peacocks peeking out.

Shipping addict to forget

We were greeted by an employee at the ticket office of Santa Caterina very indeed quite rude, he did not want to give me info on costs and what ticket to buy, he kept saying: yes give it ok pay! Come on, all right, pay up! He responded badly and rudely bordering on teasing. 2 English tourists arrived and could not even say 2 words in English...very annoyed he replied: where are you going! Where you go! I have lived in LEGGIUNO for 30 years and I have never received such a service in Santa Caterina. Think tourists. And it's only 9.40.

Quick sightseeing boat trip

An interesting short boat trip on the lake, lasting about 1 hour Humerous pilot pointed out all the points of interest and history. We had a quick look at the 'Prosecco' large lakeside villa Definitely a worthwhile sortie Cannesdid .... surfingsyd

Italian Tour

When visiting scenic Lake Maggiore a good day tour is to take the sight seeing island tour of Isola Madre, Isola Superiore & Isola Bella...each island has special attractions & sights - plus good shopping & restaurants. Definitely worth taking a full day to plan for and experience.

Amazing views from the boat, both of the lake and islands on it. The scenery was as beautiful as it was stunning.

Wonderful!

We have been touring in November and the weather was superb! We had a perfect Italian lunch on Isola Bella. The sight of Matterhorn peak from the lake was breath-taking.
