Isola Bella Boat Tour

With bella as its namesake, you can be sure that this is the most beautiful of the Borromean islands. After you've been picked up from Stresa, you'll be whisked across the placid waters of Lake Maggiore to an island where ancient gardens and a sumptuous palace await. * When you arrive, the island is yours to explore: visit Palazzo Borromeo and the 17th-century gardens – including the impressive outdoor structure Teatro Massimo; visit grottoes that were made to escape from the heat, admire ancient art, and indulge in life's finer things.
