Maggiore, Como and Garda are the three most famous lakes
and have been popular with International visitors for centuries.
Renaissance villas, castles and beautiful gardens are a reminder of
the times when the lakes were the playground of the European
elite.
Lake
Maggiore
is the second largest lake which winds majestically between
Lombardy and Piedmont. This area benefits from being within
easy reach of three airports; Bergamo, Milan Malpensa and Milan
Linate.
Good food, a relaxed lifestyle and warm summers make it a
destination that's perfect for a lake holiday in Italy. There are a
number of lovely resorts along the lake, such as Stresa, Verbania,
Ghiffa and Baveno, which have breathtaking views and are surrounded
by lush gardens and tree lined roads.

Stresa is a lovely town with beautiful villas,
gardens, cobbled streets and old squares. From the town you can
take a cable car up to Monte Mottarone where at 4,000 ft you can
enjoy views of the Alps. From the hillside villages of the lake,
many properties benefit from jaw-dropping views over the lake and
of the Borromeo Islands which are also
magnificent.
There is a wealth of activities on offer on the lake from
