  • Fantastic sunday trip to lago Maggiore and its small islands just in front of Stresa. We decided to purchase the tickets on line the day before in order to avoid queues once arriving at the islands...

  • We visited two of the islands: Pescatori and Isola Bella. We thought that it was too much to do 3 islands on a day and for sure this was the best choice since traveling with a kid. The boat trip to the islands is beautiful, at Pescatori we had lunch with a great view and Isola Bella is all about the beautiful palace and its gardens. The ticket costs 20 euro per adult, we thought it was worth it cause you get to see the inside of the palace and the gardens which on top have amazing views. Also the windows from the palace have beautiful views and it is stunningly decorated. Definitely a beautiful place to visit in Italy and shouldn't be missed if you are in the area.
  • Isola Bella is worth visiting! Definitely go to the palace and visit the Gardens . Id spend here most of the time. Isola dei pescatori has only shops and restaurants, but very cute. On the Isola Madre you cannot do anything if you don't buy a ticket to enter the house/Gardens and they don't tell you in advance. So either don't go or buy a combined ticket when you to to Isola bella.
  • Explore Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Islands by boat from Stresa. Admire the beautiful scenery of the lake and visit the superb panoramas of the islands.
  • One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Definitely a must - visit place.
  • Nothing so special as i thought
