Lake Maggiore for Culture Lovers

The jewel-like islands facing Stresa, the Isole Borremeo, feature some of Lake Maggiore’s best-known sights. The Palazzo Borromeo is a beautiful 17th-century Baroque palace surrounded by a spectacular ten-tiered garden populated by peacocks. The nearby Isola Madre has another grand palace, Palazzo Madre, which has an intriguing collection of dolls and puppet theatres among its sumptuous furnishings and works of art.

Find a four-star hote further south on Lake Maggiore’s eastern shore near the imposing Medieval fortress of Rocca di Angera. It looks like something out of a fairy tale, and, aptly, is the home of a museum exhibiting more than 1,000 antique dolls and mechanical toys. Climb to the top of the castle for impressive views of the lake and mountains.

Luxury Shopping in Lake Maggiore

Leave your four-star hotel and pick up some local produce at one of the weekly open-air food markets held around Lake Maggiore. If you’re looking for chic Italian fashion, Stresa has independent boutiques as well as designer outlets nearby. Pick up trendy Italian homeware from Alessi’s flagship store in Omegna in Lake Orta. As Milan is so close to Lake Maggiore, it’s hard to resist the temptation to go shopping in Italy’s fashion capital.

Four-Star Eating in Lake Maggiore

With so many lakeside restaurants with large terraces, eating out in Lake Maggiore is pure romance. Either eat at your four-star hotel’s restaurant looking out over the shimmering lake waters and soaring mountains of both Piedmont and Lombardy. Tuck into plates of gnocchi with gorgonzola, or creamy truffle risotto with mushrooms. The region’s cured meats and salamis make delicious snacks for an aperitif, and some of Italy’s most robust wines come from vineyards near Lake Maggiore. Barolo is a perfect full-bodied accompaniment for the dishes on offer.
