With just a few other neighbours sharing the shoreline here, the atmosphere is truly tranquil. And yet a small town full of amenities is just a 15-minute walk away. The lake and mountain views from Villa Meraviglia's lush gardens are the perfect backdrop to any outdoor occasion. Whether that's enjoying pre-dinner drinks, meal or simply a dip in the swimming pool. You can reach the water and small pebble beach from the bottom of the terraced gardens and be lake swimming in no time at all. Villa Meraviglia impresses with its space and unique personality over various levels. It offers comfortable accommodation for up to eight people in four characterful bedrooms; making it ideal for a special family holiday. One of the great highlights is the master suite on the garden level with its sumptuous round bed, jacuzzi tub with lake views and sliding doors leading out to the swimming pool with yet more incredible vistas. Also indulgent is the choice of indoor and outdoor living spaces in which to relax, unwind and dine. Perhaps your favourite area will be the sociable living/dining room with wood-beamed ceilings and a cosy upstairs nook for post-dinner drinks around the open fireplace.

  • Lake Maggiore and Islands
    Lake Maggiore and Islands Private boat tour to discover the Borromean Islands in Lake Maggiore: Isola Bella, Isola Madre, Isola dei Pescatori Lake Como 1 ND Private Lake Maggiore and Islands by private boat Borromean Islands: Isola Bella, Isola Madre, Isola dei Pescatori Lake Maggiore and Islands is a private tour give you the opportunity to discover an other big lake of the region, the ”Verbano”. Via private round trip transportation you will reach Stresa, where you will meet your private licensed guide. After a short visit of the beautiful Piedmont town of Stresa, you will get onboard a private boat and you will start the tour of beautiful and elegant Borromean Islands. Isola Madre Isola Madre is the largest of the islands on Lake Maggiore and its history is bound to the Borromeo family since 1502. Borromeo family worked to create a place of delights and a private residence. The island started to look like a English-style garden with rare plants and exotic flowers even from every continent in the world. Borromeo family entrusted the direction of the works on the palazzo to Pellegrino Tibaldi, a very notorious architect. At the end of 1700 the island appeared just like today, a place of peace and rest thanks to a mild weather and a luxurious nature. Later were built several greenhouses along with the family chapel. The name Madre, still in use, comes from the historical supremacy of the island in Verbano and also, it is said, from the benevolent mood of the mother of Earl Renato Borromeo, Margherita Trivulzio.

  • Inghams Guide and Insights to Lake Maggiore
    Inghams guide and insights to Lake Maggiore Introduction to Lake Maggiore Lake Maggiore’s rich and colourful past seems ever present as you explore and enjoy this spectacular lake with shores bordered with lush Mediterranean vegetation, and the backdrop of the Alps in the distance. Ever since Napoleon built the Simplon highway from Geneva to Milan, which ran to the shores of Lake Maggiore, it became part of the Grand Tour, a haven for Europeans and British pioneers. Seduced by its Mediterranean climate, they built imposing villas and beautiful gardens attracting aristocrats, poets, writers and composers of the time. It was the setting for Ernest Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms” and it is easy to imagine his heroes fleeing from the Italian police in a rowing boat, trying to reach the Swiss border of the lake. Kings and Queens, writers, poets and composers such as Verdi, Wagner and Rossini have enjoyed the same panoramic views, nearby islands, exquisite botanical gardens, woodlands and tranquility that exist today. Lake Maggiore is the second largest lake on the south side of the Alps. The west bank is in the Italian region of Piedmont and the right in Lombardy. In the north Lake Maggiore crosses the Swiss border into the canton of Ticino. It is 65 km long and 10 km across at its widest point between Pallanza and Stresa. In spring and early summer the shores are lined with oleander and the scent of orange blossom pervades. Ever present are the magnificent palm trees and the heavenly scent of verbena. Across from Lake Maggiore lie the Borromean Islands and Isola Bella.

  • Lake Maggiore the Italian Lakes - Maggiore and Orta
    Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [email protected] Lake Maggiore The Italian Lakes - Maggiore and Orta https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/lake-maggiore/ page 1/10 Route Summary At a glance Lake Maggiore 7 night option (the full walk). Add extra nights on Isola Pescatori or at Orta to enjoy each lake to the full, or on the top of the mountain (Mottarone). This walk has some short walks that can easily be condensed so if you're looking for a more challenging walk, please see our shorter options. How much walking? Full days: 9½-18km per day, 3½-5¾ hrs walking Using shortening options: The Stresa (Carciano) funicular (closed 2021 until further notice) could be used to avoid the walk to Gignese or to Mottarone. No other feasible shortening options (other than to miss whole days) Max. Grade: This walk – On Foot’s first in the Italian Lakes – brings the glory of the Alps to walkers of modest abilities. The area was the first Italian stop on the Grand Tour, and the resorts around Lake Maggiore developed early in a style pleasing to the eye. The three Borromean islands, notable for their gardens, are worth an extra day exploring via the frequent public ferries linking them. Route Highlights ● The islands of Lake Maggiore – Pescatori, Bella and Madre ● Taking the ferry around Lake Maggiore ● The hike up to Mottarone ● Dining in a mountain-top hotel ● The chapels of Sacro Monte ● Orta San Giulio and the convent on the island ● A walk around Lake Orta We Recommend Extra nights at the start and finish to appreciate the lakes, and time in Orta to really explore the 20 chapels of Sacro Monte.
