Luxury Lake Maggiore Holidays

Holidays in Lake Maggiore offer something for every taste; delicious food and wine, beautiful natural scenery and 19th Century palaces to name but a few. Located in the picturesque Southern Alps, Lake Maggiore is the second largest of the Italian lakes and treats its visitors to a beautiful Mediterranean climate. Its shores are peppered with quaint fishing villages, each of which has its own distinct character, boasting colourful buildings, harbours and architectural wonders. Couples and families alike will be drawn to the glamour of Lake Maggiore, where days can be spent relaxing in the sun, enjoying the food scene or exploring the cobbled streets of the nearby fishing villages.

A holiday at Lake Maggiore would not be complete without visiting the Borromean Islands, where awe inspiring botanical gardens, palaces and vanilla white houses are waiting to be discovered. Hop on a boat from the waterfront at Stresa and enjoy a day exploring these beautiful islands. And, on a Wednesday, be sure to visit the famous market in Luino, where local samples of fruit, cheese and other delights are waiting to be tasted.
