More information on Stresa e le Isole Borromee

Stresa's picturesque position at the foot of Mount Mottarone in front of the Borromeo islands has allowed Stresa to remain a favorite tourist destination on Lake Maggiore even after the Belle Epoque ended. The many conferences and 'Musical Weeks' (held each August and September) increase the fame of the town that was described in glowing terms by writers like Stendhal, Dickens and Byron. The lovely Borromean islands lie in the bay in front of Stresa. Isola Madre is a botanical island on the water, a home to rare plants, exotic flowers and many species of azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons that turn the island into an explosion of colors and fragrances in spring. In the center of the lake, the Isola dei Pescatori (Fishermen's Island) is a small village of alleyways with simple houses. Take a look at  the 17th-century church of San Vittore or visit the famous Isola Bella with its magnificent Baroque palace and its park, a masterpiece of Italian landscape gardening.
