The three Borromean Island
Diamonds on the water
The Borromean Islands, named after the noble Borromeo family who owns them, are undoubtedly the crowning jewels of Lake Maggiore. Suspended between water and sky, between dream and reality, they have inspired poets and writers, artists and intellectuals for centuries. They have been a reference point for aristocratic families, important travelers, and simple dreamers alike.
Villa Taranto Gardens
Scents, colors, and enchantment
Considered among the most beautiful gardens in the world, Villa Taranto is a place where native and exotic plants coexist in perfect harmony. These gardens are the realization of the dream of a Scottish captain who, on the shores of Lake Maggiore in Pallanza, on the Castagnola hill, found the perfect spot to create his marvellous garden. A unique oasis, that still today offers its visitors an unforgettable spectacle of scents and colours.
The Hermitage of Santa Caterina Del Sasso
Art, culture and spirituality
The Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso is undoubtedly one of the most enchanting places on Lake Maggiore. Perched on a cliff overlooking the lake, it appears suspended between water and sky, offering visitors unique panoramic views.
The Rocca of Angera
Timeless charm
Perched atop a hill overlooking the southern basin of Lake Maggiore, the Rocca rises majestically, offering extraordinary views and a fascinating journey into the Middle Ages.
