The experience

Palace terraces rising above the water, a fishing island’s narrow lanes and a hermitage sheltered against the cliff — discover the changing character of Lake Maggiore on a private journey through the Borromean Gulf. With your own guide and a boat at your disposal, enjoy the scenery between places as much as the discoveries ashore.

Depart from Stresa, taking in views of Isola Madre before arriving at Isola Bella. Explore Palazzo Borromeo’s richly decorated rooms, then step into its extraordinary terraced gardens, where sculptures, fountains and planting frame views across the lake.

At Isola dei Pescatori, the atmosphere becomes more intimate. Stroll through lanes lined with traditional houses, browse small shops and enjoy free time for lunch, soaking up the character of island life.

Continue across the lake to Santa Caterina del Sasso. Approaching from the water reveals the remarkable setting of this historic religious complex, clinging to the rocky shore. Explore with your guide, discovering its stories and quiet beauty before returning to Stresa by boat — a final chance to savour the landscape after a day of contrasting lakeside pleasures.
