3. Palazzo Borromeo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,890 reviews
In 1670 Count Vitaliano Borromeo decided to turn a rock awash in the middle of the lake into a “place of delights”. It took four centuries to complete this magnificent work that includes Palazzo Borromeo and its scenic gardens. The tour of the house is fascinating: the Throne and Queens rooms, the Napoleon's Room, the Gallery of General Berthier displaying a collection of 130 paintings. On a lower floor, six grottoes covered with pebbles, tufa rock, stucco and marble were designed to afford cool relief from summer heat. World famous, its baroque garden, with the Teatro Massimo at the centre, consists of ten terraces in the shape of a truncated pyramid. Visitors marvel at the sight of the monumental unicorn, the obelisks, the statues, the two towers and other architectural elements, as well as the mighty trees, like the camphor and citrus trees, and the collections of roses, rhododendrons and camellias.

We went at the end of august in the late afternoon. The boat trip is less than 10 minutes and already from the water, you can enjoy the beauty of the Isola Bella ( The Beautiful Island). The entry is €17 per person and you have to go through the Palazzo first before getting into the Garden. Isola Bella’s palazzo is like a baroque chest of wonders floating on the water. You will walk through beautifully furnished halls that afford incredible views of the lake and witness many renowned artists’ exclusive paintings, precious furniture, marbles, neo-classical stuccos, shining armors and Flemish tapestries made of silk and gold. The Italian garden with a baroque taste spreads on parterres and terraces placed at different heights and sprinkled with statues, obelisks, ageless stone stairs and balustrades. This results in an impressive view, displaying the power and magnificence of the noble house. Take your time and enjoy being sound rounded by the incredible beauty of Isola bella

This is a great wine and liquor store in Stresa. Reuben was very nice and accommodating. He gave our party of 4 an impromptu wine tasting. I must say he was rewarded as we purchased a lot of product including wine, balsamic, truffle butter, olive oil etc. Anyway, I highly recommend La Cambusa.
