Lake Maggiore – For a true taste of the sublime, fabulous food and oodles of culture amidst jaw-dropping natural scenery
The second largest lake on the southern side of the Alps, Lake Maggiore epitomises the Mediterranean’s sense of tropical laid-back charm, fusing fascinating history with a soul-stirring backdrop and rich array of things to see and do.
Simply sit at one of the lakefront promenades and drink in those to-die-for views of the Alps, stunning wild vegetation and sun-reflecting waters as you lap up the local food and drink before meandering the picturesque cobbled streets. Drawing artists, poets, writers and royalty to its exquisite surrounds, Lake Maggiore is as inspiring to visitors today as it has been to the likes of Wagner, Verdi, Rossini and Hemingway, who were no doubt intoxicated by the heady scents of orange blossom and verbena alongside sweeping panoramas of Isola Bella and the Borromean Islands, otherwise known as the jewels of Lake Maggiore. Take the cable car or stroll to the nearby centre of Stresa, visit the hustle and bustle of neighbouring Baveno, whisk yourself away by boat to the breath-taking islands of Madre, Bella and Pescatori - or hop across the border to Switzerland for a wanderlust-satisfying adventure.
