Stresa To the tourist, who for the first time arrives in Stresa, a
breathless sight is offered. At the beginning a superb window of the
lake front, delineated with lines of palm trees, with flourishing
gardens and facades of majestic hotels. Then, turning to look at the
lake, enchanted, as if emerged from the same waters the spectacular
Borromean Islands (Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola dei Pescatori). It
is enough the splendor of these visions to make one understand how
Stresa has been able to become one of the maximum meetings of
international tourism. This guide covers the Lake Maggiore, and the town
of Stresa in addition to the one-day trips you can make from one of
these towns to the Borromean Islands, the Angera castle, Santa Caterina
del Sasso, Locarno, Mottarone, Villa Taranto and the Centovalli railway.
It also covers Nature Parks and Wilderness Areas near the lake.
