Activities on the Borromean Islands

With its clear waters, verdant mountains, and charming cottages, the stunning vistas of Lake Maggiore will accompany you during the boat ride. Upon reaching your selected islands, you'll have ample time to discover them at your own pace.

The Borromean Archipelago comprises three small islands: Isola Madre, Isola Bella, and Isola dei Pescatori. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate Isola Madre, famed for its botanical garden and the historic Palazzo Borromeo.
