- You arrive on your own in Stresa, on the shores of Lake Maggiore : a beautiful little town on the lake shore with majestic XIX century hotels, traditional narrow streets and Friday morning market.
Boat transfer to the fishing village island "Isola Pescatori" right on the famous Borromean islands and settle into your comfortable hotel and explore of the narrow streets of "Fishermen's Island". - Isola Pescatori is the smallest island, and the only one to be inhabited. This small village is made up of multi-storey dwellings, with long balconies used for drying fish, narrow alleys and the Church of San Vittore. There are no cars on the island, the only way to discover it is on foot. You can swim in the lake from the small pebble beach, next to the hotel.
