Lake Maggiore

Lake Maggiore is one of Italy's most captivating destinations, where elegant lakeside towns, botanical gardens, mountain landscapes and crystal-clear waters come together to create unforgettable scenery. Staying at Residence Villa Maurice in the heart of Stresa places you within easy reach of the region's most iconic attractions.

Often referred to as the "Pearl of Lake Maggiore," Stresa is renowned for its beautiful lakefront promenade, Belle Époque villas, grand historic hotels and colourful gardens overlooking the water. It is the perfect starting point for discovering the beauty of the Borromean Gulf.

Just a short boat ride away lie the world-famous Borromean Islands. Isola Bella is celebrated for its magnificent Baroque palace and spectacular Italian gardens, while Isola Madre is home to one of Europe's finest botanical gardens, filled with exotic plants and rare flowers. The charming Isola dei Pescatori, the only permanently inhabited island of the archipelago, preserves the authentic atmosphere of a traditional fishing village.

Towering above Stresa is Mottarone, one of the area's most iconic mountains. From its summit, visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the Alps, Monte Rosa, the Po Valley and the region's seven lakes.

The surrounding area is equally rich in places to explore. Visit Arona, home to the impressive statue of Saint Charles Borromeo, discover the medieval fortress of Angera, stroll along the elegant waterfront of Baveno, or admire the world-renowned botanical gardens of Villa Taranto in Verbania.

Whether you're looking for culture, outdoor adventures, romantic scenery or authentic Italian charm, Lake Maggiore offers unforgettable experiences in every season.
