Your Destination —
In the north of Italy you will find a string of narrow, glacial lakes set magnificently between alpine foothills, straddled by the border of Switzerland - a place of such exquisite natural beauty that you will wonder why you have not been before.
The most famous lakes in Italy’s Lake District, from west to east, are Lake Maggiore, Lake Como and Lake Garda, each beautiful in their own right. Imagine vistas of crystal blue waters shining silky-smooth in the sun, set against plummeting alpine mountains and dotted with sleepy cobblestone villages - then you will have some idea of the Italy that will steal your heart.
Sail past the charming stone cottages with their balconies resting over the blue lake waters and the monasteries clinging to the lake-side rock. Wander through the narrow alleyways of the rustic villages, taste divine Italian ice-cream in the secluded gardens or sit beside the lake and marvel at the jaw-dropping views set against the exotic flora. This spectacular destination is one of Italy’s jewels and its abundant natural beauty will stay with you forever.

Head to your hotel accommodation at Hotel Ghiffa. We suggest, along with this route, visiting Arona and Vercelli known for their rice cultivation. Overnight at the hotel.
You have a full day to visit Lake Maggiore. Here the good weather throughout the year favours a typical Mediterranean background. From Stresa, you can reach the beautiful examples of Italian gardens of "Isole Borromeo" (Isola Madre and Isola Bella). Along the lake, towards Pallanza, near Punta Castagnola, you will find Villa Taranto, famous for its beautiful park. Overnight at the hotel.
Take your time in this area and make sure you explore all the delights of the lake. Lake Iseo is the fourth largest lake in Lombardy near the cities of Brescia and Bergamo. It is Italy's well-kept secret and welcomes guests to visit the towns with medieval origins where they can shop or relax in one of the squares. Something not to be missed on a trip here is the Monte Isola island which hosts 11 small communities and is easy to reach by boat from the nearby towns. This island is picturesque and perfect for a charming afternoon stroll. This lake is the ideal space to explore for those wishing to venture a little off the beaten track and enjoy peaceful moments in natural scenery. Return to hotel for an overnight stay.
