Nice place, a little bit expensive but if you a hobby photographer it’s like a small heaven for you

Beautiful Gardens. Palace is also a good walk thru with few interesting rooms. Not much info written on the signs.

Beau palais avec de belles oeuvres, collection de poupées anciennes de tous pays. Très beau jardin bien entretenu. Oiseaux paons (Translated by Google) Beautiful palace with beautiful works, collection of old dolls from all countries. Very beautiful, well-kept garden. Peacock birds

Be aware: Your ferry ticket will not cover the palace and gardens. These cost an additional 13€ per person. That said, the gardens make for a lovely walk, and the peacocks are a delightful addition. They're friendly enough to approach crowds (and we sat beside one as we enjoyed a drink at the cafe.) The path is often steep however, and contains a large number of stairs, which might cause difficulties for some visitors. Also, the palace is littered with crude waxworks dummies, which made it more like a House of Horrors than a museum.

very impressive 16-17 century villa, lots of puppets and painting and nice rooms. 20 min, and the gardens are nice as well 1h approx

Amazing mansion on the Madre island. Huge amount of art works is on display along with some 19th century room decorations. Very cool to look at and looks very period correct.

Fascinating history of this splendid palazzo, packed full of memorabilia. The puppets were amazing. What a collection. Surrounded by lush green gardens with white peacocks strolling around. The artwork was however dull and depressing

Moins visitée que les autres îles c'est pourtant la plus belle, notamment pour son jardin. En effet, il abrite de nombreuses essences dont beaucoup d' exotiques. Il y a toujours des plantes en fleurs qui subliment le cadre. Le palais n'est pas aussi imposant que celui de l'Isola Madre mais est intéressant. La visite peut se faire en 1h30 mais mieux vaut compter 2h00. Peu de restauration sur l'île mais on peut facilement pique niquer dans dans le parc. (Translated by Google) Less visited than the other islands, it is nevertheless the most beautiful, particularly for its garden. Indeed, it is home to numerous species, many of which are exotic. There are always flowering plants that enhance the setting. The palace is not as imposing as that of Isola Madre but is interesting. The visit can be done in 1h30 but it is better to allow 2h00. Few restaurants on the island but you can easily picnic in the park.

This place is of timeless beauty, it is extraordinary and absolutely deserves to be visited. Pause to read next to each exhibited object, you will be captured by the details that at first sight the eye cannot focus. On the effigy of the Borromeo we read "humulitas", it certainly makes a little smile, in all my life I have never seen so much pomp. Very beautifull! Strongly recommended.

If you are fortunate and get to vist Lago Maggiore an hour north of Milano Italy via train or driving, make sure not to miss Isola Madre! This beatuful island has extrodinary gardens, a nice resturant (see my review) and a stunning villa. Palazzo dell'Isola Madre is one of my favorite places on the lake. In 1014, Emperor Henry II granted the island to the nuns of the monastery of San Felice of Pavia. Lancellotto Borromeo married the daughter of the Doge of Genoa, Luisa Adorno and purchased the island in 1501 from the church and introduced the cultivation of citrus fruit to the island, the plants being brought from Liguria, along with a gardener to tend them. Lancillotto began the construction of the family residence on the island, which in the 1580s was extended in the Renaissance style by Renato Borromeo. Among their many visitors have been Napoleon Bonaparte, Gustave Flaubert, and Théophile Gautier. To make the most our of your visit, I strongly recomend getting a private guide. We were blessed to have Sandra as our guide, she spoke english and italian. She was really amazing!

Worth the visit! We visited Palazzo Boromeo on our half-day tour of the Borromean islands. We bought a ferry ticket dockside in Stresa for 2 islands (Isola Madre and Isola Pescatore). I really liked this palace for three reasons. 1) It felt lived in and loved by its inhabitants. There were tableaux with furnishings, paintings and statues of men and women dressed in typical aristocratic clothes of the day. It wasn't glamorous or gilded everywhere ~ that kind of opulence is what you'll find on Isola Bella, should you decide to go there. 2) There is an extensive puppet theatre exhibit in a wing of the palace. At least 6 rooms are devoted to the puppets, scenery and costumes from their theatrical productions. I felt this was truly unique and unexpected. 3) The magnificent Cypress from Kashmir. The tree was restored to standing after a struck down during a storm. Also, the botanical gardens are lovely, and the peacocks and pheasants who make their home on the grounds.

Awesome view, if you are in stresa, you have to visit this mountain. Price for the cablecar is 20€, first stop in alpino at 800meters. On a higher level there is mottarone 1400meter. Than you have to take a skilift to the top, the view is truelly amazing. Go over and play those 20€. Be on time, the parking spots at the BASE are filled in no time...

Really beautiful views! We took our 18m up and she loved it. On the chair lift we put her in a baby carrier so she couldn’t fall off and it was fine. Choose a clear day and take a jacket as it’s a little colder up there

You can see different scenery by making the cable car. All the way to the top of the Snow Mountain, the scenery along the way is also very very beautiful. No matter what angle you shoot, you can take photos that you are satisfied with. And this process can also take black and white photos I like.

The ride had recently reopened after refurbishment and you could see that they had made a big investment and safety improvements. The view from the top is magnificent people may moan about aerials but they still use the technology. Had a great ride and was good value.

The view to the top of the mountain is breathtaking, especially during winter sunset. I would definitely recommend. You can park a car near.

nice gondola that takes about 30 minutes to go up. at the top there's one more that is included in the price. but still the prices are a little high, 19€ per person and no discount for students...

Well worth a trip up to the top with spectacular views on a clear day.. Take a jacket for the cooler days though embrace your experience like the rest of Italy!

Even though it was rainy, the Mottarone Cable Car was a must-do! Find the ticket building on the waterfront in Stresa and get your tickets. The ride makes a half way stop to change cars. If you get off in Alpino, there is a botanical garden to tour at an extra charge. If you ride to the top there is not much to in the off-season, but the 360-degree view of Stresa and Lake Maggiore going up and down is spectacular. Ride in the part of the car facing the lake for these views. Rides leave about every 10-minutes It is cold and windy at the top so dress for this.

It’s fun to see the animals and be able to pet some of them. The majority of the animals are rescued and not able to live in the wilderness again due to their condition, so they’re taking care of them. The gardens are very beautiful and well taken care of. The bathrooms could have a little update.

Very beautiful location. Amazing view of the lake. Animals are a delight here. Those with kids should definitely come here and spend a nice noon. There is a cafeteria for small snakcs with free roaming peacocks and also a play area for kids.

Nice experience with toddlers with the nice landscape gardening and animals. Remember to pack the lunch and do a picnic with the kids and wear comfortable shoes. Oh ya...the one who sells tickets should smile more and be more polite in explaining!

I expected better. Great location, unique setting, incredible gardens, marvelous views. Entry ticket fair, however the playground was closed. With a kid, a discount could have been offered, or at least we could have been warned at the ticket booth. The paths are not stroller friendly, in few instances I had to ask for help to carry the pram. Also paths are very steep, including the 'supposedly' pram friendly path from the farm. The website pictures a place with happy animals free to walk around. The reality is that majority of animals are caged. Was particularly sad to see the Kookaburra, lonely and skinny in a small cage. What is that Australian bird doing there?!? They love having company, but this was all alone. Also the small Wallabies, zebra, cicogne, etc. But the Kookaburra really touch my heart. Lei him free. They are really easy to domesticate and come back for food. Let him free. It's a zoo. Not a zoo Safari.

Really beautiful park in Stresa. Worth a visit with the family. Although the price is slightly steep. The park itself feels like a forest and the highlight for our kids was the petting Zoo. It's a bit of a walk from the center of town but worth the visit if you have a few days in the town.

Nice walk through the Park. Fabulous view over the lake. The park is very well maintained. You can easily spend 2 hours walking around. The Villa itself seems not to be inhabited any longer. Entrance fee is 12€ per adult.

Great gardens (nice and fresh in the hot summer) with plenty of animals as well so nice combination for the kids (birds, goats, lamas, and even zebras or flamingos).

Really enjoyed our visit here. There is free parking right in front of the park for guests. There is a lot of uphill walking and some stairs so be sure to wear the right shoes. The animals were very cute and a great place to bring children.

Impressive gardens with old stately trees . Disappointing though as the home was closed to the public . A large ' petting zoo ' with baby goats and such keeps children amused but unless you are a parent it's a fair yawn . At €15 each adult it's fairly expensive for what it is though I suspect that later in the year the floral displays may make this a worthwhile expense . Don't visit during school vacation times , the masses of unruly children will ruin any peace and serenity you may be seeking .

Nice place. Loved the farmyard area, especially during feeding! Gardens weren't up to the standard of, say, Villa Taranto, but nevertheless a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. And no ferry needed to get there! Also a few minutes walk from the Love Beach for lunch and a round of mini-golf. Just had reservations about the sizes of some of the enclosures for the birds etc- would have felt happier if they hadn't been there at all....

Beautifully kept gardens, with stunning views across the lake, plus the wild life, of course. Nice shady cafe , with freshly made sandwiches and pannini.

Amazing park/zoo/gardens with many different animals to play around with (perfect for kids). We stayed about 2 hours going around which seemed like the perfect amount. You first see the farm, then other animals and birds, then the beautiful flower gardens with the cafe and the kids area. You’ll need your covid-19 passport to enter. Free parking on site.

A lot of cute and beautiful animals and a beautiful garden. We spend 2 hours and saw most of the place.

Not worth for 5 Euros entry fee. You can get similar lake views from other places as well. There is nothing to see and do in the garden.

Beautiful botanical garden with a great view of Lago Maggiore and the Borromean Islands. The park is also suitable for wheelchair users. Dogs are not allowed.

Price is quite high for the place (5€ in November23) size and content. The view is fantastic but you can get it also from surrounding areas for free

Peaceful area with music playing throughout. Not many flowers and not included in the ticket price for cable car which we thought it was untill we got there and had to pay again. Nice view over the lake. Not worth the effort of the long distance from first cable car.

The ratings may be a bit unfair as this is an alpine garden and I went in June and the flowers were a bit sparse but the views are nice and the garden is pleasant with tranquil music coming from rock like speakers. To get to you need to take the cable car from Stresa to the first station and then it a 10 minutes walk to the gardens .

There isn't a lot to see, but it was pleasant to wander around on a hot day and to admire the views. One area, obviously newly created, was very attractive and wheelchair accessible. Other areas were less well looked after, and were a bit tatty. We spent about an hour in the garden in all.

Stopped here for a drink on the way down from Mottarone. Very friendly, relaxing spot. Gardens largely died back, early October.

Walked up from Stresa Lido to find garden closed. Weather very wet in morning but fine in afternoon. Closed due to bad weather sign. Don't go as unreliable.

Pleasant to walk around, peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful view out over the lake.

Hi… I write this knowing the chance it ends well is very low. I flew an fpv drone on August 2, 2023 with a take off near this RC spot and I lost the video signal while approaching the mountain with big rocks on the other side. The signal was becoming bad so I turned 180 degree to come back but the video was lost. I tried to make it back but I never saw the drone again. It’s a 3,5’ with a Go Pro 10 on it. If someone see it somewhere on this mountain, it would be a miracle… the controller was still receiving a signal when I was on the road near this RC place. If you find it, please tell me here Thank you

Beautiful view of the lakes and snowy mountains. It is possible to tour the trails in the area. We saw lots of cyclists. There are cool roller coasters at the top.

Took the toll road from Carpugnino for €10, and non toll road on our way home. Alpyland is worth a drive up, we had fun!

To get there, you will have to climb a hill. Walk towards the antennae and you will eventually see the tracks of Alpyland. Children of 5 years and over and between 1 meter and 1.20 meter need to be accompanied by an adult. Children 8 and over and over 1.20 meter can go on their own. Great ride with magnificent views.

A short but very enjoyable ride. Do ride at least twice - first to get a feel of the track and the second with less braking. You can purchase videos and photos of your ride. Take note that the photos can only be paid for with exact cash but the video - only by card. There is a chance that a video will not be made during your ride due to technical issues.

It’s amazing place, the wonderful landscape, the staff is very professional, the food is good and diverse, but you have precaution on the road because the street indication for arrival at Alpyland is poor.

Great experience on the mountain, such a great view! The rollercoaster is faster than you think. The price of 5€ per drive is just ok, but we had to wait for like 45 minutes.. But still, the view's so wonderful so it's definitely worth it.

This place alphland is on the top of the mountain. We drive there and it is convenient for the parking. But you could climb for a bit but it is not so hard. The ticket price is reasonable, better for a group of 4 or more people, will be a little bit discount. 5 adult and one child will be 23 euros. The staffs could improve their service, will be much appreciated.

I come here from hundreds of miles far just for taking the coaster. That is one hundred percentage worth! Depending on how you control the coaster, the adventure procedure period could be from 2 mins to 4 mins. I suggest do it in the highest speed. That will be very very exciting! After you reach the bottom, you and the coaster will be taken back to the top automatically. If you want to play multiple times, you buy the ticket for multiple courses. That is very convenient. I will visit here again in the future.

An hour wait for a 2 minutes ride. But the ride is fun and the views simply incredible over the lago Maggiore

Erg mooie kleine kerk. Zeer bijzondere beelden. Zeer fraaie plafond schildering. Zeker de moeite waard. (Translated by Google) Very nice little church. Very special images. Very nice ceiling painting. Well worth it.

Lovely small chuirch dating bcak to 1878 in the heart of the Island. We have organized many weddings on the Island. Verbano Evebts is the winner of the Italian wedding awards (the oscarsds of wedding planning) contact Verbano Events for your wedding on Lake Maggiore

The church is really small and it retains traces of an ancient chapel.

Waste of time except for the views outside. No exhibit was explained

Nice

I got married here

(Translated by Google) The beautiful church of San Vittore was initially dedicated to San Gandolfo, and dates back to the 11th century. It was enlarged in Gothic style and in 1627 it was dedicated to San Vittore. Inside there are sixteenth-century frescoes and a seventeenth-century main altar. To be seen (Original) La bella chiesetta di San Vittore inizialmente era dedicata a San Gandolfo, ed è risalente al XI secolo. Venne ampliata in stile gotico e nel 1627 fu dedicata a San Vittore. All'interno conserva affreschi cinquecenteschi e l'altare maggiore seicentesco. Da vedere

(Translated by Google) Small church dedicated to San Vittore, on Isola dei Pescatori, Lake Maggiore. It was originally built in stone in the 9th century, with an apse where the left side chapel is now located, the one with the Baptistery. Subsequently it was enlarged and modified in the plan by creating a new apse (where it is currently located). Internally it has a single nave surmounted by cross vaults, with side chapels; on the right, that of Santa Maria has the remains of frescoes dating back to the 16th century. Externally the entrance is preceded by a portico with a cross vault (Original) Piccola chiesa dedicata a San Vittore, sull'Isola dei Pescatori, lago Maggiore. Fu costruita originariamente nel IX secolo in pietra, con abside dove ora si trova la cappella laterale sinistra, quella con il Battistero. Successivamente fu ampliata e modificata nella planimetria realizzando una nuova abside (dove si trova attualmente). Internamente è a navata unica sormontata da volte a crociera, con cappelle laterali; a destra quella di Santa Maria presenta dei resti di affreschi databili al XVI secolo. Esternamente l'ingresso è anticipato da un portico con volta a crociera

Love this cafe for breakfast and snacks. Very accommodating of children, good service and great tasting coffee and pastries. We come by here regularly for our morning coffee and brioche. The place is always clean and well organised.

Lovely place for a coffee or tea and a small bite. Another Stresa favorite! Update May 4, 2022, still fantastico!

I loved the place as it was late when I arrived in Maggiore and they were still open. Nice food, very good drinks and very kind people! Very decent prices.

Warm welcome, friendly staff, lake views and the best "bitings" I have tasted in Stresa with my aperitivo this evening. Would highly recommend.

Breakfast and coffe here were really good. Nice friendly staff and a beautiful place

At first the service was ok, however the glasses had a really bad smell. When we asked them to change it, the waitress was extremelly rude. I couldn't understand her behaviour since it wasn't our fault at all.

Perfect for breakfast! The staff is very nice and they always have freshly baked croissants and pastries! Excellent non-dairy cappuccino!

11am Mass was charming

(Translated by Google) Behind the modest facade of the church there are three ancient altars, of which the one on the left is decorated with a canvas by Morazzone depicting the crucifix and Saints Carlo, Francesco and Antonio; the main altar, the one in the center, is surrounded by beautiful paintings by Lombard artists dedicated to St. Ambrose, and the altar on the right contains the remains of the little martyr St. Vitalian, who died in 260 at the age of ten months and twenty-eight days and is venerated as the protector of children. Even if this church, modest on the outside, is not the top 5 places in this beautiful resort town, I recommend visiting it. (Original) За скромным фасадом церкви находятся три старинных алтаря, из которых тот, что расположен слева украшен холстом Мораццоне с изображением распятия и святых Карло, Франческо и Антонио; основной алтарь, тот, что в центре, окружен прекрасными картинами ломбардских художников, посвященных святому Амвросию, а алтарь справа хранит останки маленького мученика Святого Виталиана, который умер в 260 году в возрасте десяти месяцев и двадцати восьми дней и почитается как защитник детей. Пусть, эта скромная снаружи церковь и не является топ-5 мест в этом красивом курортном городке, но посетить рекомендую.

(Translated by Google) Church right on the lakeside of Stresa... beautiful statues inside, really well done. Not too big. You can make offers and you will receive candles. The bells also ring every hour. Externally it is renovated and you can see that it is well kept... worth a visit if you pass by here (Original) Chiesa proprio sul lungolago di Stresa.. statue bellissime dentro , veramente fatta bene . Non troppo grossa . Si possono fare offerte e accederete candele . Le campane ogni ora suonano anche . Esternamente è rinnovata si vede che è tenuta bene .. da visitare se si passa di qui

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church right on Lake Maggiore. From the outside it looks rather inconspicuous, but from the inside it is, like every other church in Italy, a huge work of art. A must visit when visiting Stresa! (Original) Wunderschöne Kirche direkt am Lago Maggiore. Von außen wirkt sie eher unscheinbar, aber von Innen ist sie, wie jede andere Kirche in Italien, ein riesiger Kunstwerk. Unbedingt besuchen bei einem Besuch von Stresa!

(Translated by Google) The location is quite convenient, although to reach it by car you need to park in a paid square. The facade didn't seem anything special to me but the interior has more valuable elements. Unfortunately (I don't know who managed it all) I personally lost one star for "the display of nativity scenes from around the world": 7/8 nativity scenes of which we couldn't see much as they were in a side altar whose access is forbidden (Original) La posizione è piuttosto comoda, sebbene per raggiungerla in auto occorra parcheggiare in una piazza a pagamento. La facciata non mi è sembrata niente di particolare ma l'interno presenta elementi più pregevoli. Purtroppo (non so chi ha gestito il tutto) una stella personalmente la perde per "l'esposizione di presepi dal mondo": 7/8 presepi di cui non si è potuto vedere granché trovandosi in un altare laterale il cui accesso è interdetto

(Translated by Google) If you want a bit of meditation outside of mass it's impossible, they close the church immediately! I understand the prohibitions on taking photographs inside. (Original) Se si desidera un po di raccoglimento fuori dalla messa è impossibile, chiudono subito la chiesa! Comprendo i divieti di fare fotografie all'interno.

(Translated by Google) The church is beautiful but above all the sermon is heartfelt and participated, leaving mass something remains inside you unlike many other parishes where sermons are taken for granted... the parish priests should all be like this (Original) Bella la chiesa ma sopratutto la predica è sentita e partecipata, uscendo da messa ti rimane quslcosa dentro al contrario di molte altre parrocchie dove le prediche sono scontate... i parroci dovrebbero essere tutti così

(Translated by Google) Email requests do not receive a response. (Original) Richieste tramite Email non ricevono risposta.

Beautiful Alpes piedmont. Peaceful lake surrounded by sharp heaven reaching mountains. You can get in a ferry from many towns and enjoy the other side, whicheveris the other.... every little town have bars and quality restaurants...just pick any...

What a lovely views and place to visit.

Another beautiful part of Italy

This beautiful lake, second in size only to Garda lake, is a must see while traveling through northern Italy. The sceneries are varied and beautiful, the drive on the Piedmont side is the best: small villages, sinuous roads take you up to Switzerland, where the northern part ends. The opposite shores are in Lombardy, but aren’t as strikingly beautiful as the western coasts. Ancient villas belonging to ancient noble families as well as to rich entrepreneurs, as well as flourishing vegetation grace this side of the lake. It’s a one hour drive from Milan and truly worth reaching Arona or, further north, beautiful Stresa to catch a ferry boat that will take you anywhere you want, which in my opinion is the best way to appreciate its overwhelming beauty. The three Borromeo (an ancient local noble family) islands are a must to visit. Isola dei Pescatori, small, medieval. With shops, restaurants and some wild beach make it a lively place, overly crowded in the summer. April or May are the best months to visit. Isola Bella boasts a botanical garden and the ancient but well kept castle of the Borromeo family. Both the park and the castle can be visited through the year. The third island is to be avoided, as there’s nothing worth seeing. Near the pretty town of Arona, drive up to check out one of the tallest statues in Italy, dedicated to Saint Carlo Borromeo, an important religious character who dedicated his life to the poor and least fortunate during the 16th century plague, creating hospitals and caring centers to cure the sick and offer refuge and solace to the dying.

In the season of the ending summer you'll find a very commod climate. Not to hot in the daytime not too cold in the evening. For me its perfect.

An absolutely beautiful lake. Stayed in Arona which is also a gem. Highly recommend a visit.

One of the best place i ever visit The beauty and wonderful nature amazing

October morning view. Beautiful place. Possibilities for a long walk or bike ride around the lake. There are a little more people here on the weekend. But if you stand up, you won't regret it, and it's also magical. Similarly, later in the evening when everyone is having dinner somewhere, a walk or just sitting is very nice a beautiful to enjoy. Thank you Ticino for creating and care this place. Best regards, Josef IG:josef_on_the_road 👣🌍🤙🏽

Lake Maggiore is an absolute gem of nature's splendor! I had the privilege of visiting this breathtaking lake, and it left me utterly mesmerized. The beauty and grandeur of Lake Maggiore are beyond words and truly a sight to behold. The vast expanse of crystal-clear, azure waters nestled between picturesque mountains is a sight that instantly captivates the soul. The surrounding landscapes, adorned with lush greenery and charming villages, create a postcard-perfect setting that feels like something out of a fairy tale. One of the most enchanting aspects of Lake Maggiore is its ever-changing vistas. The play of sunlight on the water's surface creates a mesmerizing dance of colors, ranging from deep blues to shimmering silvers and golds, depending on the time of day. Watching the sunrise or sunset over the lake is an experience that will forever remain etched in my memory. Exploring the lakeside towns and islands is a delightful adventure in itself. Each spot exudes its unique charm, with quaint streets, historic buildings, and lovely gardens that add to the overall allure of the region. The Borromean Islands, in particular, are an absolute must-visit, with their ornate palaces and exotic gardens, transporting visitors to a realm of pure enchantment. Whether you're leisurely strolling along the lakeshore, taking a boat ride to explore hidden coves, or simply sitting by the water's edge, you'll find a profound sense of peace and serenity at Lake Maggiore. It's a place where time seems to slow down, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In summary, Lake Maggiore is a paradise on Earth that boasts unparalleled beauty. If you have the chance to visit this majestic lake, seize it without hesitation. It's an experience that will leave you in awe and rejuvenated, and you'll undoubtedly carry its beauty in your heart for a lifetime

A unique experience, dream landscapes, very sociable and kind people, I will always come back to spend holidays here with the greatest pleasure. Grazie mille e complimenti a tutti 🥰

This is a stunning lake, beautiful views from everywhere and the small islands certainly enhance the whole of it. Take a trip around the lake in one of the reasonably priced ferries , enjoy the commentary explaining which celebrities live where etc. We had a couple of wonderful days cruising around here and will hopefully come again another time. Highly recommended.

Chanced upon this beautiful poster landscape when we are searching for a nearby train ride from Rappenswill in cold white winter. 20mins before arrival we transited to an evergreen autumn vibes which were so inspiring lovely. Strolled down a short path by the lake but stayed long to capture every still bit of the sunshine layers over the cold calm ripples, backed by the majestic alps in snowcaps.

(Translated by Google) After visiting the Borromeo Palace with its magnificent park, we had some free time. The streets are hot and we decided to visit this temple, almost adjacent to the palace. The Church of San Vittore Martire was built in the Baroque style. in the 1770s on the site of an older Romanesque building, which Borromeo received in order to be able to demolish it and build his gardens on the site. I can’t say that I was delighted with the luxurious interior and exterior decoration, but if you have time, I recommend a visit. (Original) После осмотра дворца Борромео с великолепным парком у нас осталось свободное время. На улочках жарко и мы решили посетить этот храм, практически примыкающий к дворцу. Церковь Сан Витторе Мартире построена в стиле барокко. в 1770-х годах на месте более древнего романское здания, которое Борромео получил, чтобы иметь возможность его снести и построить на этом месте свои сады. Не могу сказать, что были восхищены роскошной внутренней и внешней отделкой, но если есть время рекомендую посетить.

(Translated by Google) (Gustave Flaubert, 1845) Historical sources indicate that in the mid-ninth century on the island there was a church with a square-plan apse (a building probably constituting the reference to the matrix of a Verbanese macro-pieve dedicated to S: Vittore), a cemetery (the memory of which is perpetuated in the so-called 'scale of the dead'); it is not excluded that a small military structure could also be built there, in analogy and assonance with the castrum of Sant'Angelo located on the Isolino di San Giovanni. It is known for certain that there were cultivations of olive trees, the production of which was perhaps used for sacred uses. In 1014 the emperor (Original) (Gustave Flaubert, 1845) Le fonti storiche indicano che nella metà del IX secolo sull'isola era presente la chiesa con abside a pianta quadra (edificio probabilmente costituente il riferimento alla matrice di una macropieve verbanese dedicata a S: Vittore), un cimitero (il cui ricordo si perpetua nella cosiddetta 'scala dei morti'); non si esclude che vi potesse sorgere anche un piccolo apprestamento militare, in analogia e assonanza con il castrum di Sant'Angelo sito sull'Isolino di San Giovanni. Per certo si sa che vi erano coltivazioni di ulivi, la cui produzione veniva forse impiegata per usi sacri Nel 1014 L'imperatore

Very kind and helpful, many languages spoken

I wonder if the lady behind the counter knew anything at all, as the answer to all of my questions was handing me useless leaflets with nothing about what I asked.

I was inside for less then a minute, but lady behind the counter was super impatient with me and couldn't wait until she could take another customer.

Kind with useful information

Great service.

Fantastic

(Translated by Google) Dolce Vita Bar Cafeteria A nice bar right on the lake and where the ships dock. This gives you that holiday feeling straight away. I could sit here for hours, try the fine drinks and watch the busy hustle and bustle of the boatmen and the ticket sellers. The drinks and the delicious appetizers are first class, the service is very friendly and prompt and the ambience is pure vacation. (Original) Dolce Vita Bar Cafeteria Eine schöne Bar direkt am See und Anlegestelle der Schiffe. So stellt sich das Feriengefühl sofort ein.

Die Drinks und die feinen Häppchen sind erste Sahne, die Bedienung sehr freundlich und speditiv und eben das Ambiente, Ferien pur.

(Translated by Google) To tell the truth, I only visited the outside, because in addition to an exhibition of paintings which, I believe and I repeat BELIEVE, is permanent, as I have always seen it every time I went to Stresa, these days there is also an interesting exhibition of vinyl records. It is the oldest villa in Stresa (Original) A dire la verità io ho visitato solo l'esterno, perchè oltre ad una esposizione di quadri che, credo e ripeto CREDO sia permanente, in quanto l'ho sempre vista ogni volta che mi sono recata a Stresa, in questi giorni c'è anche un'interessante mostra di vinili. È la villa più antica di Stresa

(Translated by Google) With this review I wish to bear witness to the havoc perpetrated in one of the most important national and international study centres, as well as an essential monument for national cultural and political history. Study center donated to one of the major protagonists of the Risorgimento and the history of Italy, as well as a great philosopher, ANTONIO ROSMINI, buried there; here, meeting with ALESSANDRO MANZONI who lived in Lesa, he also made a decisive contribution to his literary theory. One of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, CLEMENTE REBORA, is buried here in the hilly part. ANTONIO FOGAZZARO wrote the famous phrase in bronze there. An almost immortal symbol stood at the beginning of the garden, a majestic and three-hundred-year-old CEDAR OF LEBANON which stood before it in memory of many events: now it has been DROPPED, officially because it was 'sick', unofficially: just ask the inhabitants of Stresa: due to evident building speculation and tourist, because the shade of the adjacent hotel was annoying. A mutilation for Italians and foreigners who will neither see nor know. (Original) Con la presente recensione desidero testimoniare lo scempio perpetrato in uno dei più importanti Centri di Studio nazionali e internazionali, nonché monumento imprescindibile per la Storia culturale e politica nazionale. Centro di studi Donato ad uno dei maggiori protagonisti della vicenda Risorgimentale e della Storia d'Italia, nonché filosofo sommo, ANTONIO ROSMINI, ivi sepolto; qui incontrandosi con ALESSANDRO MANZONI che risiedeva a Lesa, diede un contributo decisivo anche alla sua teoria letteraria. Qui è sepolto, nella parte collinare, uno dei maggiori poeti del NOVECENTO, CLEMENTE REBORA. ANTONIO FOGAZZARO vi scrisse la celebre frase in bronzo. Simbolo quasi immortale si alzava al principio del giardino un maestoso e tricentenario CEDRO DEL LIBANO che stava innanzi a memoria di tante vicende: ora è stato ABBATTUTO, ufficialmente perché 'malato', ufficiosamente: basta chiedere agli abitanti di Stresa: per evidente speculazione edilizia e turistica, ché dava fastidio l'ombra a albergo adiacente. Una mutilazione per gli Italiani e gli Stranieri che non vedranno né sapranno.
