This beautiful holiday apartment is located on a house on Lake Maggiore, in the village of Gignese. From the veranda, which is located in a private garden of 800 m2, you have a panoramic view of the impressive mountains. The friendly and discreet owner lives in the other part of the house. At a few kilometers distance (approx. 12 minutes drive) is the village of Stresa. The beautiful nature, architectural gems and mild climate make Stresa one of the most popular tourist destinations of Lake Maggiore and Italy. Stresa is an ideal base for the Borromean islands, one of the main attractions of Lake Maggiore. From Stresa, you can also very easily visit the Borromean Islands. Of these three islands, two are still owned by the Borromeo family who were rich and powerful in this region for five centuries. Isola Bella houses the family palace, Isola Madre is a tropical garden full of exotic plants and white peacocks and the villa of the family. The small Isola dei Pescatori is not much more than an ancient small fishing village. You can easily take the ferry from Stresa to visit the islands - end your day in style with a dinner in one of the piazzas in Stresa.
