Let us help you to enjoy your Lake Maggiore holiday like no other and show you the hidden gems, including Isola Madre, the botanical garden on water. Part of the Borromean archipelago, this island is home to a mixture of exotic plants, flowers and birds such as peacocks. It's easy to spend an afternoon strolling around the restaurants and little shops, and taking in the stunning views from the island. Take a trip away from your hotel and visit Omegna, which is on Lake Orta. Here you can wander along the riverside passageways and over beautiful bridges, exploring the historic centre. Omegna is a quiet local town so you won't find hordes of tourists here, just a real taste of Italian culture. Visit the small and picturesque town of Cannero, which is located further up the lake towards Switzerland, and offers a unique attraction away from the usual tourist circuits. This is the perfect place to experience authentic Italy.
