The three small islands Isola Bella, Isola dei Pescatori (Isola Superiore) and Isola Madre in the Borromean Gulf are a gem of nature and beauty. In the Middle Ages they were a fortification and a religious center. In the Baroque era, the islands got their typical appearance from the Borromeo family, whose name they bear.
A round trip by boat to the islands with their blooming gardens, attractive palaces and the poetic fishermen’s houses of Isola di Pescatori is one of the attractions of Lake Maggiore.
