Description
Como to the Borromean Gulf: An Exclusive Private Cruise Across Lake Maggioree
Begin your journey with a comfortable private transfer from Como to Stresa, Lake Maggiore’s “pearl,” where you will meet your private guide. From here, enjoy a private boat cruise through the stunning Borromean Gulf, taking in views of Isola Madre’s lush botanical gardens, home to exotic wildlife and rare plants. Disembark on Isola Bella to marvel at its magnificent Baroque palace and its meticulously designed 10-level terraced gardens.
Admiring What Life Is Like On A Fishing Island
Transfer to Fisherman’s Island for a leisurely stroll along its quaint alleys, discovering stalls and stores: an authentic glimpse into traditional lake life. Individual lunch in one of the typical restaurants.
Being Breathless While Admiring The Hermitage
