An amazing cruise to Villa Taranto

Lake Maggiore became one of the main destinations during the so-called “XIX-century Grand Tour” for its mild climate and its luxuriant nature; that’s why a Scottish explorer fell in love with the peninsula of Verbania and he decided to transform it into a huge park, subdivided into several different sectors.

Meeting with a private licensed tourist guide at Stresa or Baveno. Transfer by to Verbania private taxi-boat. A walking guided tour to Villa Taranto for its botanic gardens, which cover an area of about 18 hectares on the promontory of Castagnola. They were projected by Neil McEacharn, a Scotsman captain, between 1931-1940. You will wander through the English landscaped gardens filled with exotic plants and rare species. The gardens are famous for their huge rhododendrons but they are laid out with plants of interest for all seasons of the year.
Back to Stresa or Baveno by private taxi-boat.
