Lake Maggiore tour: where nature meets history

The lake is an elegant mirror, reflecting unspoilt nature to offer breathtaking views. The true beauty of Lake Maggiore is best experienced by boat. Set sail in a taxi boat from Feriolo di Baveno to take in the wonders of the Borromean Gulf, with its Renaissance palaces overlooking the water. Check out Isola dei Pescatori, Isola Bella and Isola Madre, then make your way to Luino, famous for its Wednesday market. Stroll through the 350 stalls of this temple of good food, discovering the scents, flavours and traditions that have been handed down since 1541. You can shop for local wines and products, as well as clothes and flowers, then continue through the colourful alleys, admiring Palazzo Verbania, home to the archive of writers Pietro Chiara and Vittorio Sereni. Return to the boat to enjoy an aperitivo on board and admire the Castles of Cannero: ruined ancient fortifications that seem to float on the water. An immersive experience to get a privileged glimpse of a stunning setting.
