Belle-époque Stresa, the island palaces of the Borromeo and camellias by the water.

Lake Maggiore stretches from Piedmont into Switzerland, and its western shore is lined with villas and belle-époque hotels. From Stresa boats cross to the Borromean Islands — a palace and terraced gardens on Isola Bella, a fishing village on Isola dei Pescatori — and the Rocca di Angera watches from the far shore.
